How do you make in game text bigger?

[appraiserfl 0]

Hey Guys, I am playing at a very hi resolution 2560x1600 and it is great, however, like most games and applications at this resolution, the ingame text in microscopic and it makes it very difficult to see messages and ID kills. Is there any way to make the text bigger for my resolution while flying.

 

Thanks!

<br />I know how to totally eliminate it, but I never heard of your request. Got me by the short and curlies.<br /><br />After swhile you won't need it<br />

Well I only need it to identify what kind of plane im shooting so i can file my claim later. It comes up at the top middle of the screen... is their an easier way to know what you are shooting are or have shot down? Hard for me to know the planes, they all look the same to me...Im good at iding ww2 planes.

Turn your aircraft labels on/off with CTRL+SHIFT+L.

 

The information at the top centre of your screen which provides you with such wonderful information as "You have been hit by Jasta 28 Albatros etc" can be removed by looking in your configuration from "Workshop". (I'm at work at the moment, and don't have access to the keystrokes needed to find where to remove this text if you wish to...if you DO, reply and I'll find it for you [or some other helpful soul will beat me to it])

 

Your aircraft labels will display (in white) BOGEY XXyds, then change to RED with information about the squadron and type of aircraft as well as distance to target. You can check out your TAC (radar-like device)and observe white aircraft in your vicinity (white being too far away to identify), blue for your flight accompanying you, and your wingmen. The white aircraft will change colour as you get closer, either to blue if friendly, or red if enemy. When it appears they are heading towards you, and there will be conflict, you can turn on your labels, identify the squadron, and maybe even the number of enemies, then turn them off if you want more realism/immersion. (PS fairly obvious really, but if there is a name [for instance] "Hans von Olham Jasta 11 Albatros III" as opposed to the others "Airman Jasta 11 Albatros III", this guy is an ace. You will also be able to see the names of your wingmen, which helps when you fill out claims).

 

Speaking of your TAC, you can of course toggle that on or off with SHIFT+T, change the display type (aircraft, vehicles, buildings, all etc) with T, and change the range with CTRL+SHIFT+T. You can mess around with the SIZE of the TAC to make it more visible or less intrusive as well as toggling it on or off.

 

The HUD information supplied on the extreme right of your screen (remaining ammunition and stuff like that) can be toggled on and off with F5, and your gauges can be toggled on and off by using CTRL+SHIFT+1 up to CTRL+SHIFT+5. If you mess around with these, you can find which set of gauges works best for your tastes (personally, I don't use a compass, I look for the light blue waypoint line on my TAC, or if I get lost, I toggle my map "M" and check my location and which direction to turn to get home etc), so you may find that you prefer (for instance) left hand guage altimeter, middle guage compass, right hand guage slip meter.

 

You can also "grab" each gauge in turn (with your mouse) and position these where you want them on screen (I personally find they are least obtrusive on the bottom of the screen). You may wish to remove them altogether and rely on your HUD info toggled on or off using a joystick button to make your screen nice and clear whilst in a dogfight.

 

All of these key commands were put together nicely by our good friend Homeboy on a single sheet here.

Print it out and keep it handy. Also check out how to program the commands to your joystick so that you can toggle things on/off during combat without having to take your eyes off your enemy.
