Combined Clearance Menu Size at higher screen resolutions

Fellsider

Hi,
Does anyone know how to increase the size of the Combined Clearance Menu, (CCM), when you click on a plane to adjust its altitude/speed/fix destination etc.

Everything else can be resized in the "preferences" or dragged larger with the mouse including the accompanying visual vertical graph that shows other planes, but not the panel containing the info concerning that plane (Speed, direction, fix/hold destination etc, (also the panel containing the name of the sector and QNH/time of day etc. cannot be adjusted either).
The CCM is absolutely tiny and difficult to read on my monitor at that resolution and cannot be "dragged" to a larger and more readable size, it is the only menu that can't and it is probably the most important if inputting messages to pilots.

On this new computer the display resolution is 3840 x 2160 (recommended) for my display.
I have to change my resolution to 1920 x 1080, (which was my old computer resolution.) every time I run the program or else I cannot read the Combined Clearance Menu because it is to tiny.

If I try to use the Compatibility option on the properties tab I only have the option of 640 x 480 which is no good.
I have tried to adjust anything adjustable in the "Preferences" and read the manual for any info but the only thing I found works is to adjust the screen resolution before I start a session then adjust it back after I have finished.

Have I missed something?

Thank-you in advance,
Fell.

Hi Fell,

Change your Scale in your Windows Display Settings. I love using 100% to get that crisp look on a 43” 4k monitor. Maybe try changing it to 200% and see how it looks.

Hi, thankyou for your reply.
However it doesn't affect the CCM size which cannot be dragged to a larger size.

There are still the two panels I mentioned in the first post which cannot be altered in size and as such are almost impossible to read or click on.
This is somewhat frustrating as everything else can be enlarged, either by dragging it with the cursor or altering the size of the font in the preferences.
Apologies if I have missed something, any help or advice would be much appreciated.

Thank-you in advance,

Fell.

What was your remedy Fellsider?

Hi Graham,

I must be honest - it was purely by accident that I discovered how to do it.
(Using Windows 11)

Firstly I "right-clicked" on the desktop icon and then clicked on "Show More Options"

Then click on "Properties"

Then select "Compatibility" from the tabs at the top

Then select "Change high DPI settings"

From this pop-up I then "ticked" Program DPI "Use this setting to fix scaling problems for this program instead of the one in settings"

deselect "High DPI scaling override

and then run the program.

Everything worked a treat and I am back up and running again!
I have no idea when it comes to background computer stuff so nobody was more surprised than me to find the solution!

London Control is an amazing simulation and I am looking forward to many entertaining hours ahead! Unfortunately I cannot get the Voice-Recognition to work properly but I have managed without that for the last 20 years so I don't mind.

Best Wishes, and thanks again to the team.
