PANEL ROTATION for PMDG
i have just bought a glass instument panel that a monitor can be displayed behind to show the instruments. my new pmdg 737ng 700/800 i got for xmas will size the respective windows to size and area i want them but the monitor is slightly too thin and the bottom glass display goes off the bottom of the screen
however wheni rotate the monitor lenthways you can fit them on but i cannnot get the movable unlockable panels in PMDG to rotate with my monitor. it doesn't look like this will owrk and i realy need to fit them on the panel this way up.
can anyone give me any tips about this - if it is possible that would be great!
(Hope everyone had a good christmas!)
thanks, geremy

You could try using the video card software and rotate the image 90 degrees. That should work for you.

If you use an Nvidia video card, just right click on your desktop and choose 'NVIDIA Control Panel' and then choose 'Display/Rotate Display'.

Panel problems
Hi Geremy.
Go to www.simviation.com
search for this zip file.
PDToot.zip
If you take a little time, read and understand it.
You will be able to open the aircraft panel.cfg file and resize the panels to fit your monitor.
Best of luck

i'm afraid its not a case of resizing the panels to fit my monitor. i have bought a frame that has pre cut out squeres that the EICAS will be shown through but i can only get the screen to cover this area by turning the monitor sideways (otherwise i will have a gap at the bottom of the cut out panel)
the problem is i cannot get the undocked panels from pmdg to rotate with screen sideways.
perhaps i didn't explain my situation very clearly...
more help??

Hi again Geremy
Sorry about the confusion Geremy.
I was looking at your problem from a whole different point of view.
It seems you have me stumped!
I'm going to think about it a bit and get back to you. Can't stand the thought
of not being able to turn panels sideways!
Hope I'm not up all night. LOL.
I just had an epiphany!
It seems you may just have to donate the current monitor to the wife and kids to play games on.
See how easy it is to earn brownie points!
Then when she thinks your such a nice guy go bye a monitor that fits the instrument panel, problem solved.
All kidding aside that may be the only answer Geremy.
I will continue to ponder.

Hi Geremy,
Isnt it the case that if you have your monitor physically turned on its side and then use your GPU settings to turn 90 deg then everything will appear the correct way up so you then dont need to rotate them anymore, just resize? Or am I still missing the problem ?
Cheers

in fact that could be a possibility. are the GPU settings on the control panel in windows XP (not familiar with this.) I think there may be a possibility of turning the whole perspective of the monitor so everything is displayed rotated with the monitor so it will be right way up - then i just resize in FS.
if you could just explain how to get and adjust the GPU settings i will give it a go!
however i dont need the monitor turning just yet because this is my primary (only!) pc that runs flight sim and where i configure all settings etc. so i hope it isn't a permanent measure and can be adjusted back at any time. i don't think i would manage sitting at the sim programming with my head permanently sideways getting the view straight from the rotated monitor view
thanks - you may have hit on something here!

Hi,
What Graphics card are you using?
If you are using an Nvidia card then right click on your desktop, you should see Nvidia Display as an option, take this and select the screen you have attached, this will pop a new window and in these options near the bottom there should be something called NV Rotate - this lets you rotate your screen at the click of a button.... You may need to install some later drivers if you dont see this and are using an NV card...
Cheers
Mike
