P3D v3.2: Solution for Large fonts in ATC / GSX / ProATC X and other windows

With P3Dv3, Adobe Scaleform is being used for user interfaces like menus, ATC Window, and Simconnect created menus by other apps like GSX, ProATC X etc.

However on high DPI displays, e.g. 4k on Win10, the fonts on the ATC / GSX windows are quite small. As part of the P3D SDK, LM has provided the UI files for developers to customize these interfaces. Using those I have created a modified version which shows large fonts.

Instructions:
1. Download and unzip the attached file, you will get MenuWindow.swf.
2. Navigate to Scaleform directory under your P3D installation folder
3. Backup the existing MenuWindow.swf
4. Copy the file from 1 here.
