My brain cells are running out of steam this afternoon so I thought I'd post
this to the list to see if anyone has a quick answer or suggestion.
Here's the situation. I am working on setting up a flight simulator with a
cockpit enclosure and physical cockpit controls. The display consists of
one computer with a single video card driving a single 3840x1024 resolution
window. The monitor is a "matrox triplehead 2 go" box which feeds takes the
3840x1024 display in and feeds 3 1280x1024 displays out. This particular
cockpit hardware does not have a physical wet compass, so I would like to
use 2d instrument to simulate this.
I have done this before on a 1280x1024 display and it worked well. What is
throwing me off here is the extra wide 3840x1024 display. Let's say I want
the instrument to be in the center of the middle screen ... this means I
want to position it at x = 1920. However, if I move the instrument past x =
1024 it gets clipped and not drawn. In fact if I put it at 1024, I see the
left half of the instrument and not the right.
I've tried to specify that my panel width is 3840 <w>3840</w> and height is
1024, but that seems to have no affect on the problem.
Can anyone out there throw me a hint or a suggestion to try or a place to
look in the code? I haven't spotted any 1024 width restrictions on the 2d
panels, but it's been so long since I've looked at this particular code that
I could easily be missing something somewhere. I hate to say I'm desperate,
but I'm getting close to it! :-)
Thanks,
Curt.
