Fonts are really pixelated and ugly, especially on larger screens. Glad to see you back developing the project! The resolution is dependent on your monitor, not the software. This is the first I've heard of pixelated fonts. Can you post a screenshot?

Personally, I'm not a fan of that either, but, it's fine once I remember to look there for it. Perhaps consider making that an option in settings? If I've highjacked the previous poster's comment by misinterpreting, then consider my post a separate request. 😉 And, thank you as always, Ross, for all of the amazing work you do for VATSIM!

Adrian Bjerke Posted November 21, 2020 at 09:05 PM Posted November 21, 2020 at 09:05 PM Would it be possible for vatspy to support UTF-8 (I think?) characters? So characters like ÆØÅ does not result in "�". Adrian Bjerke[email protected]VATSIM Scandinavia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So characters like ÆØÅ does not result in "�". That's a matter of what the data feed uses for character encoding. I have been discussing this with the VATSIM devs to see what character set they use, so that I can use the same one in VAT-Spy. 1 Developer: vPilot, VRC, vSTARS, vERAM, VAT-Spy Senior Controller, Boston Virtual ARTCC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes please, it would be fantastic if this could be an option, and not the default behavior. Right now, if you click on the minimize button, the window hides in the system tray, making it inaccessible on a second or third monitor. Having it minimize to the task bar, would be much more useful - or at least give us the option to chose!

Elias Stassinos Posted November 22, 2020 at 08:10 AM Posted November 22, 2020 at 08:10 AM One minor glitch that existed before: When you press the "Retrieve METARs" button , the window that pops up looses focus after a sec... So you start typing the focus is lost , you click again and most pf the times, it looses focus second time....Then it works... And i think that this is happening the first time you do it. __________________________________________________________________________________________Elias Stassinos - Author of PTTBuddy - Automatic volume control while you fly / play /streamMy FS Photos - My MSFS Settings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's most likely caused by moving your mouse after opening the metar window. Whenever you move your mouse over the app, it sends the focus to the main window so that the mouse wheel can be used to zoom the map or scroll the lists. I'll look into adding code to disable that feature when the metar window is open.

Christoph Reule Posted November 23, 2020 at 02:30 PM Posted November 23, 2020 at 02:30 PM Hi @Ross Carlson, I noticed in the beta 4 it's no longer possible to change the map fonts for staffed & unstaffed ATC. You can open the font selection window, but after clicking on "apply" nothing happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monitor is @4k, 200% dpi. It's probably the 200% scaling that's doing it. I see that the boundary lines look pixellated, too. If you set 100% scaling and reboot, does that fix it? I realize that's not a solution, since everything will be too small on your monitor, but I'm curious if it fixes it.

That was a common thing back when I first wrote VAT-Spy, but I don't really think it's valuable any more.

Ross Carlson Posted December 25, 2020 at 04:09 PM Author Posted December 25, 2020 at 04:09 PM The error is saying one of the fonts isn't set. Did you do anything just before that with the font settings? Or did you remove a font from your computer?
