ISSUE DESCRIPTION

Description of the issue:

The toolbar at the top of the screen appears to be cut off at both end when additional third party add that use the toolbar are added. It is also missing various cons including the gear icon. In MSFS 2020 the interface could be scaled to show all icons but in 2024 I cannot find an option to scale it. I read somewhere that the toolbar can be scrolled but I tried using the mouse wheel and going at the far right or far left of the toolbar with the mouse to see if it scroll icons but nothing happens and I cannot se the missing icons. I raised a ticket with the helpdesk and I am told they are aware of the issue but I am not sure what is the priority,

FREQUENCY OF ISSUE

Every time and was told by zendesk the workaround for now is to remove third party add on that add icons to the toolbar which does not help as the point of the toolbars is to accommodate add ons like MSFS 2020 did.

REPRODUCTION STEPS

  1. Just add a few third party add ons that use the toolbar
    2.The toolbar will only show 13 icons with the 2 at the far left and right partially visible
  2. Cannot expand the tool bar, cannot scroll the icons using the wheel. The fon is already at is lowest.

[PC Only] Are you using Developer Mode or have you made any changes to it?
No

[PC Only] What GPU (Graphics Card) do you use?
RTX 3080

[PC Only] What other relevant PC specs can you share?
N/A given the issue

Having similar issues. As well. Was told the only workaround for now is to remove the 3rd party add on using the toolbar which his not acceptable given MSFS 2020 would allow the toolbar to be resized

Would like to let you know I have the exact same issue. Non-stop with every flight. I had this issue with beta 1 and also with beta 2. If I click on one of the toolbar icons I can scroll through them with the ‘TAB’ key.

Do you have the same issue if you follow the OP’s steps to reproduce it?
• Yes, same issue. And I cannot scroll right to see the gear icon, so I can’t disable any buttons.
