HUD & MFD Font Symbollogy Density


Belphe

Recommended Posts

Dear ED,

 

Would it be possible to make the font and symbollogy thickness on the HUD and all 3 MFDs scallable from the Special menu in DCS? I play in 32:9 aspect and zoom out to maintain appropriate cockpit size. Unfortunately, the digits and letters on the above mentioned displays don't scale down and "melt into one big green blob". The only way I managed to fix this issue was editing those values inside .cfg files. However, this feels like an inappropriate approach to the problem, doesn't fix the issue on the bottom MFD and obviously gets overwritten with every patch.

 

Please, consider implementing a slider for these values similar to the one available for VR (Pixel Density).

 

Thank you

THIS!! ^^

 

I play on a 34' display in 21:9 and I experience the same issue.

 

other 3d reporting the same issue:

 

[uNABLE TO REPRODUCE] hud and mfcd not really readable

[REPORTED] Larger, blurry HUD and DDI fonts

 

 

ED, can you give us an update on this?

 

The thread about the blurry HUD and DDI lines has been tagged [REPORTED] but it's now closed and nobody can post anymore.

 

Correct scaling of HUD/DDI text is a much needed feature for us playing on widescreen displays

Wow I raised that initial bug report 2 years ago, and now it's closed without being addressed? That's not a great look ...

yeah it seems to be related to widescreen resolutions only but no fix yet...

 

in my case when you zoom in it gets better but then it defeats the purpose of having a widescreen.

 

strange thing is that it happens only with this module, on the A10C of F16C for example is fine

Have you tried the F/A-18C Display Readability mod? I use the mod on a 3 display/monitor 1920x1080 setup and greatly improves the font readability.

 

Without the mod, looks about the same showing here. There are only 4 lines of code to edit. Of course, with any updates you will have to re-do it. This is also listed in the F/A-18 mods files.
