Expanded F6 Zoom [Archive]

Enrico Schiratti

Hi,

I added code that allows individual zooming of the PFD, ND
etc... thus the element you select by right-clicking on it
can be sized with the numeric keypad + and - keys.

http://www.projectmagenta.com/latest.html

I tried it in all sorts of configurations, and it was a bit
more complicated than I expected (spent tons of time on
it)... so if you find any problems, please let me know. I
just wish I would have considered the possibility 5 years
ago.

One thing is certain, it will *not* be possible to rotate
individual displays (i.e. PFD rotated but not ND) unless I
make a complete re-write.

Ciao

Enrico

Hi Enrico,

Sounds great! Look forward to trying it out.

Many thanks :-)

Ray.

Hi Enrico,

Downloaded GC433p but I'm having problems with the F6 page. Despite having
Capt PFD, Capt ND, Upper and Lower EICAS checked nothing except the standby

instruments is displayed on the F6 page.

If I deselect LWR EICAS the standby instruments diappear and come back when

the box is checked again.

Hope you can help.

Cheers,
Ray.

Try clicking on "reset positions" in the menu or press
Shift-Control-R.

You probably had pretty large zoom values in the pfdset.txt
file...

Probably. When I pressed C+S+R only the PFD was visible. Moved everything
left, resized and it's great :-)

Satisfied customer :-)

Cheers,
Ray.

The word "satisfied" only applies to the 60 minutes after
has been said. Sometimes less.

It surely isn't a state of mind.
