No chance I guess if you look at older threads with other issues .

Should not be too hard to fix for FSDT, I hope the responsible guys read this

It's ridiculously large now on my 3440x screen and font size does not auto-resize when you shrink the Main Menu window down.   I tried the Scaler mod and that didn't touch it whereas before this change it did.  Fix it quickly please thanks in advance.

Of course it's an MSFS SU2 Beta bug, and we had to act quickly on it, because without our FIX, it would cause a completely unreadable menu with microscopic tiny fonts, which was way worse than a "slightly" different font size that, as you can see, depending on the resolution used, might be perfect, better than before or worse, because the only FIX for that bug was to set a fixed font size, so at least you would see something.

Since this problem doesn't affect only GSX but several other apps with a Toolbar menu, on a recent post on their devs forum, Asobo promised the problem with UI scaling, which happened with MSFS 2024 SU2 Beta and we had to act quickly on to prevent a way worse issue of tiny unreadable fonts, should be fixed in the final version or in a newer beta, so assuming it will be fixed, we can go back to the previous version of the menu which supported UI scaling.

For you at least the menu is opening, here it doesn't open at all, since last Friday, version 3.4.3. Do you use FS2024 or 2020? Here I use 2020.

I Use 2020.

I have this problem in 2020 and 2024 SU1 (not beta). Can you please provide a previous Version to downlad as it is unusable for me now. I have tiny microscopic fonts now. thx

So the change you made quickly impacts both 2020 and 2024 and also affects people not on the SUbeta like myself okay thanks looks like it will be restored at some point.

I've also noticed a big increase in jerky animation in GSX over the past few weeks.  It's never been great though it's been okay but now much worse, regardless of whether or not the sim is locked at 30 FPS or not.

These updates should first go through beta testing for anyone who wants to use and test them, just like many developers do. Now, since last Friday, I have not been able to simulate them in MSFS2020 because GSX no longer works after a quick update.

Your fix caused microscopic tiny fonts for me, never had this problem before. Can you please provide me a previous version ?

best regards

I also have this problem in MSFS 2020 in the VR Menu, the fonts are microscopicly small and impossible to read.
In no way it is just "slightly different"
A possibility to download previous versions would help quickly and nobody would have to wait for another SU or could at least use the product we paid for again.

Who cares about SU2 beta users, they use beta they know the risks. let them have screwed up fonts and have Asobo fix it !!! now everyone else has screwed up fonts 2020 in VR is a joke, fix it back to the way it was and stop blaming everything you do on someone else.

Exactly AndyCYXU!

This arrogant attitude from FSDT is absolutley not understandble.
First releasing an update without sufficiant testing and then blaming everybody else but themselves when problems occur, that make the product unusable from one second to the other!

Users would expect a quick fix /roll back option or at least an excuse but not justification for your very own inability!

This would be ok for freeware but not for a 35 Euro product from a company, that makes advertisements with "high quality addons for flight simulation on their homepage.

Then, I understand that for solve a problem with FS2024 Beta, GSX Pro on my FS2020 is wrong with a very little fonts. Incredible!

Any solution for FS2020?

This getting a farce .... the in the release notes you only mentioned SU 2 scaling bugs... but you introduced a scaling bug by yourself... as SU 1 looks still like this
(screenshot is resized from 4k to 1080p)

The task is:
- Fix the scaling in all versions of MSFS <= 1.38.2.0 (SU 1 and lower)

Umberto, you dont have to react quick on beta versions, you have to maintain the product working for official versions first, second may provide a hotfix for beta versions

@Sharpsolver
Unfortunately the attitude is included when buying gsx :/
Never saw a "it was my fault / i apologize" or s.th similar before or even not just an "Ups!", never in almost a decade using GSX
