FsPassengers and the Mini Panel

[codee66]

Hello, I've started to notice a minor issue that occurs only while in an FsPassengers flight. Normally when you press "w" it cycles the 2D panel down to the Mini Panel,
which is what I always use while landing, but it seems that when I have an active FsPassenger flight the mini panel won't display, instead I just get a small popup of the
PFD above the normal 2D panel. http://i.imgur.com/0qX23M2.jpg I've tried changing the command for the mini panel but it still does the same thing. Is there any
way to fix this?

Hi Codee, are you using a 32 bit operating system? If so, this may be the result of not being able to access enough windows. There is a limit. In the
pic I do see the mini display with the pop up PFD. You are saying that it no longer happens. Try accessing the mini display via the FsP menu or short
cut key....not W.

Thanks for the rely Joe... I'm not having any issues with the
FSP mini display showing up. That's working fine. The issue
I'm having is with the 2d panel of the plane. When you press
W it is supposed to remove mist of the panel leaving only the
PFD and 1 or 2 more instruments, and it's called the mini
display which makes it a lot easier to see on approach. The
reason I'm posting it here, is the only time that it doesn't give
me the mini panel is when I'm in an FsP flight, so I'm
wondering if I'm the only one.

To answer your questions yes I have Windows 8.1 32bit.

Seems to me that you are limited as to the number of windows you can access with the 32 bit application.

You are absolutely right. I tested it out by starting a new FSPassengers flight, I closed the FSP mini display and tried to press "w" and the mini panel came up just fine.
Thank you so much!

Maybe it's time to upgrade to 64 bit?

By the way, can you reduce the size of the screenshot so that it can fit on the page?

[codee66]

Not sure how to reduce the size, but I could remove it if
that's better?

You can download a free program called irfanview to resize any picture,etc. You can remove the screenshot if you want but it isn't necessary.
I figured you could resize it to fit the page better. Of course you would have to remove the large one first and replace it with the smaller one
