Re: SimConnect_Text Dialog sizing in P3D 3.2 (Scaleform)

The menu dailog for AICarriers displays 10 items as standard, without having to resize the window, so it must be possible.

Annoyingly, you can't select line 10 using the keyboard though, and have to use the mouse!

Re: A detailed question for everyone that's able to "manually" install aircraft

You don't need the [Trusted] section at all in P3d. LM removed the need to "trust" gauges & dll's.
As for the 767 & Shuttle, I own the 767 but haven't tried it in P3d, so can't help there.

Re: P3D3.1 Activations

Is the activation count reset if you only uninstall the client, or do you need to uninstall the whole setup?

Re: V3 crash when trying to save flight

That what I did, then added them back a batch at a time & tested. Took quite a while to narrow it down!

Re: V3 crash when trying to save flight

I had this also. It turned out to be a corrupt entry in the aircraft.cfg one of my AI aircraft. The aircraft in question wasn't even used in any flightplans, but once the entry was corrected, I could save and load flights.

Re: Weird startup and menu issues

I also had the same issue with the scenario load/save buttons on the startup screen. After much investigation it turned out to be a corrupt entry in the aircraft.cfg of one of my add-on AI aircraft. Quite why that would cause the problem, I have no idea, but once I rectified the entry it's been fine...

Re: Refresh aircraft after testing

There is a "Reload User Object" command, but it doesn't have a key command assigned by default.

Could be. It does make sense if the env map isn't getting loaded.

@jostytosy: you're welcome to use my images, but be aware they are using a custom envmap, not the default one.
