P3Dv4 : FS2crew Main Panel gets bigger and bigger

[sanookBKK 6]

Hello got 2 problems since using FS2Crew in P3dv4

1- The electronic checklist window of the BEFORE START CHECKLIST won't close. it will close only after the BEFORE TAXI CHECKLIST

2 - I use 2 monitors while flying. i undock the The fs2crew main panel and put it on monitor 2. A strange thing is happening in P3Dv4 that did not happen in FSX

during long flight i toggle several times between windowed view and fullscreen . The FS2crew panel get bigger and bigger each time i toggle and there is no way to resize it even by toggling it on and off

The only way is to reload a PMDG panel state which is not very convenient in flight.

It does not happen with other stuff i might have on screen 2 like FMC , ATC window etc

1. That's the way it is.

2. Panel sizes are fixed in the panel.cfg.  How it could grow like that I have no idea.  Anyone else ever seen that?

Hi Byork,

1. That's the way it is.

It s not the case in the FSX version....

The code is the same in the FSX version.

Let me ask my 777 testers to see what they get.

There was no problem with the ECL.

User fixed by upgrading to latest version of the PMDG 777.

Here's how to fix the expanding windows in P3D.  It only happens when you cycle between full screen and windowed mode.

Please open your PMDG 777 panel.cfg file with "notepad".

 

It's located here:

Prepar3D v4\SimObjects\Airplanes\PMDG 777-200LR\panel\panel.cfg

 

Scroll down to "Window 20".

Delete this line:

Sizeable=0

 

Delete that. 

You can do that for any other FS2Crew windows.
