• same.atc dont close

I always use the Communication Window (Formally ATC).
When a new communication appears from ATC or my own transmission, the window scrolls up such that I have to scroll down to see the latest entry.

This happens every time.

After instruction from ATC:

After I scroll back to the bottom

try screen scaling mod at flightsim to it fixes the text size issue but not the text not scrolling down to last entry

Having to scroll to see the answer options is really painful.
When will this be fixed? SU7 or SU8?

It’s especially annoying when you’re in an area with many airports and heliports, as the list keeps resorting constantly due to your distance from each changing.

Now I don’t even see any answer possibilities.. Freq is the correct one. What am I supposed to do? Wait for SU9?

SU 1 and atc scrolling is still not fixed…
how possible i have to manually scroll down every message i receive…

Seems rocket science to resize a window or make it resizable by user and have it automatically scroll to the last message.. I guess we will have to wait for SU5 if at all ..

• I have the same issue as described. We need the ATC window to scroll to the latest message.


ISSUE DESCRIPTION

Description of the issue:
Unable to resize the in game windows (ATC, mission list, EFB,…), forcing users to scroll - very annoying and jumpy. Smallest EFB is still too big, taking too much of the screen, making it unusable in flight.

Clarification: You can resize all windows if you pop them out. That, however, eats some resources. BUT, the ATC windows still only show 4 out of 10 communications options, forcing unnecessary scrolling…

FREQUENCY OF ISSUE

All the time!

REPRODUCTION STEPS

  1. Launch into flight
  2. Open ATC (Communication) window
  3. Try to resize it to see all comm options

Re the EFB, you can interact with it without bringing it into the screen with the TAB key, it operates just like a normal instrument. That might work for you.

Yes, that’s what I’m talking about, and it’s too big even in small setting

Same here,

Especially with the ATC window this is a bummer.
I even cannot see what the numbers of the possible answers are without havin to go search my mouse and fumble scrolling the tiny little muchtoosmall list of options.

I can’t believe such things slip through testing.

I mean don’t press TAB, just zoom in like it’s a normalm instrument, you can have it as big or as small as you like controlled by how close you zoom into it

And how am i supposed to see out and on the instruments while hand flying? All I want for it is to be smaller and not taking up third of my screen, so I can have it up, being able to see outside, not having blocked instruments and still see the navlog when flying VFR. Is that so hard to understand? Not to mention the stupid EFB blocks the view itself. Why can’t we just hide it altogether from the 3D cockpit?
