    After a very long break, I'm back to BeamNG, and I fired up the world editor for the first time on my new 4k monitor. Unfortunately, the GUI is so tiny I can't read anything--including trying to find any text-scaling tools that might exist.

    Is there a keyboard shortcut for this, or will I have to run BeamNG in 2k?

    If you're looking to change the UI on the World Editor, head to the "Edit" tab on the top and go down to "Editor Preference". On the left, click on "User Interface" and you can adjust the "Scale" value to your needs. It should scale the widgets and text, but you may need to change the windows around to accommodate the larger text, if you are able to find it. As for shortcuts, I haven't got a clue, but it should negate the need to drop the resolution.

    Thanks! I knew it was probably easy. I just had to lean into the screen a bit to find the menus!

    1.4 seems to be a good value for a 50" 4k TV about 6 feet away.

    Good to see you back Geobeck. I'm always interested to see what you're up to in the world editor. Always seems to be something a bit clever if memory serves me right.

    Thanks, although it looks like I'm starting close to the bottom of the learning curve again. I started my 'hiatus' when PBR was just getting started. I just looked at some of the JSONs in a level I want to edit, and the terrain definitions look completely new.
