Hi everybody,Does someone knows the maximum size of a frame for a cab control ?I have a 750 x 572 bitmap and i have 5 by 2 frames. But the control don't appear in the sim (and in the editor too !). If i divide it in 3 parts it's working perfectly.I really need to use such big images, it's for a steam engine throtle. Have you got an idea, or a solution ?Big big thanks in advance !Lionel (France)

RE: Maximum control size

256x256 pixels. If either the x or y dimension is larger, it just won't appear. In your case, it looks like each frame is 150x286 pixels. The 286 pixels is the source of the problem. Unfortunately, there is no solution other than resizing the image. I know. I've had many frustrating hours with things that didn't show up until I realized what the problem was. Hopefully this will be fixed in MSTS2.
