Need option to increase text size

Recommended Posts

With 2k and 4k monitors in widespread use these days ... the on-screen text can get really difficult to read. The radio communications window and the multiplayer chat windows in particular.

 

It would be nice if DCS either autoscaled the fonts as it relates to the chosen resolution, or ... better yet ... just give the user the option to change the font size for himself in the gui interface (so he doesn't have to be messing with the lua code). Maytbe give the option change font color as well (the blue font in the multiplayer screen can be devilishly hard to read ... and when you combine it with tiny font on a high res screen it becomes impossible).

I'll second that particularly colour change options. Old farts like me have more and more troubles with colour and text size. Maybe even some of the younger guns as well:)

This has been brought up so often now I still wonder why nothing happened. Scale GUI does absolutely nothing BTW. At least on a 1920 screen.

 

 

OP was asking about 2k and 4k screens. 1920 is just below 2k according to https://www.tomshardware.com/news/2k-definition,37641.html
