I am having my first go at making a panel for FS2002. I have my guages set on the 2dpanel but the view out  the window behind the panel only comes down 2/3 of the screen. I can pull it on down with the curser. but I would like to fix it. I tried resetting the default view in the panel cfg file. Still the bottom of the view cuts across behind the panel, unless I change to another aircraft and then back to the one that has the problem panel. Then the view is set where it should be. Odd eh?
Any one know a fix?

Thanks Dan I will check out the site, my copy of CFGEdit. only goes up to FS2000. Hopefully the new copy will do what I need.  I have found another way though. I re-edited the background bmp to cover the area  in question and then used FSedit and notepad to resize and move the guages to fit. It made for a nice easy to view 2d panel. I cant see the runway over the panel now. But for take offs and landings I can always switch to hud/guage view.

Hagar is right, there is no new CFGEdit, I am still using the old reliable version and it does work with FS9, although it won't read the XML or CAB gauge formats. But still works great.

To change the position of the panel or bring the sky down, open CFGEdit, select your acft. then navigate through "Windows" and then "Set default position". Here you can play around with various aspects.

Good luck and have fun.

Thanks guys! I diddled with the panel using FSEdit and manual editing in notepad. Just took a little while longer. I have a copy of the panel when it was giving me problems I may try CFGEdit on. But here is a pic of the one I got finished



Just a rework of the standard lear 45 panel and guages with a coupla extra guages that I like.
