A year later and still no reply or comment from developers. Game still doesn't scale the UI to hi res displays. Many additions and overhaul to the UI yet only adding a bigger need to have a proper scaling UI.

Finally landed on the mun!... To be fair though it was my first attempt. I haven't had the game long. However it wasn't that smooth of a landing. I had a good bit of fuel left. I danced a couple of km's above the surface for about 5 minutes (literally) because I kept coming at an odd angle. I would try and kill I guess you can call it horizontal velocity. As soon as I thought every thing was well and brace my self for the land I would literally last second be "nope!". Simply because I was always coming in at a slight angle. After dancing in the air or rather space? for far too long I just decided to land and adjust the angle as best I could. Two legs touched the ground then I knew something horrible was gonna go wrong. The ship bounced a couple meters into the air, did a 360, hit the ground at exactly the same angle, bounced back up. Then down. Up then down. Until it had no momentum left and surprisingly landed softly on the ground. On it's side. Again surprisingly nothing broke. I pondered how I was gonna get off the mun. Resolved that concern by simply telling my self I can get it to launch on it's side no problem. Where I proceeded to get out of the capsule. Do the routine stuff take a sample, eva report. Then decided to see if I could do some more science while I was there by finding different biomes. Zoomed out and found a nice crater a few km's out. Started walking there. And discovered that the jetpack was faster to travel around with. As I was coming up on the crater I realized I was going way too fast. Tried to slow down and managed to slow down a lot but not enough. Bill Kerman managed to survive the impact of the ground. But then he proceeded to skid on his face and bounce 100's of meters which was enough to discover the mouth of the crater. Where he proceed to continue to skid on his face about a km down this crater. He was fine. Got the surface sample. Decided to go back to the ship and leave. This time I was going to be careful not to make Bill suffer eating dirt for 100s of meters. Something went wrong though. I was going too fast straight to the ground. Trying to kill as much velocity as I could. Splat! Bill Kerman hit the ground and just went POOF. He died from the most stupidest thing you could die from. After realizing I had no quicksave only a quick save after I got a stable orbit around kerbin. I realized I just had wasted the last hour or so of my life. I could either a) Redo all that science I had just done. Attempt to go to the mun and land near the spaceship. In an attempt to retrieve the science stored in the vessel. Option A sounded too tedious. Option B? Well that was my only option left. So now I guess I will attempt to go do that now. I have no idea how I'm gonna do this. Considering to get within walking distance of the ship. Would require a lot of precision I don't have. Never knew just how important quicksaving was until I lost hours of progress. *sigh*

Yea I recently just got the game and I'm running @ a resolution of 2560x1600. The UI size adjuster in the options menu is Flight UI Size which I have set to max. This obviously as the name implies only makes the Flight UI bigger or rather stretches it. Because the text or rather the graphics with text in them aren't much more readable. It's not just the icons in the UI that don't scale well it's the text as well. It's insanely small. Setting my resolution lower on this monitor is really not an option as it doesn't scale well. Makes everything blury and ugly (or maybe that's just what 1920x1200 looks like lol). Not only that but it would seem ridiculous to lower the resolution by double to a $300 monitor from a $1200 monitor. Don't think the devs really tested the game at high resolution. I'm sure if they did they would be just like "no" we need to scale that much higher. Oh well. Probably not gonan get a true sense of how small it is on a screenshot. But non the less here they are:
