2D Panels

I've just started fooling around with X-Plane 9.40, and XPUIPC. I downloaded an L-1011 from X-Plane.org, and I noticed that I can only see the top-left 20% of the 2D Panel; I'm used to seeing more complete panels in the MSFS world. Is there any way to zoom out the panel, in 2D mode?

 

Cheers!

Hi Luke, welcome to XPlane world!! If you can see the full panel, which is mostly the case, in the plane maker, then you should be able to see it in display too...Most likely there is a screen resolution mismatch. Also, you would have more panel below than you can see on the screen, so try your down arrow, or map one of the keys, joystick to move down (General down IIRC). You can map keys to pan right and left, that might help you see the rest of the panel. I have to admit though that I haven't tried the L-1011.

 

Ah, I did forget the last qn, zoom is not available for panel , atleast not that I know off!!

I'm running at 1920x1080, I'm not sure what mismatch there'd be. I'll try the aircraft maker.

That's what I currently need to do. It's quite annoying.

 

Cheers!

The panels dont extend based on screen resolution, so if u match ur screen resolution to the rendering settings then u might see the full panel, albeit not incl the scroll down part. Most of the panels are 1024 x 768 but can be stretched to fit the screen. I dont remember the setting of the top of my head. I run 1680 x 1024 and all panels span the entire width for me. If someone doesnt reply b4 eve, I will send you the screenshots of my setup tonight.

 

For the up/down there ae two, one which moves the panel up and down and the other which will moves the view down so u can see ahwad better. I find I need both.
