Ghostrider142 Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 (edited) This is for those who still want some help recognizing targets, but do not want the Moby Dick of text covering the entire map. I couldn't find one for Nevada that did what the label mods did in 1.5, so I made this one and am happy with it. https://drive.google.com/open?id=0ByhQ1W740NKGVkdXdlJ1OEZqVUE Put it here- C:\Users\YOURNAME\Saved Games\DCS.openalpha\Config\View - do not overwrite the main label file in the programs pathway. Putting it here also protects the mod from updates. This still requires visual ID only the colors are the same, all ground units use _ for near and + for mid range, nothing for far, and air uses ' for near and ^ for mid range. No text at any range. I prefer no labels in solo missions but playing with my friends who want labels, this is a compromise.

JLX Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 Thanks for this. I fly mainly solo and, like you, prefer no labels. However, this is *much* better for those times where you do end up using them. I wasn't familiar with the labels.lua settings and this saved me time getting up to speed. 3570K w/ 16GB, 1070 w/ 8GB @ 1440p, VKB Gunfighter/MCG-Pro & T-Rudder Mk.IV, CH ProThrottle, TrackIR 5, HTC Vive, UniversRadio, VoiceAttack, TacView Pro, DCS Menu Nav F/A-18C, F-5E, F-86F, A-10C, AV-8B, AJS-37, MiG-21bis, MiG-15bis, UH-1H, Mi-8MTV2, Ka-50, SA342, P-51D, Spitfire Mk.IX, Bf109, Fw190, FC3, CA, Persian Gulf, NTTR, Normandy, WW2 Assets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JG14_Smil Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 This is a mod and not input/output. Might want to move it there if you want people to see and use it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghostrider142 Posted June 1, 2017 Author Share Posted June 1, 2017 Glad you guys like it, I will add a second optional version where the ground unit labels are uniform and the aircraft labels are visible a little farther out. I saw an old label mod in this thread and thought it's where they went, what do you think would be the best thread for this, mods? i7-4770K @3.50GHz; EVGA 1070 8GB Superclocked; 16GB Ram; MSI Z97 Gaming; two Samsung 500GB SSD's in RAID; TrackIR; 32" 2560x1440 Samsung Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
