Hi all,A few weeks ago Fr. Bill gave me a tip on how to illimiate "view drop" when switching panel views by defining the main panel as transparent, and overlaying the other panels on top of it.It was a perfect fix. It also exposed an issue that I had noticed before but could never get to clearly until I made the main window in Bill's method. There is a black line at the bottom of the window (See attached screen).I dont mind it because it is not interfering with the view at all, infact I would like to increase its size. The reason I wish to do this is because when I turn anti-aliasing on the 2d panel gets a 1 pixel transparent border around the screen edge... this is ugly to say the least. By increasing the hight of the black line, I could at least illiminate some of the anti-aliasing artifacts.I noticed that this line can grow prior to applying Bills fix above when I was trying my panel on a variety of AC. (on one plane it obscured half the screen).So, the question is, how do I make it stay a particular size and/or ratio?TIAShadImage one is if the AA artifactImage two is of the black line at the bottom of the screen.

The "black line" you are referring to is a product of how the [Default View], which is always [Window00] is defined in this section:[Default View]X=0Y=0SIZE_X=8192SIZE_Y=3900The SIZE_Y= entry defines how far down the screen the "outside view" will extend. Normal usage is to set the value such that it stops just a few pixels below the top edge of your shortest 2d panel...With FS Panel Studio it is easy to set this value with a simple click-and-drag operation on a WYSIWYG screen. Without FSPS it will involve quite a bit of faffing around to determine the ideal setting... ;)

Thanks once again Bill. I visited your site yesterday... I am duely humbled.Alas, I am doing everything in a simple XML editor. So faffing has become a way of life. But the upside is I know the inside of my configs like the back of my hand (ask me the co-ord of any gauge, g'head, ask). :) hehehI had noticed I could drag the edge up with the mouse in flight. I have no way of determining the actual frame rate, but "seat of the pants" measurement suggests I get a bit more fps when the view is smaller as it covers up some of the world. Is this accurate or simply wishful thinking?ThanksShad

I am by no means an expert on this, but I've had some success eliminating the one pixel bleed through by increasing X and decreasing Size_X, this is equivalent to grabbing the scenery by the edge and moving it over, using the mouse.e.g. X=5, size_X=8182What I do not understand, is why subsequent panel windows, like a Landing View, do not allow the scenery background to be narrowed and continue to show the AA one-pixel distortion..Anyone have this licked?
