I've been playing with a panel, and each time I get a little what must be a rectangle to the side of the panel where it drops away - how can I avoid this?I'll post a screenie, and the panel.cfgI've checked the bmp - and it's not got that in black - at a real lost.All the ( are square brackets in the panel.cfgThanks(Window Titles)Window00=Main Panel//--------------------------------------------------------(Window00)file=main.bmp size_mm=1024window_size_ratio=1.000 position=7visible=1ident=0gauge00=RealityXP_FLT!VerticalSpeed, 452,654,100,100gauge01=RealityXP_FLT!Attitude, 338,505,100,100gauge02=RealityXP_FLT!Altimeter, 463,494,100,100gauge03=RealityXP_FLN!VOR1, 572,494,100,100gauge04=RealityXP_FLN!VOR2, 647,648,100,100gauge05=RealityXP_FLT!Airspeed, 228,547,100,100gauge06=RealityXP_FLT!Gyro, 338,617,100,100gauge07=RealityXP_FLT!TurnCoordinator, 226,657,100,100gauge08=Bendix_King_Radio!Bendix-King Radio Xpndr, 840,701,174gauge09=Bendix_King_Radio!Bendix-King Radio DME, 840,653,174gauge10=Bendix_King_Radio!Bendix-King Radio ADF, 840,605,174gauge11=Bendix_King_Radio!Bendix-King Radio Nav-Comm 2, 840,537,174gauge12=Bendix_King_Radio!Bendix-King Radio Nav-Comm 1, 840,468,174gauge13=Bell_206B!Clock, 677,510,71gauge14=Bell_206B!OMI Lights, 369, 734 ,36gauge15=Cessna208!Beacon-Lights, 620,410,20gauge16=Cessna208!Landing-Lights, 580,409,20gauge17=Cessna208!Nav-Lights, 740,410,20gauge18=Cessna208!Panel-Lights, 700,409,20gauge19=Cessna208!Strobe-Lights, 660,410,20gauge20=Cessna208!Taxi-Lights, 540,409,20gauge21=Mooney_Bravo!Gear Lever, 792,656,24gauge22=Cessna182rg!Gear Light, 792,736,21(Default View)X=0Y=0SIZE_X=8191SIZE_Y=4000http://forums.avsim.net/user_files/157534.jpg

What you're looking at is simply the bottom of the outside view. You can resize it downwards if you want. Hold the mouse over the border between the outside view and the black area. Your mouse pointer should become a two headed arrow. Click and drag downwards.Doug

Is there a way in the panel file that I can do this by default? Or do I have to do it for every time I run the panel?

Hi,Change SIZE_Y=4000 in the panel.cfg.You can calculate that depending of the size of the outside window in the main bitmap.Jan"Beatus ille qui procul negotiis..."

Apparently, you are using FS Panel Studio. I have two observations for you then:1) Update FS Panel Studio. There was a small 'bug' in earlier versions that would cause the SIZE_X= size parameter to change from 8192 to 8191, as seen in your example:SIZE_X=8191 <= this may sometimes cause a vertical 'black line' on the left side of the screen.2) Use the Default Window Position for Window00 to adjust the "horizon line" visually. This sets the SIZE_Y= parameter for you automatically.
