peterhayes 0 Posted February 17, 2007 Share Posted February 17, 2007 HI I have purchased the DHC Beaver for FSX and it works beautifully. I wanted to assign a "SHIFT + 2" key to allow me to have the GPS 295 to pop up to save me me zooming in on the inbuilt model each time to ensure I an on track. It works well but there is a black line at the base of the screen which sometimes flashes white-black and so on. Any ideas how I can get a pop up GPS 295 and not have this black line? I edited the panel.cfg file to achieve this effect. I have attached a screenshot to show what I mean. Thanks PeterH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no idea what causes the black line at the bottom, for now I think it is a bug in FSX. When we got SP1 I will look at it again. But of course there is the zoomed in view defined now in the VC, the only disadvantage is that it can not be undocked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
low-n-slow 0 Posted February 17, 2007 Share Posted February 17, 2007 I have the same dark stripe on my VC panel. I installed a "cockpit Commander" pop-up screen on the Beaver and got the same black stripe on the bottom of my screen. It seems to be an issue with only the Beaver. I have installed the same pop-up on all my other FSX planes and only see the issue with this plane. I suspect it has to do with some of the yet undiscovered subtilties of programming in FSX. To me, this is a minor issue in that I only use my pop-up for short periods of time and then close it again - hence, the black stripe doesn't impact me much.

peterhayes 0 Posted February 18, 2007 Author Share Posted February 18, 2007 Hi Guys Many thanks for the responses, I have now discovered the updgrade and by switching between the VC and the zoomed GPS I can achieve the same effect.

Collan 0 Posted March 18, 2007 Share Posted March 18, 2007 Hi If u change in this in panel.cfg it takes the black line away. [Default View] X=0 Y=0 SIZE_X=8192 SIZE_Y=5300 ---> change this to 6200 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[Default View] X=0 Y=0 SIZE_X=8192 SIZE_Y=5300 ---> change this to 6200 Yeppers!!! - A lot FS2004 planes flown in FSX have this black line problem. That PANEL.CFG is definitely the solution/fix 8) Note you can also try changing "Y" size to 6144 too... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
