Speaking of UI widgets and windows; please, please, please, allow the auxilliary windows to scale to the resolution of the screen in the next version. My laptop is stuck at 1920 x 1200, and when I look at the login and map windows, etc of FS (IOW, non-flying windows), they are really small and hard to make out because they are stuck at 800x600 or something, and I have all this wasted black space that if the window could scale to the resolution of the screen I'd be able to see those little windows better. (<--fan of runon sentences). Or maybe you know of a switch I can throw to turn this kind of functionality on? I've tried everything. Scaling is turned on in my video card (nVidia 4200 Go 64 MB), I've tried it both on and off.

BTW, and you can tell everyone this, FS runs great on my Dell D800 1Gig Mem, 1.7 GHz PentiumM, 64MB nVidia 4200 go laptop. Thank you. It's not easy to keep it that way (since I keep downloading more and more addons), and I often have to put blocks of ice under it to keep it cool enough to run fast, but, I am very happy with how it runs and am always amazed at what you can do with FS. I have done some simple scenery and aircraft panel design (to match that of my own plane and areas that I fly), and I also really appreciate that you all built FS to be expandable.

Thanks,

Thomas
