Yes, that's also in the pipeline.

@Ralph Pls let me know if I can test something. Here some information that might help:
- Windows 11 General scale e.g. 200% on 4k monitors do not have any effect
- FS2020 Accessibility-> Minimum font size is not used at all. Maybe a connect here can fix all problems

There's a third-party package that will let you use voice commands to switch the control that the Knobster is focused on:

I've not personally used it so I can't attest to its reliability.

Corjan is going to look at a good way to dynamically scale the thing. It's not as easy as it might sound.

Corjan has uploaded a new beta which scales the text according to the width of the window. Hopefully this does the trick.

I assume this is the version KnobFS 1.1 Home Use (BETA 2).exe

Since the SIM Update 12 the situation is unacceptable with the old version. Now the text is so super tiny you even cannot guess it anymore. Will try the Beta later this afternoon

I checked the BETA2 downloaded here: https://siminnovations.com/wiki/index.p ... nobFS_BETA

For the play this is a massive enhancement and works. The last minor issue is that the two icons on the left to configure are still super tiny. I have heard that one mitigation is to change screen resolution to 1080p or lower to get larger icons in VR..... strange relationship

Those have a fixed size I guess, but we can probably make those scale together.

Thanks to you & Corjan for the beta - it does work for making the text more visible, but in VR at least the hit-testing on the config page is completely broken. It is not possible to select a mode in the config page that will then be visible (or removed) in the modes page. Clicking on an item in the config page insteasd causes the list view to scroll. It's possible that with the correct window resizing the config page might work properly, but I suspect your hit-testing logic does not account for the new list item sizing.

Am happy to help debug this.
