okieordie78 Posted July 24, 2016 Posted July 24, 2016 I know this isn't limited to the F5...but I never deal with the radio unless I'm flying and giving commands to the wingies... BUT...On the ground, in the dark, black text is unreadable. I don't have the commands memorized to just ignore it. Is there a mod that changes the black text to another color? (Yellow, green, purple...you get it) I've looked, searched and googled and nothing fits the bill. Even a way for me to change it would be sufficient. TIA!
Yurgon Posted July 24, 2016 Posted July 24, 2016 Don't have the F-5 yet, but the dark text is limited to "Easy communication" enabled in the options, I believe. Maybe it's ED's way to punish players for not using the more realistic comms. :D Anyway, personally, I prefer "Easy comms" off; it means I do have to dial in the correct frequencies and have to select the correct radio when transmitting, and the exact usage differs from aircraft to aircraft, but all things considered, it's fairly simple to learn, and some missions/campaigns actually require realistic comms. So now would be as good a time as any to take the plunge. :smartass: Don't know of any mods in order to change the font color for Easy Comms, sorry.

Flagrum Posted July 25, 2016 Posted July 25, 2016 Iirc, black text is used when "radio assists" is enabled to indicate that the recipient is unavailable (i.e. due to wrong freq.).

That is correct...but the ground crew should always be available. Don't have the F-5 yet, but the dark text is limited to "Easy communication" enabled in the options, I believe.

I haven't messed with the radios for a few reasons. 1) Kinda bugged anyway (ATC is at least), B) I have a hard time seeing some of the details in the cockpits and the F5 is way harder for me. 3) I'm just really, REALLY lazy. lol
