Hello Stefanh,
welcome to the FSCaptain forum. This is a problem that appears infrequently for a small number of users. To my knowledge, we have never been able to reproduce it. However, if I recall correctly, it may have to do with locale settings. Hence, if you switch your glopbal Windows settings to English-US, that may help.
Travis visits the forum regularly every 2-3 days and may have more information on this. Until then, I would suggest to try the temporary fix.
Best regards,
Peter

good day peter.
thank you for the replay. i started thinking that no1 is going to help me. i was just about to look for a email to the support.
i have no idea what the transparent fix is. i will google it. but i will also try what you said about the global settings. will let u know how that went.

Hello again, Stefanh,
no worries, we are here to help. However, I typically login once every day, so give us 24 hours to reply to your request. I mentioned the temporary fix because you previously wrote that you found one. However, apart from changing global Windows language settings and also play with the screen resolution, I am not aware of anything that has helped other users in the past. As I said, once Travis is available, he may provide more ideas.
Best regards,
Peter

Hi,
I have a similar problem with SimStarter where I also missed the bottom part.
The (temporary) fix I use is to put the windows taskbar at the right hand side instead of the bottom.
Just an idea ...

takes me to long just to get a flight going.

tempfix is not working leka.

Sorry, I've had sporadic PC problems for the last few weeks. Everything's running okay, and then... the PC stops without a whimper. I've tried reseating RAM, and rebooting the power supply, etc. just to get going again.

Hello Stefanh,
I've no idea what causes this for some Captains, and not for others. It's not just a matter of "fixing" this... I can't get the problem to manifest itself for me.
If you're still around... what's your screen resolution? I run 1920x1080 with no problems, but perhaps a higher resolution might trigger something I'm not aware of.
Could you possibly post a full-screen screenshot with the Admin? The clipped screenshot you posted is 873x768. On my system, the Admin's screen size is 864x962. Give or take a pixel either way....
Best regards,
|

Hello Stefan, I really had no idea that anyone was trying to run FSCaptain in a lower resolution than mine....  We are currently working on releasing 1.8.3 Beta 1... but thereafter I will ensure that we specify a system requirement for the Administrator for the vertical size. Please let us know of any other issues that you may encounter. Best regards, |

Just wanted to add that having started investigating FSCaptain demo version (note request for help with weather injection in another - my first! - post) I too have this issue. On two machines - one running Windows 10, the other WinXP. Screen resolution changes make no difference. The XP computer is multi-monitor, so I can just move the Admin window up and down as required. This is a minor annoyance. Windows 10 - (single monitor) the program is unuseable I'm afraid..... Surely the answer to this is to make the admin window re-sizeable, which is pretty much what you can do with every other window you choose to open on a PC?
Regards,
AW

Hi Lissart,
The original FSCaptain Administrator was designed to be visible within FS9, so it was made to use "Property Pages" which cannot be resized.
It would require a complete rewrite to be updated as what we know to be a regular desktop application, and I don't have the bandwidth / time to do that as well as to update the core aspects of FSCaptain - sorry!
Best,
