• Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:

    • Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
    • Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
    • Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
    • Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
    • Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
    • Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.

    Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.

    By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

Forcing Size and Position of Standard FSX Instrument Panel Items

Hi Gauge Gurus,

I am running FSX in windowed mode using 2 monitors in an extended desktop fashion (ie the 2nd monitor just makes my desktop bigger). On the primary monitor I have the main FSX window and on the extended monitor I am displaying the G1000 PFD and the Backup Gauges (both separate windows). I drag these over after undocking them and resize and reposition them. My problem is that when I End Flight or Exit FSX my position and size are lost on restart. It will still display the windows on the extended monitor but in the upper left corner and resized. Does anyone know of a way to force the position and size of these extra windows between flights? I tried saving everything I could; flight, configuration but to no avail. I am familiar with the SimConnect SDK and can program but I don't wish to create gauges just control the exisiting ones. Any insight would be greatly appreciated and quick, I'd like to get this working for FANCON 2007. Thanks!!

OK, I can do what I want using the windows FindWindow() and MoveWindow() functions. But if anyone knows some file that can be modified to produce the same results that would be even better.
