Hello, i would like to edit the standard position and standard window-size for FS2Crew when i Open the app.

So i have an ultra-widescreen, and FS2Crew open the window over half the screen size, so i must always make this windwow smaller.
Also the position from the FS2Crew-window should be in te left upper corner, i always have to move the FS2Crew window to this position.
hope there is a way to edit this, so this things could be automatic when open FS2Crew.
thanks,

thomas

Hi Thomas,

In the old FSX/P3D FS2Crews, you can edit that via the panel.cfg file.

Position = 0    that's top left.

You can also fiddle with the other numbers to change the sizes.

 

Best,

 

hello, thanks for Reply, in my PMDG planes your description did work.
But how to in the "Leonardo Maddog" for P3DV5?
in the Panel.cfg for the Maddog i cannot see an Entry for "FS2Crew"
the Problem here is the same. Your FS2Crew panel opens with percentage from the monitor.
in an ultra wide monitor the window opens over more then the half wide from the screen.
there also must a entry to change this options. 

Maddog uses the same system as PMDG.

FS2Crew entries are added to it's panel.cfg files.

Please search for the Maddog panel.cfg files.  FS2Crew entries are definitely on them (or FS2Crew would never load).

You're probably just not looking at the right panel.cfg files.

 

Cheers,

 

hello, i am looking into D:\Thomas\Prepar3D v5 Add-ons\MaddogX\SimObjects\Airplanes
there are 3 Folders: MaddogX, MaddogX83 ans MaddogX88
in all of this three are panel.cfg - files. in none of these are eny Entries for Maddog.
FS2Crew is enabled:


There are none other Aircraft files for the Maddog.  Also i have the Problem: FS2Cew is NOT working in any Maddog.
have updated to Version 2b802 now. so FS2Crew will not work since update
where is the fault??

Please look in your "Documents" folder on your computer.

If memory serves correct, that's where they'll be... they'll be in the one of the Maddog sub-folders in there.

You could also do a file search on your computer using the term "panel.cfg".

 

Cheers,

Hello,

the Path: D:\Thomas\Prepar3D v5 Add-ons\MaddogX\SimObjects\Airplanes. is in my Documents folder.

My Windows Documents Path ist since 20 Jears on Drive D:\   Never an Problem with that. 
When i click on Documents (Systemfolder) windows open my correct Documents folder, which is D:\Thomas.

I have deinstalled All Maddog and FS2Crew with Windows deinsteller, deletet the Folders so i have to do in the Maddog Manual.
Have restart Windows. New install Maddog an FS2Crew.
Set the sign again in Maddog Loadmanager. Will not work.
 

Why did you re-install everything?

By setting sign I assume you meant trying to re-enable FS2Crew via the Maddog Config Manager?

 

i have open Addonmanager as Admin, disabled FS2Crew. Closed Addonmanager.
Have open Addonmanager as Admin, enabled FS2Crew. Closed the Addonmanager.
It did nothing in the three panel.cfg Files.
The Maddog works in P3Dv5.2HF1, but FS2crew not.
I have to entry the "FS2CrewMadDog" -entries manualy into the panel.cfg like in the PMDG.
I did not know, why FS2Crew-Installer and Maddog Addonmanager will not do this.
so now the main panel opens. but click to CFG did open a black window,
i can not set any options...

so i think i need your support to get this run like it should in P3Dv5.2HF1
would like to send you a ticket, but your website is closed.
i have also send a ticket to leonardo. maybe there is something wrong with the latest Maddog in 5.2 Addonmanager.
before Update it still works...
 

In the Maddog version, Maddog themselves handle the FS2Crew panel.cfg file entries, not us.

Maybe Maddog made a mistake in their latest update.

Can you please post the contents of your panel.cfg here.

It could just be that a Window number is out of sequence in the panel.cfg.

 

 

Hello, after again  de- and install from Maddog and FS2Crew its runnig now!
What i have done now - different to the not working install:
 
the manual of the Maddog says to restore the config after an update by loading the previously saved configuration back into the addon manager.
I skipped this step, left the Maddog settings on "Default", started the simulator, closed it again.
After that I installed FS2Crew 2.1, again-  after that the activation from FS2Crew in the addon manager was automatically set,
and FS2Crew works now.
Apparently it is not always correct to restore the previously saved settings even if it says so in a manual.
Now that it works again, thank you for your time!
Greetings from Austria, Thomas

Just for your INFORMATION only:
this was the FS2Crew-Entry which done fault from the installer before:
[Window13]
size_mm=726, 57
window_size= 0.3821, 0.0475
position=3
visible=0
ident=1000
zorder=100
gauge00=maddog!md_empty, 0,0,1,1
gauge01=maddog!md_empty, 1,0,1,1
gauge02=maddog!md_empty, 2,0,1,1

[Window14]
size_mm=890, 285
window_size= 0.4684, 0.2375
position=4
visible=0
ident=1001
zorder=101
gauge00=maddog!md_empty, 3,0,1,1

this was the entries, i have done from sample PMDG (but this also has not worked):
[Window13]
size_mm=1069, 51
window_size= 0.2784, 0.0425
window_pos=0.00,0.00
visible=0

gauge01=FS2CrewMadDog!FS2Crew_Audio, 20,20,5,5
gauge02=FS2CrewMadDog!FS2Crew_VoiceMain, 10,10,5,5

gauge00=FS2CrewMadDog!FS2Crew_SecondaryPanel, 0,0,402,639

And this are the working now entrys from the welldone latest installation:
[Window13]
size_mm=726, 57
window_size= 0.3821, 0.0475

position=4
visible=0
ident=1001
zorder=101
gauge00=FS2CrewMadDog!FS2Crew_AudioSetup, 0,0,890,285

 

 

Glad you got it sorted 😉

Personally, it's always best to just re-create settings in any app rather than trying to reimport old setting (in most cases in my opinion).  Keep it as simple as possible to avoid problems.
