Differing Monitors and PFD / MFD setup

THOSE WITH 9" MONITOR EXPERIENCE!

HELP!!!!!

I am having trouble adjusting backup instruments on the 9" screen. The round instruments end up oval - narrower at the 90-270 degree point. As one can only increase (i) or reduce (r) the size. One cannot pull or push sides as with Jet45 or windows.

Has anyone faced this issue?

Is Dave Ault still part of Hangar45? Does anyone "own" these files?

Hey Dave,

I just down loaded the HSI onto my work desktop machine to refresh myself with the gauges.  You are correct, you can only increase or decrease but not push or pull sides like other windows.

The issue is your aspect ratio for the 9 inch monitor is set wrong.  Once you find the correct ratio which should be 16:9, you will find your gauges will square up.

Dave Ault is the creator of the gauges and no one owns them but we all use them.  If you notice, he included 100% of the source code and graphics artwork so that if in the future (like now) someone wants to refine the gauges or make useful changes, we can.  However, to this date it has not been necessary.

As long as you have your gauges in a folder somewhere that your computer agrees with, (some trial and error may be necessary to find that place) and as long as you have a graphics driver that the gauges agree with, they seem to work fine.  The only other issue you might run into once you get them square is they may drop and that comes down to a networking issue with Wideclient.
