Railworks Opening Screen

Unread postby miata54 » Sat Aug 27, 2011 7:14 am

Hi All:

Now I know this is nitpicking, but being a symmetrical guy and knowing that it can be done in MS Flight Simulator, does anyone know where to find the X,Y coordinates in Railworks2 so that the opening screen is centered on your monitors screen and not off to the left hand side after you click on the RW icon? Yes, I can drag it to the center but it would be nice to have it open in the center.

Thx

Chris

My Railworks launch screen opens in a different place every time. !*don-know!*

Maybe someone else knows the answer to your question, and BTW, *&!welcome!&*

No clue. Mine always opens on my left most monitor. Never cared before. It is just a launch window.

This is quite interesting (at least to me-yeah I know I've probably got too much time on my hands while awaiting Irene's arrival) in that we all seem to have this screen appear in different positions on our desktops. Just curious what the controlling factor is which is determining the X,Y coordinates and where the elusive file can be found. !*don-know!* !*roll-laugh*!

What bugs me is that this is so easy to fix. If you register the app with the OS (no we are not talking about COM registration) then its handled for you automatically.

Railworks appears in a different position on my desktop, every time I open it. I've always wondered why it does that.
The word?..The word is no. I am, therefore, going anyway..

You made a statement that it is so easy, just explain what you do to resolve the issue.
