#106 2D panel y-offset changes aspect-ratio
Originally created by: gijsrooy

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Launch a 2D panel equipped plane, like the C-172P.
2. Open the 2D panel (Shift-P).
3. Move the panel around with F5, F6, F8 and F9 or by editing the
sim/panel/x-offset and y-offset properties.
What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
The panel should (and does) move over the screen. However,
the "background" view changes its aspect ratio. This is best noticeable
with a large x/y-offset.

Seems to be y-offset specific. No such behaviour is noticed when changing the x-offset. The change in aspect-ratio is very noticeable on the instruments at this picture (http://img258.imageshack.us/img258/7255/fgfsscreen033.png).
That is with Git from December 6.
Summary: 2D panel y-offset changes aspect-ratio

"avoid expiring external links, e.g. imageshack, pastebin etc" :-)
The screen shot on imageshack is gone now... :-(

Hm, wasn't December the time that we reached our upload-limit? :)
As you can see on the pictures, moving the 2D panel (left bottom on first pic) up/down changes the aspect-ratio of the background/main view. Moving it left/right does not show that behaviour.
This is also observed on "ordinary" 2D panels, like the c172p' default.

That's a bug of the 747. The 747-400 uses a modern "virtual-cockpit" - so it's main panel isn't 2D. But it didn't enable "/sim/virtual-cockpit" - hence it's main panel is treated as a 2D panel...

Ok, the same issue affects real 2D cockpits, like "c172p-2dpanel" - which of course does not enable "virtual-cockpit". Since this switch won't be enabled for such cockpits, it seems the switch is no longer necessary / should always be enabled.
=> Remove the code changing aspect-ratio - doesn't seem to make sense for OSG:
