Hi Dave, same here. But it is ok, if I start with 4:3 window and maximize it when fg runs (my normal start procedure). Maik dave perry schrieb am 06.01.2008 05:08: Maik Justus wrote: Hi, Maik Justus schrieb am 26.12.2007 20:38: Hi Syd, what's about an algorithm, which checks

Hi Arvid, maybe your pixels are not of square size? If yes: can you look to /sim/current-view/aspect-ratio-multiplier? If it is not 1, then we need to scale 47.5 with this factor (to get a larger fov). Thank you very much, Maik AnMaster schrieb am 05.01.2008 11:40: -BEGIN PGP SIGNED

Hi All I love the new changes Stuart did, the reset button is great. Is there still anyway to add a text field? EG When I try to adjust fwd/back. Move the slider 1/2 a degree and you move 1m is distance. Anyway to fine tune that. Where you can enter the value 1.005m instead of 1.004m ??? Thanks
