skip d Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 Hiya guys... I have an FMC (isg1 SMITHS) that is currently in 'position=2' (top right) in my panel.cfg. I would like to move it 2 inches left. I know it can be dragged to that position....but if it can be done permanently so whenever I hit Shift+8,it will be in the new position. Can this be done ??? Thanks for any help. Skip d Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrzippy Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 What does the panel.cfg look like showing the window for the FMC? Still thinking about a new flightsim only computer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrzippy Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 (edited) Enough is shown! Is this FMC a download from this site? I'll look around and see if I can download it and look to adjust position. What aircraft are you using? I see the FMS is payware. I might try with a freeware FMC. Just looking at the freeware Honeywell FMC and it's [window.xx] in the panel.cfg: Looking at the numbers in red, this is how positioning is done without the standard positions. You would use your numbers for size_mm=, gauge=,window_size-ratio=, and adjusting the numbers for window_pos=, also window_size=, also everything in gauge00=. Just trying to think about things...Maybe pos=2 is a starting point and window_pos= is a fine tune adjustment??
