Redimensioning the Engine Panel Popup Window
Dear Sirs
I have been eagerly using and enjoying this product which I like a lot.
But there is something I would like to ask for your assistance with, which is regarding the
Engine Panel popup.
The fact is that at several phases of each flight I use this panel a lot. When taking off, in the
approaches, when making touch and go's, when making requested mixture and power adjustments. And I use it rather than switchig the point of view because it prevents me from distracting from flying the airplane.
But every time I load the Aircraft to start a new flight session, I have to manually redimension this panel because due to it's predefined size it covers the GPS's and other instruments. I would like to know where can I persistently set a new size to make this panel smaller so that it can be more confortable to use, preserve the new dimensions so to be used every time, and simultaneously use the GPS and the other instruments as well.
I supposed this could be done in the Aircraft's Configuration file which I was looking into but
could not find any clue on which section it should be found. I suppose I must know the standard dimensions and the place where I can change them to redimension it in a relative way.
If this is possible to be done, I hope you post any directions as to how to proceed. I would appreciate your help.
Thanks in advance and looking forward to your reponse.

Sorry sir, I did not post my request on this forum just because it is not an issue, it is just something I want to do but I do not know how to.

Re: Redimensioning the Engine Panel Popup Window
Alvaro, look at the panel.cfg file in the main ..\panel folder, and find the [Window02] section. The popup window's position and size are defined in these two lines. You can adjust these as desired:
window_size= 0.176, 0.514
window_pos= 0.834, 0.486
window_size= 0.176, 0.514
window_pos= 0.834, 0.486
