Yes I'd thought of that but couldn't find the files! Could you tell me
which directory they're in?
It's not really the size of the window, but rather that it's only displaying
a tiny part of the document at once--something that changing resolution
doesn't help.
I find it unbelievable that this could even be. I mean it's the first
screen that comes up! Are the creators of FS really this stupid? Same
problem when you're using the map in flight planner and such--confined to a
little window, scrolling around like a moron. Nice going MS "designers".
