Resizing FMC Window

Post by mickwilliams36 »

Hi,

I am hoping someone could help me out resizing the Aerosoft Airbus FMC window to fit my Opencockpits FMC v3.

With Roars help I have got the buttons working but I can't work out how to get the window to fit. At present, this is what I have:

If anyone knows how to get the window the correct size, I would be extremely grateful for your help.

Many thanks,

Mick

After much trial and error I have managed to sort things out, so I now have a fully working Airbus FMC.

Roar, can't thank you enough for this driver.

Hi,

This is what I did to make it work for me.

I changed the entry for window01 in the Airbus panel.cfg files to this:

[Window01]
file=../../Aerosoft Airbus A320_A321 Base/Panel_Fallback/Panel_2d.bmp
file_1024_night=../../Aerosoft Airbus A320_A321 Base/Panel_Fallback/Panel_2d.bmp
Background_color=0,0,0
size_mm=600,800
window_size_ratio=0.250
position=0
visible=0
ident=10021
window_size= 0.116, 0.750
sizeable=1

gauge00=../SimObjects/Airplanes/Aerosoft Airbus A320_A321 Base/Panel_Fallback/DLLs/FMGS!FMGS1, 0,0,600,800, 2

You can delete all the other gauge entries for window01 as they are no longer needed.

This gives you just the FMC screen when you press Shift+2. It's just then a case of undocking the window and dragging it across to the Opencocpits FMC and selecting fullscreen...voila!

I am running a 3 monitor setup at a resolution of 5860 x 1080 using Nvidia surround. If you have a single monitor you may need to play around with the size_mm and/or window_size to get it right, although the window can be resized by dragging. Once you have it how you like it duplicate your size_mm numbers at the end of the gauge00= line, but make sure you don't get rid of the number 2. I don't know what it does, but I do know that the FMC buttons won't work if it's not there.

Hope this helps. I struggled to find any info on the internet and spent several days sorting this out. I hope this will stop others suffering the same torment.

Regards,

Mick
