• 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.

Not smart enough, once again.

In January, I got a new W7 laptop. I'm trying to do everything on it, though FS is a bit of a bummer because of no graphics AA. It is a wide screen laptop. My first wide screen computer. I have a small display problem with AIFP. I posted this in the AIFP forum, but no luck.

This is what I see in the Collect Airports window:

There is supposed to be a button at the bottom of the window:

No matter what resolution, or DPI, or text size I use, I can't get that save button to show in landscape oreintation.

Anybody else see something like this?

BJ...

Although I've never used the program in question, I can't help but wonder if you need to select at least one of the FS check boxes...? I'm assuming the Save button is not selectable since there are no files to save in the window...

EDIT - ...or you can do exactly what Bill says and actually resolve your issue. I mistakenly thought you were having issues with the GUI and didn't actually read every word to know it was a window sizing issue... OOPS!

Try "grabbing" the top edge of the popup window and drag it downwards a bit, then shift the entire window up a bit. Repeat as needed until you can see the entire window.
 
Hi bobbyjack,

I'm pretty sure it's the screen resolution on your laptop / inability to scroll to the bottom of the 'collect airports' window. I can re-create the exact same problem as yours by lowering my second monitor resolution to 1280 x 768 and dragging the 'collect airports' window on to it. If I go a little lower to 1280 x 720, I get a message appear in the menu 'If your resolution is below 1024 x 768, some items may not fit on the screen'.

Hope this helps.

My screen resolution has always been 1366x768. I have tried all resolutions and the problem is the same. No problem with AIFP on three other computers. But they are not wide screen.

Sorry if I'm confusing you Bob... I'm saying that the AIFP 'collect airport data' window won't ever show the save button with a screen pixel height of 768 or less.

Just to double check, I ran AIFP and dragged the collect airport data window around both my monitors as I altered the resolution. In fact, I found that any setting at 800 pixels height or lower would not display the save data button.

I've seen your post on the AIFP forum, but perhaps Don may have a comment or two about the screen resolution limit of AIFP?
 
Thanks Dave.

I am a little slow. My max screen height is 768 and I do recall Don mentioning a limit. It didn't register with me then. I'm not at all used to this wide screen stuff.

Bob
 
I don't know that he did, but suppose Don wrote the program such that this dialog window has a fixed height of 800 pixels?

While it would work well on a 4:3 monitor with 1280x960 resolution, it sure wouldn't work with only 768 pixels height... :eek:
