Ships' names on map illegible

[stingray77]

After switching monitors to my 46" Bravia TV (see other thread if you wish) and re-adjusting to new resolution, I cannot read ships' names on the map anymore. Wingman's and other aircraft's labels can be read without issue but the ships' labels (and most probably land-targets, too - haven't checked that out, though) are far to small/blurred to be read... No change of their size by zooming in or out, btw.

Can their size be re-adjusted anywhere in the game, too?

Extract the HUDData.INI file from the Flight.CAT. Place it in the Flight folder in the appropriate SF2 install's Mods folder. Then open the HUDData.INI and look for the following entry.

 

[smallLabelFont]

TextFontName=Arial

TextSize=12

 

This controls the font type and text size of the labels.

Cool - many thanks... Haven't extracted CAT-files for decades, but should recall how to do while at it... Or maybe I will already find it extracted in my SF2V Expansion Pack...!?  Will see.

 

Thanks again!

Okay, I found the already extracted HUDDATA.INIs in my SF2NA's and SF2V's Flight folders - and both had TextSize 12 entered.

I played a bit with those values and found 18 to be the best matching size...

 

Still strange that only the ships' names (and not the aircraft's) were so tiny at the 12-setting - anyhow, appears to be solved now.

 

THANKS again!
