FMC Display size - Raspberry Pi4

Question

Hello there, trying to configure the FMC display on the Rasp Pi 4. - To test the display i am using an Default - X Plane -  737

Display Size - 5 Inch , Resolution - 800*480 . The Core program is on the Pi and the FMC module has been loaded into the modules folder. I just cant get the display to scale and fill the screen, I read the posts on the forum and changed the Screen width settings, by doing that i was able to get the full FMC panel ( Screen + Keyboard ) on the display but there after i am unable to scale up the FMC display to fill the screen, please find below the screenshots. kindly do advise.

Screen_vertical = 250, Fullscreen = 1 , Screen_horizontal = 250 , Fit_Screen = 0 , Last Module = fms_module.sim

Hi Ajay,

Please see this page. You can set Screen_Horizontal and Screen_Vertical to your display's real dimensions (in millimeters) to get the module to display in its real size, or just change these to other values to see what suits your needs. Try changing just one of the values and see how it will scale the module by this dimension.

Got it perfectly scaled up and operational, thanks a lot..

Any tips on how i can get the HCSCI panel to bootup along with the Rasp Pi4, I read the links you have provided and i am still trying them out. Does the HCSCI_Panel_Rpi - file have any "file extension" that i would need to add to the script in order to boot along with the OS  ? like ( .py, .tar .gz )

Running the Rasp Pi OS with the panel folder and module placed on the Desktop.
