Hello,

Does putting newline characters '\n' at the desired break points solve the issue?

Try putting them after the last character where each row ends in your screenshot.

Hello,

Is this a question regarding making your own text messages using SimConnect or modifying how a third party's application is displaying text? If it concerns third party content then this text is defined in their executable and you will not be able to modify it.

Hello Rob


Thanks for coming back to me, my question is regarding that displaying the text position form P3D, I think it has nothing to do with the third party content, as you know that P3D is diplaying default txt as a long line, so my question is , is it possible to make the position of the txt line like my printscreen as default instead of as a line above the screen. again thanks

When this text appears you can right click on it and undock the view displaying it. You can then resize this window and dock it again in the application. As far as actual formatting of text that is up to the developer making these calls to print to the screen.

Okay Rob thanks for your time, in fact that is what I have done so far, it seem that I need to do that everytime I open P3D, I thought that it is possible to edit somewhere to make the position of the the text like in my printscreen as default position, again thanks for your time ;-)
