[RESOLVED] How set/configure default position of startup screen permanently

[Crj700Lutz]

Hi,
I have a 2 projector + 1 TFT Setup.
Whenever I start up P3D or set a new Scenario I would like to see that Screen/window showing up on the TFT rather than on one of the projectors. Is there a way to configure this?
Thanks a lot

Hello,

Yes, you will have to modify the UISettings.xml file in "%appdata%\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v4". In the "Views.Startup.ScenarioStartup" section change "IsLoadEnabled" and "IsSaveEnabled" both to true. This UI will then save and load its position. You can manually change "Left" and "Top" values in this file as well.

We attempt to center this window by default based on where the application is located. If you want to make manual changes you can modify the Views.AlertBox.P3DAlertBox section in the UISettings.xml file.

What would I have to change in order for it to work. I recall changing some figures and it would always default back to its original size?

I mentioned a couple entries in my first reply. Does changing those have any effect?

I am not sure, because I just changed the "needscenter" to true and it reverted to false and not sure. Also the numbers I try changes back to default. I was asking what do I to change or what should I change in what line to in order to see some effect. I know that there is a fullscreen state and a windowed state and not sure which ones I am to change. I run fullscreen P3D, but when I open it its in windowed mode. At the very least, what are your numbers in this section for you?
