What are the model names of your Mac notebook and Windows laptop?

And what operating systems are running on them?

Running the program on Mac didn't work (system requirements weren't met), so I downloaded it on my other laptop running windows and it works perfectly other than the scroll bar issue. I can't see the options you mentioned on the position page, and I remember running into this problem with the program in the school house (desktop computer) when I got my 747 type rating and a buddy of mine fixed it somehow and I'm trying to reach out to him to figure what he did.

Ok... whatever I did before - I didn't understand a single bit of it. Now I'm struggling getting back there and export a test livery which doesn't glow in the night.
These are the settings I used:


I'm using the paintkit provided by FAIB:

Does anyone here have some experience with either the DDS issue mentioned before and/or with the paint kit?
I tried to find some hints how to properly configure the Nvidia DDS plugin for Photoshop, unfortunately I didn't find anything helpful so far.

Any help/links are appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

Cheers

Yoshi

I can just see there's more information on some of the instructors pages ...

On the Position page, at the bottom right, below "Aircraft position", there are edit fields for TAS, Hdg, Alt. Can you see them? They are within the 800 pixel range. If you can't see them, your laptop must be a very old model. You asked in another thread about starting PSX on your Macbook. Does that work now?

Thank you Alex and Hardy for your guidance. My NG FMC is now loading like I was hoping for.

800 pixels vertical is a hard-coded PSX limitation that you cannot change. However you may be able to change the resolution of your display, if only to show that this is the limitation. Few notebook/laptop computers have just 800 pixels vertical nowadays, so I guess you run the computer in a lower resolution than it is capable of.

I can just see there's more information on some of the instructors pages, but it won't let me scroll down to see it, because there's no scroll bar. So it does look cropped. I'm not sure if 800 is too high or not. What options do I have to change it?

Yes I think so either, but I can not find a key binding to lock the view... do you have a hint ?

That makes perfect sense... I do not have the same issue on my Mac. Thanks!

PS- the email I mentioned was hopefully asking for a replacement for the annual March purchase/support opportunity... I look forward to purchasing something each year to ensure the revenue stream and resulting genius output continues:).
