Will website ever be updated?

Will website ever be updated? It seems like it was designed in early 2000s. Not very exciting to look at, formatting is strange depending on screen size. It's a turn-off to newcomers.

Didn't you hear that function-over-form is the Russian way? :D

 

I'm not sure I understand the complaint about formatting "depending" on screen size though? It's not screen size that matters, it's pixel count. (You can do the same through just windowing your browser and making it smaller. Yes, there is a lower limit where things might get strange. This is how it is. I find this to occur at roughly 1280. There might be a point that this could be adjusted to be more inclusive of the swathe of 13xx width laptops out there, though fortunately I suspect this will solve itself due to the constant proliferation of high-DPS monitors.

 

If you are using a small (physically) monitor with a high DPS count, unfortunately the problem is very likely in Windows itself. Windows 8 is still not quite where it wants to be with font transformation for high-DPS monitors even for native applications.

Hmmm... Devs spend time coding airframes and new maps and fixing bugs...

Or they can update the website..

 

Personally, I like their priorities!

Well, to be fair, it's not like the flight model engineers would get tapped to write website code. :P

Are you saying const cant code a FM? :P

We are working on a new site version. It will be opened soon.

Mostly for viewing website on tablets and phones. Desktop version is OK.

[EtherealN]

Ah, yeah, fair point.

As Const mentioned, there is a new version coming. Hopefully it'll give you everything you desire. :)

There is a clear disadvantage when looking at this site when I am not on my Mac with Retina display, yes, no doubt.

 

As EtherealN said, it is due to MS not being capable of scaling correctly, somehow ok in Win8 but completely nuts in Win7 with a 15" screen @ 2880x1800.

 

God, I love this Retina thing, reading is so much less eye straining if you do it on the Mac.

You gotta do it to believe it.
