Funny GUI Graphics windows behavior on Xplane/Windows 10

[antonioelias]

This is more of a nuisance than a problem, but I wonder if others have seen this behavior:

I have two large (55″) 4K-capable (4096 by 2160) monitors in my system. The one that displays the Xplane main window is set to 1920×1080 to help wit the frame rate. The other is Xplane-disabled and I use it to develop AirManager instruments, start Xplane and CLS2SIM, etc. and is set to 4096×2160. Also, on this monitor (which is the Windows “Main” display) I have the “size of text, etc.” set to 150% so I can see read the application windows better.

With this setup, if I start CLS2SIM *BEFORE* starting Xplane, both the main and the profile manager windows respond to the 150% enlargement, so the text is nice and large. But the moment Xplane starts both CLS2SIM windows revert to default (100%) enlargement which makes the text small and difficult to read. And if I start CLS2SIM with Xplane running, then the CLS2SIM GUI windows start with the smaller text.

As I said, this is more of a nuisance than a problem, but I wonder if anyone has a clue as to what may be happening.

Thanks,

I reported this to Brunner (Diego) in the part and had a him confirm this issue.

He said also told him me that it’ll take a while before it’s fixed…if it ever will be.

Reason for this IIRC is the complete UI needs to be rebuilt.

Thanks, Webmaximus! I have bigger problems to solve (can’t get the FFB yoke and the various autopilots to cooperate) but it’s to early in my learning curve to suspect it’s due to anything other than my ignorance. If I end up in a dead end, I will ask for help!
