Topgun505 Posted February 16, 2019 Posted February 16, 2019 With 2k and 4k monitors in widespread use these days ... the on-screen text can get really difficult to read. The radio communications window and the multiplayer chat windows in particular. It would be nice if DCS either autoscaled the fonts as it relates to the chosen resolution, or ... better yet ... just give the user the option to change the font size for himself in the gui interface (so he doesn't have to be messing with the lua code). Maytbe give the option change font color as well (the blue font in the multiplayer screen can be devilishly hard to read ... and when you combine it with tiny font on a high res screen it becomes impossible).

I'll second that particularly colour change options. Old farts like me have more and more troubles with colour and text size. Maybe even some of the younger guns as well:) Intel i7-7700@3.6GHz 16GB NVIDIA GeForce GTX1060 6GB

Eldur Posted February 21, 2019 Posted February 21, 2019 This has been brought up so often now I still wonder why nothing happened. Scale GUI does absolutely nothing BTW. At least on a 1920 screen.
Drag80 Posted February 21, 2019 Posted February 21, 2019 Well....this is quite strange that previously I also used to have this problem in 4k. However, in some of the previos updates, they have fixed the text size problem. I dont have this problem anymore. Fully readible text here.

At least on a 1920 screen. OP was asking about 2k and 4k screens. 1920 is just below 2k according to https://www.tomshardware.com/news/2k-definition,37641.html Windows 10 64bit, Intel i9-9900@5Ghz, 32 Gig RAM, MSI RTX 3080 TI, 2 TB SSD, 43" 2160p@1440p monitor.
