GSX menu opens in full screen

[kityatyi]

Hello,

P3D V4.2 here. Purchased the Maddog earlier this afternoon. After installing I found that calling for the GSX on-screen menu (CTRL+F12) the menu opens in full screen and not in the the usual small pop-up form. Searching the Internet I found a similar report from 2016 when someone experienced the exact same issue after installing the TFDi 717.

I am wondering if anyone else had this issue and if there is a know solution to this please.

Cheers

Im having the same issue..I tried the q400 and the wndow was normal size, not expanded..So

  maybe a maddog/gsx thing..Also using 4.2

I guess it has to do with the TFDi components.

For a permanent solution

The size of the GSX window is controlled by a "SIMCONNECT_WINDOW" entry in the missionpanels.cfg file located in the "\gauges" folder. 

 Open missionpanels.cfg with notepad and look for the following entry:
   
[Window12]
size_mm                           = 375,250
position                            = 4                     ; Middle Of Screen
visible                              = 0
ident                                = SIMCONNECT_WINDOW
scaleform_file                   = MenuWindow            ; Use the generic menu window scaleform content
scaleform_instance_name  = SimConnectWindow      ; Provide a unique instance name 

 after the size_mm line, add the following line where X.XX (horizontal) and Y.YY (vertical) are a percentage of the main P3D window from 0.00 (0%) to 0.99 (99%)
  
  window_size = X.XX, Y.YY   
  
  The "window_size = 0.50, 0.50" works for me.

Doesn't happen in the TFDi only the Maddog

Same problem there only with the Maddog (Gsx window and As window)...No problem at all with the Tfdi

Of all my planes it only happens with the Maddog for me. I’m still on 4.1.

Works perfect, mine looks like this now:

 

[Window12]
size_mm                 = 375,250
window_size             = 0.30, 0.25
position                = 4                     ; Middle Of Screen
visible                 = 0
ident                   = SIMCONNECT_WINDOW
scaleform_file          = MenuWindow            ; Use the generic menu window scaleform content
scaleform_instance_name = SimConnectWindow      ; Provide a unique instance name

Have the same issue with Maddog.  Will have to try the fix above.
