Aircraft ICON Size Reduction

[andrewbutler]

Hello All,

I have a 5400 unit and have recently started using Airmate. Being a smaller screen, what is the best method to reduce the size of the standard yellow aircraft icon? It is relatively large compared with the available screen real estate and I really don't need it to be as big as it is.

Thank you for your help.

Best regards,

Andrew,
Export the airplane.png image to your EFIS USB stick from the SET --> MORE --> CAL (hold2s) --> Admin Settings --> Transfer Files --> Aircraft Image --> SAVE page.

Plug the stick into a computer and you can edit the file. If you are on PC I recommend https://getpaint.net/download.html

The file MUST remain 128x128 pixels, do not just resize the entire image to try to make the icon smaller. The background is, and must remain, a transparency, so you can resize the airplane within the image box and have a larger transparent area around it, which will achive your stated goal. Save the image and then push it back to the EFIS from the
SET --> MORE --> CAL (hold2s) --> Admin Settings --> Transfer Files --> Aircraft Image --> REST page.

Brilliant Jonathan. Thank you!

I have another query on nuisance "Traffic" audio warnings. I'll start a separate thread on that.
