Hi,
Since the last update of Fs2020 a few days ago, there are some problems with Windows launched in VR: their content is very small, making them unreadable and unusable.
Unfortunately, it is also the case WITH EFB. The windiws are opening but their content is small. If you try to enlarge (strech) the EFB windows in VR, their active content stay small (only the windows itself stretches out, not the inside).
Since this, it is impossible to use EFB.
Thank you If you could come with a fix.
Kindly
David

Hi,
Does anyone else have this problem do you know?

Same here, now unusable.
Text is tiny, initial graphic is very small but can be zoomed so that is ok but the actual menu text is impossible to read and cant be zoomed.

Each SIM EFB window has a Zoom button to Zoom the text and the graphic for such cases. Plus it remembers the last zoom level.

Hi just to confirm that the zoom buttons do indeed alter the size of the text in VR and they do appear to remember the state. So in that the respect the comment about being unusable is incorrect ( I tended to use the scroll wheel to zoom the image which was working fine for the map images but not the text).
There is however still something not quite right as the zoom button function does NOT zoom either the icons (top right - including the +/- buttons) or the text of the window title. These still remain tiny and in VR environment are not really practical to use. Clearly this is a result of the latest MS update but it does need to be addressed at some stage.
Hope that helps a little.

The tiny text is a problem introduced by SU12 when, apparently without warning to 3rd party devs, Asobo/Microsoft split the way panels scale in VR compared to 2D. The resultant problem is not just tiny text in the menus, nor the nano-sized buttons. It also affects the map. Unfortunately, whilst the + button zooms text ok, the World Map remains barely readable. This is because zooming simply changes the size of the map area, not the size of labels such as road names etc. Ditto the teleport dialogue, which is unreadable even at the highest zoom level. There's a lot of discussion on the general topic here: forums.flightsimulator.com/t/3rd-party-application-toolbars-scaling-broken/577877 . Helpfully, about half way down there's a post that describes a workaround of sorts, playing with the panel position and size by using head movements and the mouse: forums.flightsimulator.com/t/3rd-party-application-toolbars-scaling-broken/577877/62 . This does actually work, and with some effort you can get you back to a readable map and clickable button sizes. But you do have to go through the whole head movement / mouse scroll rigmarole every time you open a Sim EFB panel (not to mention every other 3rd party VR App). It's rather painful. Hope this helps. |

the developer from sky4sim found a trick for his addon to counterbalance the bug. He added an option taskbar where the size of each content displayed are customizable *text size , buttons, charts ,etc(
This is how it works properly now since su12.
For now your addon is unfortunately unusable and i do not want to use another once since it is in my opinion the best existing.
the solution bought by billevansalone did not work in my setting
please help us

Thanks Sam. A great improvement. One thing, though. When I double-click on the World Map to set a teleport position, the marker pin drops miles away. For example, when zoomed out to show Australia, clicking in Western Australia will drop the pin in Queensland, or the ocean. Hope a fix is possible. Cheers.

Thanks Sam.
It works now but only the icons on the top right of the charts remains very small and unreadable. Could you find a way to make them bigger?
Thanks
David

I just bought the product today. It's great but as mentioned by Davidwe1 I have those 2 issues: - icons on upper right corner are tiny and impossible to read in VR - The Aircrft symbol is way too small. Very hard to find
Please fix !!

I also just bought the product but the icon issue still seems to be there. Fix would be nice. Thanks. |
