How to set scale factor for Android emulator

I know that this question was asked before, but the answers there are old and no longer valid.

Previously, I could set the -scale parameter for the emulator: for example:

emulator -avd device_name -scale 1 -verbose

But I see this in the logs:

: WARNING: the scale flag is outdated and will be ignored.

When I change the zoom settings in android-studio, it also does nothing, because it is also trying to use a flag of the same scale.

Is there a new way to set the scale factor?

Android documentation: https://developer.android.com/studio/run/emulator-commandline.html talks about the -scale option, even if it no longer works.

According to the -help emulator, the -scale option is deprecated.

- scale scale emulator window (deprecated)

I can not find any command line option that affects the size of the window. However, you can press Ctrl-Up and Ctrl-Down to resize the window after it starts.
