Engineer/machinist tool

Hmm. This probably belongs in your other thread Fidd, but now I want a small chalk board on the bulkhead in the engine room so I can 'write down' (type) notes; such as time/date or speed/rpm, or charge times, etc. What a great game we have here.

I can't remember if a editable Captains Log was brought up or not either. I don't mean to be the guy that is always demanding 'I want I want'. I should probably go buy another copy of this fine game just to show some support. Thanks to our developers for a great game.

I did suggest that the clip-board on the port-side bulkhead could be used by the chief engineer to upload an .jpg which could be clicked on, either to give "standing orders" - such as make 560C on all cylinders unless asked otherwise, machinist operates starboard side, (etc) or perhaps a perhaps a tasteful picture of Julie Andrews singing in the Alps. Or other such artistry! Don't feel bashful about giving ideas, as the Dev's can't think of everything, and sometimes a different perspective sees something the rest of us miss!

One person has contacted us about "crowded" lettering which looks like this:

The problem is caused by font-size being increased as a windows setting whilst not forcing the "app" size to be similarly magnified.

Look here in Windows:

and

Setting them to the same magnifcation will cure the problem.
