Sephroth Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 Man, this tweak for the map as well as the white font made the MPCD actually usable with the map on for the first time since flying the Hornet. This was a great find! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nagilem Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 Anybody know where the map files for the AMPCD are located? I like dimming down the map, but have issues with using this mod in NV. The letters no longer dim when turning the brightness down which makes them too bright in NV. What I would like to do is dim the map files by 40% so I can continue to use the brightness knob to dim the entire display. 1 :pilotfly: Specs: I9-9900k; ROG Strix RTX 2080ti; Valve Index HMD; 32GB DDR4 3200 Ram; Samsung 970 EVO 1TB SSD; TM Warthog with pedals, 3 TM MFDs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomas9970 Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 (edited) It simply uses the map view from the mission editor and the F10 map. They are located in the RasterCharts folder in the terrain's install directory. Edited December 17, 2019 by Tomas9970 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ex81 Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 Hi, I changed the green of the DDIs to white. But I`m not really satisfied. Would like to have white only for the MFCD.

Wizard1393 Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 They should change the font on the AMPCD to a font that has a black outline. A font like this (but obviously smaller): This would create the much needed contrast between lettering and the map itself.
