Okay, I've been trying to get a decent panel for a King Air C90 for a couple of days, now, but I never found one. So I loaded the default panel from the sim, and here's what I got:

I Like Flight Simulation!

It looks like there are a few gauges missing or he just hasn't turned on the power. Try flipping on the Avionics switch in the lower left.

Well, actually, what you're seeing is a picture of the entire screen. In other words, I can't see anything out of the panel view other than that corner on the left. You can see that the gauges are very warped; stretched from top to bottom. What I need is a way to fix the size of the window to where it is always the right heights. Of course I can just resize it when I get into the sim, but I would rather not have to take the time to do this every time I want to fly this aircraft.

And the funny thing is, it only happens with this one aircraft (Beechcraft C90b). When I try the regular King Air, the panel works fine. All I did was copy and exact duplicate from the King Air folder over to the C90 folder, and it ended up like this.

Don't copy - alias

Surely you know how by now.. Grin

This is the panel.cfg file of the 2nd aircraft

alias=beech_king_air_350\panel

But why doesn't it work? Seems to me that aliasing is just a way for the sim to not take up as much space on your hard disk. Right?

Ender. To the best of my knowledge a basic panel is not affected in any way by the aircraft you use it in. I can only assume that when you copied/pasted the Panel folder in from the other aircraft something got messed up. Did you actually try Roger's suggestion & alias it instead? If you did that & you still have the same problem I will ponder on it.

You may have changed your screen size and not checked the auto resize panel box. If you have not the panel will be the same size in pixels that it was before on the larger screen and thus take up more space.

As I am away from home for the next week or so, I won't be able to check, but I think I covered all the bases you mentioned when I copied it. I didn't even open the folder before I moved it. If I had made a screensize change (which I didn't) wouldn't the panel simply be larger, but everything would still look the right size? The gauges in the pic are all stretched vertically. I've seen this problem once before, on an aircraft I NEVER fly or even mess with, the Mooney Bravo. This was in one of my previous installations, and I have since checked it: no problem.
