Resize ATC window permanently?

[newtie 533]

Hi all-

Is there a way to resize the ATC window?

ATC chatter occupies about one third of the window with the rest white space.

Thanks, Mark

I just grab the top  or the bottom  and drag them to the size I want. I can also grab the whole message and drag it to any part of the screen and adjust the width of the log.

Permanently out of the box nope unfortunately, but you can use something like this http://www.casawave.fr/upload/fsx/Panel_Position.zip

It saves all your windows and panels positions!

Marques,

I downloaded that PDF file which was zipped. Unfortunately though, I can not open it. I wonder if you could enlarge  on your last post somewhat.

I wuld like to think that it may slve a problem of mine in that I undock a VC view which I then move to another screen. I then resize it fill that screen, pan to create a side external view through the cockpit window. I am able to save it as part of the set up for that flight. Each time I call up that flight it is displayed where I left it but... the view returns to the original VC view and I have to go through the panning process again each time I want to fly. I am hoping that what you linked to will actually be able to save it  permanently in the panned state.

Newtie,

I don't think this will be much good to you but you can undock the ATC chatter, resize and move it to anywhere on your screen. HOWEVER, that turns your opaque ATC block into a vivid blue box which you cannot see through.  I believe that this would be intrusive if left on your original screen, but it works wonderfully if you have an extra screen.  You have to save it of course. I hope this helps.

Regards

Tony

Yes, I'm aware of that. I'm looking at resizing it permanently so I don't have to do that every time.

Thanks,

I only want to save the size of the ATC window, not the main window as I'm running triple monitors.

Yes, it can be done very easily. When I am behind my PC I will post how. Stay tuned.

I'm running triple monitors so this might work. Will give it a try.

Go to your P3D folder, open the Gauges folder and open missionpanels.cfg with Notepad.

Search for [Window11] which is the ATC window.

Edit the window_size entry or: the numbers are percentages of the screen, so 0.2, 0.53 means the width is a 5th (20%) of your screen and the height is just over half (53%) of your screen.

Edit the position: 0 (zero) is top left corner, 1 is top middle, 2 is top right corner, 3 is left middle, 4 is middle, 5 is right middle, 6 is bottom left corner, 7 is bottom middle, 8 is bottom right corner

Save the file and your done forever. Well, until the next reinstall. Just try some numbers to see what works best for you.

Thanks Jeroen, l had this very same question earlier and was very happy to see someone finally posing (and someone answering!) it.

Kind regards, Michael

Thank you, Jeroen, this is really very helpful.  I've adjusted mine and I love the slimmer look.  I set the window width to 0.11, and left the setting of 0.53 so I wouldn't need to scroll through the menu items.  I then assigned the position to number 2 that keeps it in the upper right corner.  What a grand tweak this is!
