[NO BUG] [VR] altitude, fuel and gun rounds gauges are hard to read

Hi,

 

Some gauges are very hard to read in VR, and not because they are small. Even leaning forward doesn't help. It is because of low contrast between color of digits and their background. For example - two first digits of barometric altitude indicator, remaining fuel, Bingo Fuel.

 

The another issue comes with the counter that shows how many rounds are remaining for a gun. I did try several times, with different lightning, but I cannot read it in VR. The glass cover is just too weathered.

 

Thanks for checking.

Yeah experiencing same. Bind VR Zoom in UI controls category helps a bit but is very disorienting. What will be perfect if ED can change VR tooltips so it will contains current control setting - like "Tacan Knob: 7", "Formation Lights: On" and add possibility to add hovering tooltip over indicators you named so it will read "Gun: 500".

 

 

Just for VR I edited vrtooltip file to make fontsize set to 35 to be readable.

Lets bring this up again... as I have just re-started learning the Tomcat in VR again esp. the Tacan knob drives me really crazy when trying to set the right channels in VR. And using the (already bad) VR zoom function doesn't help much, because its rather impossible to twist your head so that the Tacan knob comes into sight. That goes for other settings like those mentioned above as well.
