If I understand you right, you, like I, resize the panel to give a better view out the windscreen.

Once you've done this, and any other changes you've made, like dark cockpit, etc., save the flight. If you wish you can make it the default flight.

Then you choose the flight from the 'select flight' screen, your changes will be there. Of course the airport, time and weather will also be saved.

If you have saved it as default flight, you can use the 'create flight' screen to change location, etc., and as long as you dont change the aircraft you will start with your changes.

Cheers,
Dave

ok that work fine. thank you. Grin

but the problem affect all aircraft. the 2d is always (exept when i save like you suggested)2 time the size, i see only 1/4 of it and this is the reason i have to resize it. I am wondering why it did that only by changing the quality of the display.

thank you for you answers it help. I least now i can do my flight around the world without this problem.
i am now at my 3rd leg crossing Canada (left at KSEA, i am now at CYBR)

Heya Fox,

Just a thought, but, do you have FSUIPC v3.30 installed? I just answered a similar question in another thread and your issue can be fixed with FSUIPC as well(at least it did for me when I was having this same issue with Add-On aircraft).

Go to Peter Dowson's webpage and download his excellent FSUIPC v3.30 program (if you don't already have it). You can find it here (down at the lower part of the Webpage) if you don't have it:

[url]http://www.schiratti.com/dowson.html[/url]

Install it.

Myself, I purchased a registration because it offers more features, however, the unregistered version will fix your issue as well.

Startup FS 2004. Load a Saved Flight. Any Flight. Press the Alt key to bring up the FS 2004 Main toolbar. Up at the top you will see a new item called Modules. Click on Modules, then FSUIPC.

The program will open with ten tabs at the top.
Click on the Technical Tab. In the upper left corner you will see a series of checkboxes under the heading of "Fixes and Improvements". Click a check into the box thats labeled "Stop Cockpit Sizing and Moving". Click on the FSUIPC OK button at the bottom. There you go. Problem solved. It will also work with [b]any[/b] aircraft that you select to fly so you don't have to save multiple flights in your FS 2004.

...just another thought, dont have FS9 available as that computer is in the shop, but....

Somewhere, I'd guess under Options, Settings,??, I remember a checkbox for 'Resize panel with window'. Maybe this is a solution.
