Unfortuanetely, there is no way that I know of with the program to have the
panel start at your preferred size. I have the same problem, run certain
panels on my secondary monitor, and
have to manually move them and resize them each time I start a new or saved
flight. I was hoping SP2 might address this, but it did not.
I can't answer on #2 as I don't have any experience with the missions.
As far as autostart a presaved flight, I would imagine you would need to
check the " make this the default" when you save it.
