Resize "ATC Details" window?

Might it be possible to make the "ATC Details" window resizable (or failing that, just a bit wider)? When viewing ATIS information, the line length is wider than the window allows for and so forces a scrollbar. This all works OK, but since it's multi-line, it isn't easy to read! (I'm using version 1.1.0-beta.8)

I've always wondered the same. Why don't the lines adjust to the window width? Any plans to change this?

Personally I vote for more ATC's to use approved abbreviations in the ATIS. Nothing worse than requesting it via CPDLC and getting 6 pages, just to find the runway and weather. Further more, the ATIS policys of VATSIM is loosley followed, and realy enforced, there is loads of places that have information that shouldnt be in an ATIS. An ATIS serves to state what the current conditions are at an airport.

This is a nice neat ATIS and tells me everything I need to know in text.

This is not relevent dynamic Airport information, an ATIS should not be used to reiterate pilots to follow the instructions they were given by ATC.
