X-Pilot Update Woes

Featured Replies

Forced into updating X-Pilot for X-Plane 11, I installed it. Now I can't use it.

The problem is the sizing of the <Settings> window in X-Pilot - it is not big enough to display all the information and cuts off the <Microphone> and <Earpiece> settings, and anything further down the page. There is no scroll bar, and no screen 'grab' vectors to enlarge the sub-window. As I can't set these, X-Pilot itself does not function.

I have tried the suggested remedies of going to the X-Plane 11 shortcut icon and right-clicking, then selecting Properties>Compatibility>Change high DPI Settings, then ticking box for "Override high DPI scaling behavior" and checking "Application" is showing in next line. When I do this and try to adjust the screen size using the 'grab' vector handles (which now appear) nothing happens - screen does not 'grab', except the grab handles now disappear again.

[Actually, on the Windows website for Windows 10 they suggest using "System Enhanced" in the above routine, instead of "Application" - the result is exactly the same].

I am beginning to get really frustrated with X-Plane 11 - it appears to be "one step forward - two steps back".

Any help, as always, much appreciated.

I have found an answer - start X-Pilot on my main 28 inch monitor. If I start it on the 23 inch second monitor, then it gives the problem as described previously. It's odd, as I have always started X-Pilot on the smaller monitor before today, with no problems.

The problem seems to be with the x-pilot client, an external plugin, not with x-plane itself.
You might want to report your feedback on their own forum for them to look into it.
