Hi byork,

a small hint: in the FS2Crew Control Panel it's 3.1 yet. ;-)

I know... I'll fix that :-)

The version number that counts is the one that is displayed when you open the FS2Crew Main Panel.

Bump... v3.3 has been released!

Bump v3.4 released for P3D V4 users.

Is there a possibility to scale the FS2Crew panel? On my 4K screen it's that small that it's unreadable. All other panels from you working fine on 4K.Thanks in advance.

Do you know how to edit a panel.cfg file?

[daniel_schm]

Should be easliy with notepad. Any specific entry or size?

[byork]

If you look at the panel.cfg file, you'll see the FS2Crew windows on the bottom.

Make a backup of your panel.cfg first before trying to change anything.

You can try altering the number in Window 21 to experiment.

Try doubling the 959,56 values.

That the size of the main panel.

Thanks Bryan. Will check this when I'm home.

I also recommend reading the panels and gauges SDK... then you can see what all the numbers mean in the panel.cfg files.

Cheers,

size_mm=1918, 112
pixel_size=1918, 112

is working fine. Alternative you can just change Sizeable=0 to Sizeable=1 and scale the window.

Thank you for the quick solution.

Do you have the host aircraft installed?   Make sure it's the correct version...  P3D v4 is different from non V4.. FSX, etc.

I'm guessing you might be trying to install the non P3D V4 version of FS2Crew into the P3D V4 dash 8.

hI yes it is the P3D V4 version. The Q400 loads and runs normally in P3D V4.5. The previous V3.3 enables  normally as well.

The FS2Crew installer is checking for the existence of this file to see if the Dash 8 is installed.

Install Dir is your main P3D V4 folder that the FS2Crew installer should auto-detect.

#InstallDir#\SimObjects\Airplanes\mjc8q400\aircraft.cfg

Bump .... V3.5 released with free P3D v5 support!
