Hello,

 

I need help with my 3 monitor setup. Installed new GTX960 card and configured Nvidia surround.

 

Started FSX and loaded PMDG 737NGX and got the following:

 

Spinning mouse cursor that will not go away.

 

Popup 2D panels are quite large. Once you resize and open again the same thing happens.

 

Not sure if PMDG has a panel.cfg file that may solve this problem.

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

Cheers

 

George

I had the same issue, log a support call with PMDG and they will send you new panel files that will fix it.

Bozdog,

 

Thanks for the information but I received the panel files yesterday from Ryan at PMDG and works like a charm.

 

Appreciate your effort.

 

Cheers,

Your welcome. I picked up a great fix for the spinning cursors to do with pixel size works for nearly every plane ! . I am not at my pc at present but let me know if you need it and I'll get back to you with it

 

Regards steve

Hi Steve,

 

If you can send me any files to help this with other planes that would be great.

Hi George, there is no files as such

 

I picked this up from another user on avsim  (PWJT8D ) , VERY gratefiul to him and credit should be given to him

 

, just back up the panel.cfg first  then try changing each view by adding this;

 

find the brackets for the windows such as [Window00], [Window01] and so on.

 

Within each window you'll see a line that says size_mm=1280,960 or whatever that window size may be.

 

All you need to do is add a line right under the size_mm= line that says pixel_size=1280,960. That pixel size line is what will resize the window properly and not cause the spinning cursor.

 

So what ever the resolution size of the size_mm= numbers are, copy those into the new line you add pixel_size=.

 

eg on The Katana 4X  the original panel.cfg had

 

[Window00]
file=
size_mm=1280
window_size_ratio=1.000
position=7
visible=0
no_luminous=1
ident=MAIN_PANEL
window_size= 1.000, 1.000
window_pos= 0.000, 0.000
zorder=0

 

I changed to

 

[Window00]
file=
size_mm=1280
pixel_size=1280
window_size_ratio=1.000
position=7
visible=0
no_luminous=1
ident=MAIN_PANEL
window_size= 1.000, 1.000
window_pos= 0.000, 0.000
zorder=0

 

 

etc for each  [window]   then MOST of the Shift 1,2,3,4 views etc dont give you the spinning cursor

 

 

This has woirked 99% of the time including my A2A planes, best tip I ever found for multi monitors

 

Hope this helps

 

Cheers

Steve

Steve,

 

YOU are the man!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Followed your instructions and now all the planes with popups work just great.

 

Thanks also to PWJT8D for his efforts.

 

Cheers,

Your welcome,it drove me insane everytime I bought a plane wondering if it would work on multi monitors. Just wish developers would release planes with alternative panels as part of the package .

Glad to be of help
