Question concerning GPS in fs9

[anunnaki]

Helle to all!
I'm in the process of building my own flightcenter.
Right now I'm trying to find out if there is any way
to remove the bezel from the gps in FS9? The only
thing I want displayed is the moving map section,
no bezel and no buttons. After that I like to alter the
size too, so there is no black space around the map.
Does anyone know if this is possible and if yes, how?
Thank you in advance to the people who'll take the
time to respond.

There is a file in download section of this site---FS9gps .rar is i remember correct, with the modifyed gps500 gauges bitmap just for this purpose

If you will fail to find that--send a message to me

Hello Joseph,
thank you very much for your response. and what a fast one it was. I found the file you were talking about, thanks for the tip. As soon as i get home tonight i will give it a try! I'll let you know if it worked just to say thanks again.

Thank you joseph!
This is how far I am at this point (see pic)

Now, does anybody know how to get rid off all the blackness around the map?
I cannot just resize it in FS9 to fit the screen. I run FS9 over 3 screens in extended mode, this means if I resize it, the sides of the window will partially be visible in my main screen. I myself thought about resizing the window in my panel cfg file. Make the window smaller and not the gauge itself, and then risize it again in FS2004. Does anybody have the right solution for me? Thanks!

Hi Frank

Undock the gps , resize the gauge to be oversized for your gps monitor, then drag the image on the gps screen
Then save the flight

Another solution is ,may be ,to play with gps dimentions in Panel cfg
There is a software addon called Fspanel studio ,making the task easyer
otherwice just try to play with the numbers

Your Gps looking very cool--congratulations

Joseph
