Yes, it is probably the size of my monitor. But note that I don't have this problem with the stock game. I guess it is up to you guys to decide if you want your mod to look good on smaller monitors or not.
1366x768 is my native.

Here's the trouble with the Stock game, it was never intended to be used on the flat screen, 16:9 resolutions that are commonplace today. The actual screen resolutions it was made for is the 1024x768, 4:3 aspect ratio! That's why it defaults to it every time you remove your optional Graphic Settings that players make. Also, there's a file called "menu_1024_768.ini" that creates the screens you see in-game...…..they didn't call it that for nothing!!
When the game was produced, LED Flat Screens with the various resolutions/aspect ratios weren't even in the main stream future of computing! We still used CRT analog monitors with that 4:3 aspect ratio as the only way to play the game!
We have been able to overcome some of the issues that the developers left us, but for pity sakes, we can't turn this game into something it's not, or every will be.
My advice for you is to use the keyboard "DEL" key.....it will hide the lower set of controls so you can have complete access to the TDC or Torpedo Firing Panel. Other than that, play the game on a different computer. That's what we all did back in the day. When RGB Color came out, we scraped perfectly good monochrome monitors just to have three colors displayed on a 9" screen.
