FSUIPC Splash Screen

[pck42]

Hi,

When opening msfs 2020 using FSUiPC I get the message "FSUIPC is preparing the"  The word "cabin" is missing. ???

Strange... is the window not like this image (without the added text), or is it cropped: 

The 'Preparing the cabin...' text is superimposed on this. It really isn't a problem if the full text is not displayed. just ignore...

Such issues have previously been reported and I have adjusted, and this is the first report on this for several years. It is not worth me changing this again on one report, as it may affect more users.

Hmm, strange. The splash-screen size/position is controlled by the following in the MSFS.bat file (under your FSUIPC7 installation folder), and should be sized/positioned to your screen size:

            if (w == 0) w = screen.width / 2;
            if (h == 0) h = screen.height / 2;
            window.resizeTo(w, h);
            window.moveTo(screen.width / 2 - w / 2, screen.height / 2 - h / 2);

You could try manually setting a size instead, on lines 15 and 16 of the same file:

Quote

:: width or height = 0 will set splash image to half your screen size
set /a width = 0
set /a height = 0

Or maybe the image is being cropped to that size rather than reduced, I will take a look when I have more time....

You could also move the text further to the left, by changing this on line 73 (e.g. try 50%😞

                    left: 55%;
