Help displaying weapon, radar distance, etc on screen

[mateho9]

Hi all, 

 

When playing Wings Over Europe whenever I select weapon, change radar setting, gear etc it all shows up in a small box at the bottom. It tells me what weapon is selected and radar distance, i'm sure you know what i'm talking about. But when I play Strike Fighters 2 this box does not appear. Did anyone else have this problem? I have deselected then selected subtitles as its the only setting that was different from WoE.

 

*edit: I wanted to also add that time compression does show up in the box as well as pause and unpause.

 

Thanks

This is controlled by the MESSAGESYSTEM config file in the FLIGHT folder.

Mine looks like this

TextFontName=Arial
TextSize=15

[MessageSystem]
MaxMessages=1
MessageTime=2.0
MessageFadeTime=3.0

;MaxMessages=25
;MessageTime=200
;MessageFadeTime=2.5

[MessageWindow]
BackgroundImage=TextBackground.tga
TopLeftPosition=0.01,0.845
BottomRightPosition=0.210,0.865
VerticalBorder=0.0015
HorizontalBorder=0.008

;TopLeftPosition=0.2,0.2
;BottomRightPosition=0.8,0.985
;VerticalBorder=0.0015
;HorizontalBorder=0.008

 

Best to use extractor file to get it to show up. If your WOE version is working, copy it across to your WOV flight folder
