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

Recommended Posts

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.

 

c'est la vie dans P3

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.

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. :hyper:
