I have a 3 year-old grand-son who loves to sit on my lap and fly with me.  Unfortunately when his little fingers hit the keyboard, I have to figure out what it is that he's triggered in the fsx program.  My problem is that since the last time he "flew" with me, the fonts for the ATC are so small that I have to wear 2 pairs of glasses to read what the controller is saying! I miss the dialogue and I'm still amateurish enough to have to resort to the written word to remember my assigned runways etc.

Does anyone know how to restore the air traffic controllers dialogue box to a larger size as it was originally?  I have been screwing around with this for weeks now with no luck.

Hi cg2021. The same thing happen to me ( I let a friend play ). Just like you said two pairs of specs and a magnifine glass! Also I couldn't resize the ATC window. and also my kneeboard was the same way. I messed with it for hours trying to trouble shot the problem. Any way this is how I got it back to normal. Short and sweet ( so ya can get back to flying ) find your FSX.CFG file and either make a copy of it or just move it to a safe place ( My Documents) so just in case you need to reinstall it you got it. If ya made a copy than delet the FSX.CFG from the FSX folder. Then fire up the sim ( it will write a new FSX.CFG file ) and that should do it. It worked for me, I was tweaking my FSX.CFG for something else, and on a wim I deleted the file and let the sim write a new one and it fixed the ATC (and kneeboard) problem. Just happen to stumble upon this fix. Don't know if it will work for you, Good luck
