FPS indicator turns Red

[Paveway333]

Hi, recently after a computer restart my DCS performance has degraded significantly, one thing I noticed ingame was the built in FPS indicator has turned red instead of yellow... Any ideas?

 

 

Repaired DCS without any luck.

 

i7 4790k, GTX 1080, 16gb ram, ssd

that's a new "feature"

 

maybe you can change that in a .lua file, but i don't know

Ok, well is the "new" FPS indicator always red, or does it turn red when something is wrong?

 

Going from Open Beta to Stable and back again to see if it fixes the problem

The FPS indicator is RED now, it does not change.

I wonder what the idea behind changing the colour was, because it seems whoever came up with it, wanted to make the info more difficult to read :D. Instead of increasing the letter-background contrast, as the simple logics would indicate, first they lowered it in fast mission editor menu, now did the same for the fps and diag tool.

 

As if the info wasn't difficult to read enough already, with the dreaded tiny font on high-rez screens!

With red I find it easier to read, the yellow against bright backgrounds made it difficult for me.

Well, they could at least make it more vibrant, saturated red, instead of this half-pinky-half-violet-whatever, faded something. Would be better against both lighter and darker backgrounds I presume.

I use this instead:

Mine is yellow. Use F12 to move it around the monitor's 4 corners in DCS.

 

I am red / green colorblind.
