Fred, Yes it solved, if you take a look at this directive: [VIEWS]VIEW_FORWARD_WINDOWS=MAIN_PANEL,MINIPANELVIEW_FORWARD_DIR=3.0, 0.0, 0.0VIEW_FORWARD_ZOOM=0.8 Specially line 2:VIEW_FORWARD_DIR=3.0, 0.0, 0.0 The original panel.cfg uses 0 as the first direction... the new direction is 3, that lowers your eyesight and you can actually see the runway without pressing any key on FS... try it, it will solve the problem... regards
