Change the default size of the menu windows in P3Dv3.4

Recommended Posts

 

 


Sorry to hear it did not work for you. I changed only the Y dimension to 350 (375,350) so to enabled all the GSX entries to fit on the same screen.
Perhaps you have to stick within a certain limit or ratio for it to work ?

 

Maybe you're right because now that I used the same value you're using P3D didn't exit and the menu did show up correctly. However I can't say I noticed a big difference in size which in itself is strange.

 

Maybe I'll do some more experimenting or otherwise I'll just adjust the size manually. Not a big deal really since I only need to do it once per P3D session and then I'm sure I can get the exact size and position I like.

 

Thanks anyway!


Can you post exactly what you have now under that Window12 entry?

 

gb.

 

On the first run when P3D exited by itself I was using the default values times two meaning 750,500 and on the second run I was using the same values as Tony as mentioned above.

Might be best to forget about the size_mm line and add (just an example):

 

window_size             = 0.4, 0.5

 

below the size_mm line.

 

This defines the size of the window as a fraction of the total screen size.

Horizontal dimension first (0.4 ie four tenths of screen width)

then vertical (0.5 ie five tenths, or one half, of screen height.

 

Edited: Had vert/hoz back to front.

Yes, you have. Convention is x dimension (width) first, y (height) second.

 

Where there are 4 values these are x, y, cx, cy, where x, y is the position of the top left corner and cx, cy are the dimensions.

Thanks Pete, just realized that.

Yes, I think it will change the size for all simConnect launched windows. There is an entry also for the ATC window and others as well but I have not tried those.

...

Resizing the ATC window works fine. I moved it further to the top right corner and made it a bit narrower.
