newbie asks: how do I change size of the on-screen font ?

[sparrowhawkms]

Hi. am a newbie to OFF and to flight simulators !

Perhaps a grizzled "veteran" can help me out.;

 

I would like to increase the height of the text font that appaears in game:

 

For example: Quick Combat / Free Flight; keyboard "Z" =Info (Cycle)

keyboard "F" =Tactical Display

keyboard "Z" =Info (Cycle) gives text on left side RED , 10(?) font, a bit too small to read .

keyboard "F" =Tactical Display gives text on left side BLUE, 10(?) font, a bit too small to read .

 

QUESTION:

1. How can I increase the font size (say to 12 ) ?

2. How can I change the font color to White ?

 

Thanks

Welcome over Flanders fields, Sparrowhawk!

The stuff you want to change should be in the ViewUI.xml - you find it here:

 

C:(your computer's name) > AppData > Roaming > Microsoft > CFSWW1 Over Flanders Fields

 

But I cannot tell you which of the many lines are for the fonts.

If you should find out, you could change them with Editor.

You should back up the original file before any changes.

 

The font colours would be hexadecimal number/letter combinations.

The colour white would be FFFFFF.

Hi there

 

 

The Z-Key display comes in that lovely red and nothing else.

 

Also, the in-game font sizes cannot be changed.

PS Can you tell us the dimensions of your display (both inches and pixels)?

 

I can easily believe that those fonts will get hard to see on a his-res screen.

Oh dear sounds like another feature request Rex

Wrong Smileys, Pol.

 

 

Hey, Sparrowhawk, if you delay the release of P4 with this - my friends fly Gothas!!!

Lol yeah I couldn't find that one Olham so showed poking a dead body with a stick after the event ;)

I guess that's how you devs must be feeling very often anyway.

Only that there would have to be hundreds of poking Smileys then.

OMG!

 

RexHannover has time to post! That must mean that most of the coding is finished! OFF 2 can't be far behind!!!

 

Right?
