I purchased the YF22A Raptor from DSB Design/Iris Software.    Very nice, but, I have a hard time seeing and programming altitude, vertical speed, IAS hold, etc.   The panel is a bit small for my old eyes.   The help I need is to know how to make the panel size larger.  Can this be done?   Help most appreciated.

It is in CFS1/FS98

and CFS2/FS2k; I'm sure it is in FS2k2, as well -- probably in the others (don't know your version).

This can be done a couple ways, depending upon the panel format. If you don't wish to modify (skew command) a copy of your bitmap and (note: choose not to enlarge the old bitmap, itself) paste and position it over a another copy of the old, there should be a screen-sizing entry at the bottom of the panel.cfg. However, this means losing a part of the original proportional to the amount of enlargement and viewed screen size.

Assuming your problem is with the autopilot pop-up window this can be easily resized to suit your own preferences. My Add GPS tute might help. http://www.simviation.com/lair/AddGPS.htm

This involves a simple edit to Panel.cfg & the autopilot or any other pop-up wndow can be resized in exactly the same way. The secret is the new windowsize_ratio= line for the appropriate window.
