Increasing the font size for FPS Display

Hi Everyone, Does anyone know how to increase the font size on the FPS display so it can be read? It is way too small for my aging eyes. Thanks!!

Wayne

Yes, I found this in the forums somewhere--please don't ask me where now, bc I have no idea anymore--and made it OvGME ready.

It replaces the font used for the FPS display with a much larger font and replaces a text file in the same folder.

Thanks a bunch. Where does it go to make it work?

Thanks,

Wayne

I figured it out. Thanks a lot. It is a good size now for me to see. Looking at upgrading my video board from my current Nvidia GTX 660 to either the Nvidia GTX 1080 or the Ti version.

Thanks,

Wayne

Glad that's working for you.

I can't recommend the 1080TI enough. For DCS--especially with VR--you can never have too much computing power.

I have heard some call for waiting on the 1180TI now, but I've been so satisfied with the 1080TI I haven't been keeping up with other developments.

Thank you for the question and the answer. Very helpful :thumbup:

Hi folks,

@hrnet940:would you be so kind to explain how exactly you handled the mentioned "FPS Indicator" ? I used JSGME but nothing changed. So, where is my mistake?

Thanks in advance, mate

These are replacement files for the originals. Mine are located here C:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World OpenBeta\FUI\Fonts. They are reset with every update, so this needs to be done after every update. I hope this helps and if not, just let me know and I'll help you with it.

Sorry, but still not working. Unpacked the files to overwrite the existing ones in the appropriate files (FUI-Fonts). Found the two files near the bottom. Probably a silly question, nevertheless want to get it right. By the way, no updates in the meantime.

Thanks for your patience!

Probably a silly question. Do you have multiple versions installed? If so, are you overwriting in the correct folder of the one you generally fly? The font should be quite big after. I tried to post a picture, but that failed big time, just way too many characters.

I have lots of patience!

Hi Wayne,

good to hear- read- from you again. No silly question at all! Seems to me everything is possible ... no other version installed. For DCS I have an extra SSD and there the FUI, Fonts folders are clearly visible. First unpacked the the FPS Indicator to an new folder and from there tried to overwrite via JSGME

Just had another try-without success. Anything I have to change in the game settings? Can' t be sooo difficult! Just drives me nuts!

Hi,

just want to let you know that I finally got it:music_whistling:! Thanks for helping:thumbup:

All the best Tally-Ho!

Glad to hear that you have it working. You will need to do it with every update, but worth it. Happy hunting and killing. Take Care, Wayne

FPS display was more visible in yellow, don't find where changing the font color :cry:

make sure to make a backup copy in the same folder (copy and paste)

ex: graphics - Copy

and another one in your DCS World backup folder

Golden yellow

statsColor = {255,223,0}

This doesn't seems to work anymore with latest open beta, could you perhaps update the mod, it has been very useful especially in higher resolution when text getting smaller ?

Kind regards

The functionality hasn't changed in desktop mode. The "modded" font is still much larger than the original.

In VR however, the modded font is not used. I never noticed that, because for me, in VR the font is pretty well readable. It's not huge, but it's acceptable.

I have no idea what font is being used in VR. I'll have to ask in the VR section.
