This update adds a new Screen Resolution menu to the ESC settings and improves UI layout behavior across different display resolutions.
New Screen Resolution Menu
Players can now select one of the following resolutions:
1280 × 720
1920 × 1080
2560 × 1440
3840 × 2160
The selected resolution is saved and automatically applied the next time the game starts.
Resolution-Based UI Scaling
The original 2560 × 1440 interface layout is now used as the base design. At lower resolutions, UI panels are proportionally resized and repositioned while preserving their original arrangement.
Improved Default UI Layout
Left-side panels are aligned along the left edge of the screen.
Right-side controls and the world map are aligned along the right edge.
Cockpit Control and Global Route Planner panels no longer overlap.
Panel spacing is calculated automatically according to each panel’s actual size.
UI windows remain inside the visible screen area.
Automatic UI Reset
Selecting a screen resolution now resets all interface panels to their correct default positions for that resolution.
This also resets previously moved, minimized, or incorrectly positioned UI windows.
UI Dragging Improvements
UI dragging coordinates have been corrected for scaled resolutions. Windows now follow the mouse cursor accurately without jumping or moving in an unintended direction.
