Just posted this over at the Forgotten Skies forums. What does your setup look like?

I don't have rudder pedals...or an X52 , but my computer setup is a mess right now after installing a new CPU and motherboard. The inside of my case looks like a boom went off with all the cables strung all over the place. I envy your clean setup . I tried printing out the map for our campaign but it won't let me strech it, even in landscape mode so if you can tell me how you did it, I would appreciate it.

Molder's check out these maps, I made them couple month's ago. They are formatted to print on A(letter) size paper. Some of the airfields directions are off, but are close. Italy Maps

You have a pretty nice setup there. Let's just say that mine looks like crap!

Specter, I finally took a look at the maps, do I simply print them while in Paint or do I drag them to a document to print ?

I'm not sure how you'd do it in paint, you might have to use microsoft imager (I think that's what it is called) They are laid out to print on 2 A size (8.5x11) in landscape at 300 dpi. I used photoshop. I'll check when I get home to see if its possible with a stock windows app.
I have the grayscale ones already as pdf's on my computer at home, I could email them to you if you don't want to hassle with it. Those should print straight from acrobat (I haven't tested though).

You can use paint: - File->Page Setup
- Orientation: Landscape
- Margins you can play with, it depends on your printer (I can go as small as .25 inch margins on my printer)
- Scaling: Select the Fit To radio button
- Make sure it is 1 by 1 pages
Click ok then try to print, it should fill out the entire page.

Wierd, I can't click on the landscape button no matter what option I choose I'll try it in Word after this.
