Problem reading text labels on buttons in cockpit

[Gosche]

Hi all,

 

A question from a complete newbie, in both DCS and flightsim.

I have DCS worlds 1.5.8 and trying to learn to fly the A-10C.

My problem is with the text labels on the buttons, not all of them.

The button text on the front dash looks fine, and the same goes

for the right and left consoles, but only on the buttons near the front.

The further away from the front the button text is, the more blurry it gets.

the button text at the "back", of the left and right consoles are not readable,

it looks like very poor resolution. Bad situation when in "learning mode" and

cannot read the labels properly.

 

I've watched a lot of instruction videos, and they look fine when describing

and zooming in on the buttons at the back of the cockpit.

 

Can it be a setting somewhere that I haven't located yet, even I have been

playing around with graphics setting, and it has not helped.

I'm running a resolution of 1920x1080. I could go to 3840x2160 but since the PC

also is being used for other application, where everything then becomes very small

to look at, I have kept it at 1920x1080.

 

My pc specs are:

i7-4770K 3,5 GHz, 16 GB Ram (2100MHz), MSI GTX 1080Ti Gaming, 2x500GB SSD in RAID0

(Samsung EVO), Trackir5 (and Oculus rift for VR).

 

Any suggestion please for improving the readability of the cockpit text ?

 

Many thanks in advance.:helpsmilie:

Hi. Welcome to DCS and forums. :)

 

Could you please provide some shots of your "settings page" and some shots from those blurry scenes from your aircraft?

 

So, we can help you directly.

Hi Devrim,

 

Thanks for the welcome and you taking the time to assist :)

 

I've taken a few screenshots, and circled some of the issues.

Hope you from that can see what I mean.

I also include a screenshot of my settings.

 

Thanks again and best regards

Change cockpit res to 1024 from 512 ;)

Set your Textures to "High".

Setting textures to high did the trick :thumbup::)

 

Thanks for your help

Cockpit res is the resolution of the displays, not the textures. Only effects things like the MFDs/targeting pod/shikval.

I've made request before, to have cockpit textures as a different option..... but to no avail

You’ve got a very good hardware, even GPU has a great power.. so You have no problem to switch almost all options to Hi-Res.. everything will look better, not only A-10 cockpit.

For cockpit Res I have “1024 every frame”. All other values to high.

This mod helps with clarity of cockpit labels as well
