Just upgraded from a Samsung Galaxy S6 edge to the new S8 and noticed some layout problems. Love using SD on the S6, never any problems.
On the S8 The SD orb is too big meaning I can only display 4 instruments at the top of the screen in portrait and the top one is always obscured by the orb in landscape.
When viewing a saved log in the map I can't close it again because the red X in the bottom left of the virtual radar is only partially displayed in portrait, if I switch to landscape I can then click the X but the virtual radar formatting is wrong, it is squashed upwards and to the left.
Also if I try to view a log in Google Earth, the earth app opens but no log / trace is shown in it.
I don't know if these problems are due to the non standard screen size on the S8 or maybe because it's on android 7.0? I have mirrored my settings from the S6 where possible (android 6) and tried all combinations of screen zoom / font options in the phone settings.
I have tried the beta versions 3.8 & 3.81, both seem the same.
Anyone else seeing similar problems?

I notice the same on my Galaxy S7 (Model SM-G930F, Android 7.0).

I‌ suspect this has to do with Android's "Screen zoom" and "font size" settings (under the "Display" options) and Skydemon ignoring them when in landscape mode (?).

‌ Attached are three screenshots‌‌: In the first, I have just started up SD and entered simulation mode. In the second, I have clicked on the top area of the screen to display the PLOG. Pressing "back" from the PLOG, results in the third screenshot, with the fonts enlarged.

T‌his happens only in landscape mode. In fact, with the fonts already large as above, switching to portrait and then displaying the PLOG, will set the fonts back to normal upon hitting "back".

A‌nother bit of info: Before the PLOG is displayed, the screen often "flashes"‌ a few times (as if SD is quickly redrawing the screen a 2-3 times).

Hope this helps! BTW, Tim - and since this is my first post - thanks for a truly superb product!
