Increase Max UI Scaling

[gchristopher]

On a 4K monitor, 150% is not enough to bring most of the UI back to a usable size, especially control buttons like take crew reports, etc. 

Can the  max UI scale be increased? That'd help a lot to lower eyestrain and make the UI easier to navigate. 

(Obviously reducing the resolution is an option, but since even last year's graphics card keeps up with the game easily, it'd be sad to lose the nice native screen resolution.)

Agreed. Until they get to it you can change the value in the settings.cfg file in your installation directory.

Thanks! I tried it, and it's only partially successful.

Some UI elements scale correctly, others, like the total science/funds display, vanish entirely in key places, like the research center. (Try picking what to research when you don't know how much science you have!)

I think for now, in 1.3, KSP simply isn't playable in 4K without some fixes by the developers for the UI.

I agree. I am in the same position as you, forced to play on the next lower 16:9 resolution available.
