Change the default position of the main panel

[Simicro 247]

I am running a 2560 x 1440 screen and I would like the main panel to be displayed by defaut in the upper right corner of the screen.

What should I change in the panel.cfg?

[Window20]
size_mm=1526, 56
pixel_size=1526, 56
position=3
visible=0
ident=1000
zorder=100
Sizeable=0
gauge00=FS2Crew777!FS2Crew_MainPanel, 0,0,1526,56
gauge01=FS2Crew777!FS2Crew_Audio, 20,20,5,5
gauge02=FS2Crew777!FS2Crew_VoiceMain, 10,10,5,5

Hi Tony,

It's this line:

position=3

Try changing it to a 2.

Cheers,

Hello Bryan,

Hope you are fine in these special times (COVID) and many thanks for your hint.

I tried:

Position = 2 ==> the menu sticks to the upper edge of the screen, and is horizontally centered.

Position = 9 ==> the menu sticks to the upper edge of the screen, and is horizontally aligned left.

I've tried all values up to 20 but have not found the "aligned right" yet.

Those positions values are defined by PMDG or Lockeed Martin?

Hi Tony,

It uses the Flight Simulator SDK.  Maybe your screen resolution is tripping it up, but this is how it works.

From the SDK for the Panel entry:

Specifies the relative position of a panel window to the main window. A number from 0 to 8 (as shown below) designates the position of the panel window. If nothing is specified, 7 is the default, otherwise, one of: 0 = upper-left corner 1 = upper-middle side 2 = upper-right corner 3 = middle-left side 4 = middle 5 = middle-right side 6 = lower-left corner 7 = lower-middle side 8 = lower-right corner.

Many thanks Bryan, I'll try tweaking and tinkering, I don't think you can help me more.
