scott_295 Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 I created a little panel to use while taxiing in spot view (the Mooney clock and a gauge that shows ground speed). I couldn't decide which I preferred, panel 1 with the gauges side by side or panel 2 with one gauge on top of the other. I have them in different positions, as well, hence the different configuration. So I did both to see which I liked better. Now here's the thing I don't understand: in order for the gauges to look normal sized, I have the window size of panel 1 set to 0.14 but for panel 2 I have to set it to 0.07, otherwise it's a lot larger. Can someone explain that? If the pilot's good, see, I mean, if he's really sharp, he can barrel that baby in so low... hee hee. Oh, you ought to see it sometime, it's a sight. A big plane like a 52 - vrooom! Ha! Its jet exhaust frying chickens in the barnyard! Ha ha! - Gen Buck Turgidson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tiger1962 Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 It would help us if you could post the actual window section from your panel.cfg file. Tim Wright "The older I get, the better I was..."

tgibson_new Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 Normally there are two numbers after a window_size= entry. The first is the width and the second is the height. If you only include one number, that is the width. Since the width of panel 1 would be twice as wide as panel 2, that number needs to be twice as large.

In the past, when a gauge looked round, I've used only one number for the window size. I forgot you can't do that with rectangular gauges. Boy do I feel stupid. lol Thanks.
