Bryan Richards Posted May 2, 2014 at 03:51 AM Posted May 2, 2014 at 03:51 AM Hey congratulations on the release. Just wondering, I've been spoiled by fsinn mini control panel with its small size and access to many of the menu options from it and since I always fly full screen it makes it very convenient. Does vpilot have a similar mini panel or is the drop down in fsx menu bar the only convenient way of accessing some of the functions? Can the vpilot main window remain on top of fsx when it is in full screen, and can it be reduced to a single line bar in a similar way you could by double clicking the top border of the squawkbox client?

Ross Carlson Posted May 2, 2014 at 04:27 AM Posted May 2, 2014 at 04:27 AM vPilot cannot sit on top of FSX when FSX is in full screen mode, because vPilot does not run as an FSX module. It is a separate, stand-alone application. There is no minibar.

John Ryder 1105436 Posted July 16, 2014 at 05:45 PM Posted July 16, 2014 at 05:45 PM Something to incorporate or develop perhaps ?? I don't have a 2nd computer, and being able to hit a button that can bring it to run on top would make this All-Round winner..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross Carlson Posted July 16, 2014 at 07:41 PM Posted July 16, 2014 at 07:41 PM It's not something I would be willing to do, because writing modules that run inside FS is a major pain and requires a programming language that I prefer not to use. If someone else wanted to write one, I might be willing to create some sort of API so that vPilot can communicate with the FSX module.

Ross Carlson Posted July 19, 2014 at 12:55 PM Posted July 19, 2014 at 12:55 PM It still wouldn't be able to be displayed in front of full-screen FSX. Developer: vPilot, VRC, vSTARS, vERAM, VAT-Spy Senior Controller, Boston Virtual ARTCC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas Rushworth 842030 Posted July 20, 2014 at 02:41 AM Posted July 20, 2014 at 02:41 AM Agreed. However, a smaller size would be helpful in windowed mode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
