@ PW

I believe this may have been suggested before...but

We sure could use an elevator scroll bar on the 'Intelligence Report' page for the 'Opposing Squadrons' and 'Friendly Squadrons' tabs. I am flying my RoF sim on a Samsung B2230 Wide Flat Panel monitor with a screen resolution set to 1920x1080. There seems to be more information being written below the bottom of my maxed out 'Intelligence Report' page window.

Maybe this can be corrected by formatting the page with three columns instead of two to display a complete list of squadrons.

I've got a minor glitch with the Top Aces screen. The hot spot for the 'OK' button seems to be overlapped by the bottom listed Ace. The overall spacing on the board seems a little odd as well. I've tried changing the font size but it has no effect, each line of text seems to have multiple lines between them.



Any ideas?

Check your Configuration page Chalkboard Font (item 2) value. It is 'Freestyle Script' in my default setup. Also the Chalkboard Font Size (item 5) is set to '30' in my default. It might be that you do not have that 'Freestyle Script' font in your type listing and the O/S is substituting plain old 'Arial' font instead. Look in you word processor font list to be sure. The multiple spacing appears to be a display formatting issue. Change the font to a smaller one and reduce the font size and see what happens.

Tried all that mate. The font I use is a chalkboard font which I prefer. Different font sizes have no effect. Out of interest, what does your screen look like?

Here's mine with the default font set to size 12 in the configuration menu:

My Squadron page is fine also, it's my Top Aces page that is the problem. How is yours?

Whiskey,
Ive just checked my own squadron and top aces pages and they appear to be normal(spacing,etc.).The only thing i noticed was the bottom ace,(Billy Bishop) is slightly overlapping the,"OK", button but this happened in the last version also.

Kemal,

Thats the issue I'm talking about. The bottom ace overlaps the 'OK' hotspot which renders the OK button useless to me - I have to close the window using the top right x but this then also closes the program altogether.

It's no big deal, just thought I'd mention it that's all.

Cheers,

WB.

OOPS, I apologize...NOT the Squadron page. That's what I get for leaping before I look. lol. I will check my Top Aces page when I return home from work this afternoon.

The only complaint I have is the Intelligence page has information that runs off the bottom of the Opposing Squadrons tab and the Friendly Squadrons tab windows on the fully maximized screen and there is no vertical scroll bar to bring the hidden/missing info into view.

Thanks Olpaint for posting that. There must be a glitch somewhere, I thought it might be my system but at least one other has the same problem. Perhaps PW can shed some light on it?

open the config file in excel

Try 'Import' (as text) rather than 'Open' (as file) Wodin?

Whiskey: try a different font in the configs - not just font size but a different font altogether.

Things work great for some and not so well for others, which is why I made it configurable. I got a newcomputer and thescriptfont dowesn't even work on my box anymore - however, it is still readable.

Good luck. Send me a PM if you still have trouble.

Hi guys,
I think I'm going blind...I can't find ver 7.1 on WoH. The only one I see is ver. 6.1
Can someone post the link to the new version?
Thanks
