Main Menu

Setting to disable the backup control menu?

I would like to disable the menu that pops up when you hover the mouse over the upper left corner of the flight deck frame (page 21 in the Operations Manual).

Is there a setting for this? I couldn't find one in the manual or config file, but maybe there's an undocumented one or maybe I just didn't see it.

Since I use a fixed layout (and have a keyboard available) I don't need this menu, and since I have four PSX instances on a single screen there's many places where my mouse triggers it.

There's no setting for this.

Would it work for you if you were to move the entire PSX frame 50 pixels to the left beyond the left monitor edge and increase the width of the PSX frame by 50 pixels so that the visible width remains the same?

Thanks for the suggestion, I hadn't thought of that.

But I don't think it will work, because I have four windowless PSX windows that completely covers my main 27" instrument display.

And the most problematic one is the "lower right" PSX window whose menu "popup zone" is in the middle of the physical display. If I make that window wider, I need to hide it below (and keep it below even when clicked) the window to its left.

It's not urgent, just a minor annoyance. Consider it a feature request for a future version.

Thanks Hardy,

I couldn't ask for better support. You're one of the best features in PSX. :)
