While lamenting (briefly) that Piglets CV-10 did not work in FSX,there was a comment from Reddog that it did work in FSX SP1. With some FS models, they show fine in the menu, but come up in sim 'squished'. That is to say, the aspect ratio is screwed up, half a screen showing and the image distorted,one being the CV-10. am I missing a fix, or how do you fix that? Can it be fixed. Some are quite bad, a real silly putty effect, others are almost usable, only being an eighth squashed or so.

look in the panel folder
open the panel cfg
it should be similar to this

//--------------------------------------------------------
[Window00]
file=SBD-5 Dauntless_640.BMP
file_1024=SBD-5 Dauntless_1024.BMP
size_mm=640,480
window_size_ratio=1.000
position=4
visible=1
ident=MAIN_PANEL
sizeable=1
render_3d_window=1 delete this
window_size= 1.000, 1.000
window_pos= 0.000, 0.000

That should fix it

Now, does that fix the whole thing, or just the panel/cockpit, Henry?

the whole thing
you just have to check every panel that has that effect

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Cool! See what happens when you whine in public! Stuff happens.
Thanks Henry.I'm still an FSX noob, only a few months of smashing my head against it. Getting the CV-10 back online will really make my week. Heck, its been a great sim week, andI have'nt even unpacked the new Huey yet!

Another way to fix it is again in the panel cfg file at the very botom u will usually find this:
[Default View]
X=0
Y=0
SIZE_X=8191
SIZE_Y=6144//3586

changing the SIZE_Y= figure to 6144 will also fix it . This is what I did with the CV-10.

Henry, have I told you today that I love you? Hot damn tamalie;Ahab! It works.All of it!OV-10D, CV-10. The Lebed, Courier. AS Mariner.TSR2!!! Lightnings and Canberra's and Canso's,OH MY! This means I get back all my Alpha stuff that was squished.
Reddog, thanks for planting the bug.I've have been looking all over the place for a fix for that. I've figured that if I can get it to show in the menu, there should be a way to get it to display properly.
Gentlemen. You. Are. Gods! Bon temps!
