Popup panels in VR no longer resize

ISSUE DESCRIPTION

Description of the issue: Popup panels while in VR no longer resize in any aircraft

FREQUENCY OF ISSUE

How often does this occur for you (Example: Just once, every time on sim load, intermittently)?

Always

REPRODUCTION STEPS

Please list clear steps you took in order to help our test team reproduce the same issue:

  1. While in VR select any panel from the toolbar and try to resize it by clicking it and wheel mouse up. It just comes closer but doesn’t resize anymore. Problem with this is that is that you cannot place them however you want in the cockpit

Are you saying SU4 allows VR panel resizing via mouse scroll? Wow, did not know this. I always drag the edges!

Yes, that was a feature in MSFS as well. When you “click & scroll” the pop-up window in VR it brings it closer or further away from you. So if you scroll down, you bring it closer to you,u its size remains the same. In essence, you make it smaller/you shrink it as an overall ratio (eg the letters and buttons also become smaller). and then you can “push” it further back with your head. If you resize from the edges, the size of text and buttons remains the same, so it becomes unusable if you make it too small (I use BEYOND ATC in-game panel, and that’s the only way I can make it smaller and keep the letter and button sizes usable). Don’t know if there is another method to “shrink” a pop-up window, if there is, please let me know!

Thanks for the detailed explanation, need to try this. So I need to hold the left mouse button and scroll at same time?

Yes that is correct - click the top banner of the window and scroll. It brings the window back and forth but also scales it in msfs and fs2024 SU4. Since the SU5 beta this is not the case it does not rescale.

Haha yeah it just moves into the distance.

Hopefully this fix is related to the issue reported here:
