I have the 707-320 and when making the screen smaller fsx crashes. It only occurs when when im in the 2D cockpit. When viewing the plane externally its fine. I dont know what the problem is I have tried lowering the screen resolution but same thing if anyone knows anything please let me know. BTW im not minimizing to task bar just making the screen smaller.

This´s the first such report (so far as I can recall) .... over the 6 years during which we´ve offered these B707 panels.
What screen resolution are you trying to reduce too ?
On my old 19 inch CRT monitor, and in FS2004 running within WINDOWS XP PRO, I run these panels in Full Screen, or other mode, and at a resolution of 1280X1024X32 .... without any problems at all.
On our more modern wide/flat screen monitor, and in FS2004 running within WINDOWS XP PRO, I run these panels in Full Screen, or other mode, and at a resolution of 1440X900X32 .... again without any problems at all.
My HJG colleague (Camilo LUENGAS ) is using all of these same panels in FS2004 running within WINDOWS 7, and in Full Screen, or other mode .... but .... I´m not certain at what resolution .... only he´s not experiencing any problems at all either.
An odd, or "less" than what might be considered normal, resolution "may" be the cause of your problems. The stability of ome panels can be "SENSITIVE" to odd/reduced screen size/resolutions .... but .... I´m not sure if that applies to any of our B707 panels.
AGAIN .... I´don´t recall, ever, hearing of such a problem in regard to any of these B707 panels.

In my haste to reply .... I´ve just realised you were talking about these panels in FSX .... SO .... I´ve moved you´re query to this/our FSX SUPPORT forum page.
All the same .... these B707 panels do work in FSX too .... so long as they´re installed correctly and the supplied FSX specific PANEL.CFG file is activated .... SO .... you do need to check that this´s been done properly.
ONCE AGAIN .... there shouldn´t be any problem, but, using a non-standard/odd screen size/resultion "might" result in a problem on some PC´s .... even though I´ve never heard of such, before, in regard to any of these B707 panels.

I use FSX and everything works fine I just cant change the screen. For instance if im in window mode and switch to full screen FSX crashes or in minimized windowed screen and go to maximized screen it crashes. I have a hd wide screen monitor from LG i have messed with different resolutions but same thing over and over but other than that this a great plane and I love flying it.

Read more: tonymadgehjg.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=questionsonfsxandhjg&action=post&thread=5229&page=1#ixzz1mpg5FhEiAgain .... some panels can be "sensitive" to particular FS screen resolutions .... but .... as stated earlier/above .... I´ve never heard of, or experienced, such an issue (that I can immediately recall) in regard to any of these B707 panels .... as is/will be evident when searching within both this FSX SUPPORT as well as the BOEING AIRCRAFT SUPPORT (FS2004) forum pages. Personally .... and if you can fly these panels OK, as you´ve implied is the case .... then I´d be inclined to "not try and minimize your screen/resolution" and just stick with that which you know works best on your system. Dan (our FSX comentator) might have a few more suggestions to offer .... but .... not being an FSX myself the above is the best advice I can provide you with. Mark C BOG/CO |

I would recognize this as either a Graphic card issue (not powerful enough), old version of graphic drivers, trying to run FSX in a mode that your current equipment is not able to run.....
Any of these issues could be the one, but in order to rule something out, you need to specify the type of system you are running, and which settings you are trying to run FSX with. And please also state if HJG-aircraft are the only ones you are having problems with....

My system is
Intel Q6600 2.40 Ghz
OCZ 6GB RAM
ATI 5830 1GB
Win 7 Premium
FSX Acceleration Pack
FSX Booster
All the drivers for the graphics card are updated to the latest specs also FSX booster
I recently installed the DC-8-61 and it works fine with the screen switching i mentioned above so i don't know what the problem could be im no programing guru. I completely understand how rare this is for you guys but thanks for taking time to look at my issue. Its FSX anything and everything can go wrong lol.

How many CPU's do you have, and are you running 32Bits og 64 bit windows... (If you have 6 GB RAM I would highly recommend you running 64bit, or you'll have 2 GB of no use ....)
Anyway FSX is a 32bit program, so that in it self should not be your problem...
In general it is NOT a good idea switchin between windowed and full screen mode... The main difference is that running in fullscreen allocates all the computers graphic to the running program, and in windowed mode, the graphics memory are shared between other programs on the computer, and that is in general not a good idea. Even that when running in windowed mode, the windows resolution is smaller than in full screen mode, and as such it shouldn't inflict so much strain on the GPU. But the fact that all things must share the same GPU, and knowing that FS (in general, not only FSX) is a "graphic-hog" you would be best off by running FS in full-screen. Should you really need to "step out" for a moment, pause FS, and then window or TAB -out.....
