Hi,

"landscape" mode only works for PS and PDF output, and not X11 output.

You are choosing a map that is going to be very long and skinny, so even with the maximization, it's going to be hard to see.
You may want to set res@mpMin/MaxLonF to values other than -180 and 180, which is the default.

You didn't say what lat/lon range "p3" has, but I'm assuming it has lat/lon coordinate arrays attached to it? If so, you could use those values to set the map limits:

   res@mpMinLonF = min(p3&lon) ; May need to change to get correct "lon" dimension name.
   res@mpMaxLonF = max(p3&lon)
