Katana Menus


Recommended Posts

So, I thought I'd give this Katana a go seeing as I have a bit of spare time, but it doesn't quite work. The menus to do walk around, settings, maintenance etc will not work at 5760*1080. The only way I can get them to work is to change my resolution down to 1920*1080 (going from 3 screens to 1 :( not convenient in any way). Any suggestions as to why this might be happening?

Few more details. Tried with both the retail version and 1.01 beta, both of which have the same outcome.

Yep i have the same problem, i guess you are running eyefinity as well?

If you click on an option the mouse pointer goes crazy and starts flashing.

If you end the flight and then come back in the 4x menu appears. But as indicated above, nothing works at 5760x1080

Any help?

Glad its not just me with the problem. Im not using eyefinity, Im running Nvidia surround via 2 GTX 580's - which is reassuring as its not a Nvidia or driver issue

Yes that's part of the problem. The menus do not show up, i can get the "icons menu" up, it looks awful but works. The setup menu and most of the others just cause the mouse pointer to go nuts. It alternates between the spinning disk thing (win7) and the pointer. Like something is loading.

The 4x menu does not load on first attempt with the aircraft, however if i end flight and go straight back in, it appears (and looks fine).

I guess it's a resolution issue since i am using a ATI 6970 with 3x monitors and the other chap is using Nvidia.

Thanks

Hi Mathijs, what happens for me: The first menu (shift 3) loads up its all streached out of proportion but I expect that with having such a crazy resolution. The icons are all there and Im able to click on them. How ever the only iocns that actually display anything are the Mantenance icons. So the equiptment, service and workshop menues all show all be it streached. None of the there icons work. Like Capt. Wotan the mouse pointer flashes between the windows 7 loading and normal pointer when I click on any of the other icons, which are all the ones that load across the top of the screen or settings which is ful screen. Hope this is a better explanation.

Just adding a little to Matts information.

I run in windowed mode, if i only use a single monitor rather than all 3 the product works great. So what i can do at the moment is use it single windowed for prep, when i am ready to fly i use all 3 again.

Thanks

Ian

hello

i have the same problem and i post this topic

http://forum.aerosoft.com/index.php?/topic/44939-diamond-da20-100-katana-and-eyefinity/

when I change the panel.cfg to change the size of the windows of the menu it's improving but it is particularly difficult to get the right ratio.

thank you for watching this because it's a shame.

after a full day of work on panel.cfg I finally managed to get all the available minor bug-free (crazy mouse).

If you want I can send you my panel.cfg so that you can test you.

Do all the same to do a backup of your original pnael.cfg.

Could you attach it to this post if at all possible, so we all can enjoy your hard work. If not Im sure Mathijs or Shaun can upload it to the forum for you.

JB / Matt-

I have been adjusting my panel.cfg to get it to work with my Matrox 3H2Go. As I have posted on another thread, I have over the past month gone through and adjusted every panel / windowXX on my entire fleet to get the windows sized and positioned in the correct location with my 5040x1040 resolution.

As you all have found, the flicker / thinking icon will crop up when a [windowXX] is proportioned in a way that cause the window not display correctly (or at all). Why it goes to the icon goes to a blinking state versus just display a whacked out ratio window I don't know.

Changing Window00 for the "main" window fixes the initial blinking / thinking issue.

Now for the fun! JB, do you have all of your Settings / Maint / Pre-Flight pop-ups reconfigured to work with your wide resolution. Perhaps collectively we could all put together a panel.cfg that will work nicely for the wide-display guys. There are a lot of pop-ups to adjust but we can do it... I think :) I plan on working on the primary pop-ups tonight and sort of pick off the 2nd tier pop-ups as I find what I use and don't use. JB / Matt - post what you guys have done to date and I will set how it works with my setup.

Just for fun... image of current setup...

here is a copy of my panel.cfg.

I advise you well on fair eune backup of your original file before doing anything.

home display now works but it is not perfect yet.

JB - NICE WORK!! Thanks for resizing all of these menus. I can actually use them now :)

It seems that everything works just fine (no blinking icon etc). About the only think I might change a little is to have some of the panels (not all) not stack on top of one another when opened. That would vary from person to persons monitors, preference on location in general.

You have done all the tedious work and I appreciate it!

with pleasure.

for changing the location must be changed lines window_pos = 0.000, 0.000.

But I think by default (based on the addon) stack the windows as well.

if I can change something else do not hesitate.

I believe the initial window - 61 in the panel config posted here ( http://forum.aerosoft.com/index.php?/topic/45288-katana-menus/page__view__findpost__p__308851) has an error as it does not work on my setup and comes up illegibly squashed - matrox th2go.

Anyone confirm this?

The number bolded and made bigger looks wrong to me I think it should be something like 0.900 but no-one seems to have this problem?

window_size= 0.333, 0.333

window_pos= 0.000, 0.000

BTW thanks so much jb_nobrain! All other panels, in my quick check, seem to be reasonably the correct size and shape.

what's your vertical configuration?? 1080 or 1050??

the second number is the vertical's ratio. Try 0.900 in place of 0.333.

I have a 1440 by 900 for each monitor giving me 4320 by 900 for the 3.

I will try 0.900 but what really confuses me is how it works for everyone else????

my panel.cfg is for my configuration (5760*1080). So the ratio for your configuration is not good.

you have 900 px vertical so 180px less than me. If window_size= 0.333, 0.900 works for you it's good. if it's doesn't work modifiy the ratio.

if you want i help you.

ps : given the number of users triple screens it would still be wise for designers addons support this kind of panel ....

I made the change on the main panel to the 0.900 figure and it works great!

All panels working good for me.

Thanks again jb_nobrain.

I agree with the earlier post: I would like the panel.cfg option made by Aerosoft (and others) in the future.

Its no work for the programmer who understands this stuff - what, 5 minutes?

Can be trickier for us in some cases but no effort at all for the programmer.
