Weird VC Glitch

I just downloaded and installed the Tom Ruth Tu-144 found here https://simviation.com/1/search?submit=1&keywords=tu-144&categoryId=&page=0&filename= "Tupolev TU-144 Complete Package V2" and got it to work right except for one issue; in the VC, there's a black bar on the bottom when I start the flight in the VC. When I launch it from the 2d cockpit, the bottom portion of the main panel is "stuck" in this bar. I've included a screenshot which hopefully illustrates the issue well enough. Is there a way to fix this?

Must be an FS9 portover

Open the Panel.cfg in notepad
In the [Window00] section you should find the line
render_3d_window=1
delete it and save

That should fix it
 
Alternative in panel.cfg...often the SIZE_Y co-ord is less...and shouldn't be...;)
It's usually at the end of the config.

[Default View]
X=0
Y=0
SIZE_X=8192
SIZE_Y=6144
 
I've had this plane for a while and while I haven't had this particular problem I did encounter a problem with the landing lights. On my first flight I opened the 2D panel to enable all gauges (on some planes the AB effects won't show unless you do this) but when I went to land I dropped the gear and when I flipped on the landing lights in nosed over into the ground. After a bit of test flying I found that it only happens if you open the main 2D panel. (Use of the spoiler key at all will also cause it to nose over as well, 2D panel opened or not.) I do like the landing/taxi light effects on this plane! Haven't figured out how everything is connected or how to fix it other than to not open the main 2D panel.
 
Is a reversed attitude indicator anything that could be easily fixed? The gauge goes down when the aircraft pitches up, and vice versa

Click to expand...
I believe that's a 'Russian thing'. Their 'horizon' remains fixed to the cockpit and the plane moves...not the western way of having the horizon follow reality and the plane silhouette is fixed to the cockpit...;)
 
Nah. I've flown a lot of different Russian birds on the sim before. This is an actual error. I'll post a screen shot tomorrow
 
Hopefully these screenshots demonstrate the odd behavior of the gauge
