Tooltips Cluttering FOV In Major Way

[twobells]

The tool tips which are such a useful tool in 2D become nothing but an utter and complete nuisance in VR, they seem to 'stick' in place and you cannot under any circumstances turn them off. This is a major flaw to the current build.

 

thanks in advance

You can turn them off - unless you are on a multiplayer server where they have been set to a specific value in the mission editor.

 

Look in the Options-Gameplay tab for the tooltips check box and simply uncheck it.

 

For multiplayer, it is up to the mission designer to enforce/prohibit them.

TwoBells,

I agree the tooltips are very problematic for VR users. One the box does not need to be 20 lines long, if the tools tips is that big someone should reading from the manual 2,3 lines is more appropriate, five max. Two the transparency of the box could be increased so only the text is shown, this should reduce the amount of interference of other gauges. the problem with the current transparency is that at night with NV on the boxes become very difficult to find the correct switch in the cockpit. we also can not rely on mission designers to set this setting to tooltips on but not enforced and even if they did the functionality is problematic at best.

 

so two suggestions for the devs:

1 - make the box dynamic to the amount of text

2 - turn the transparency up to almost full

 

thanks
