HUD text size

[Holton181]

A small question about some small things, i.e. the letters and numbers on the HUD.

Is there a way to increase them?

A mod of some sort?

 

I'm using TrackIR and prefer not to zoom every single time I like to glance at the HUD, but can't read any alfanumerics at all otherwise.

 

Thanks

it is possible on A10c by modifing the HUD_definitions.lua in

\Mods\aircrafts\A-10C\Cockpit\Scripts\HUD\Indicator\HUD_definitions. lua

 

maybe its possible on the viggen too, im not at home so i cant check if that lua file is also for the viggen HUD in the viggen directory of course. You should find a HUD definitions lua in the viggen directory maybe its called HUD init or somthing else. maybe someone with a dcs installation can show you the right Lua file.

Thanks whaaw, I'll have a look as soon as I get the time.

Found it!

\Mods\aircraft\AJS37\Cockpit\scripts\HeadUpDisplay\Indicator\indication_page.lua

 

line 163 (compassnrheight [compass nr height]) and 164 (compassnrwidth).

Tweak the numbers before the parenthesis.

Gets a little bit misaligned with the virtual horizon lines, but nothing one can't live with. This can most likely be corrected elsewhere in the same file.

Thanks again whaaw for pointing me in the right direction!

 

Another thing I didn't think of before was that the initial zoom out after mission start doesn't zoom to the default zoom level corresponding to pressing NUM ENTER, but further away from the HUD. But hitting NUM ENTER of course affects FOV too.
