Bottom of the screen is blank which makes the view smaller, also I can not pull the view down to fit the screen. How can I change this to a view that is fitting all the screen. What do I do in the cfg file and ofher files of the aircraft.

But it carries 6 Pax instead of 10 Pax in Cessna and still not popular. And also, Airbus and Boeing just shadow above Tupolev and Antonov.. why?
