Virtual Panel 2.2 Bug

Postby clublights » 27 Aug 2013, 11:26

If you have a second monitor attached ( like to a laptop for example) and move the virtual panel to it then shut down the sim
when you relaunch the virtual panel will stay on the second monitor even if it is not attached.
restarting, changing video settings nothing will bring it back to the one and only monitor.

I had to hook up a second monitor to get it back to the main screen.

Hopefully this is already fixed in V7 / whatever the new virtual panel version is.

You can control application windows by going to Tools/Switch Task. For any running applications there are buttons to move screen, center and close.

Ok I figured out how to do it on windows 8 ( with a mac in bootcamp too )


Use the windows Key ( or command key on a mac keyboard) and the left or right arrow tht will bring it back to the main screen

Tho this trick works...


I'd still call it a bug that the Virtual panel opens on a non existent screen .

But at least I now how to fix it if it happens to me again.

Ok, I assumed you were talking about a console. In my experience this is normal behaviour in Windows and I would imagine is beyond Avolites control. In Windows 7 I use an application called 'Montior Switch' which allows you to right-click on the taskbar thumbnail preview and select which monitor you would like the application to move to.
