Steve Gee Posted February 29, 2020 Posted February 29, 2020 There's an entry in the graphics.lua to change the FPS color from red to yellow, just remove the comment bars. The yellow is SO much easier to see and evidently, someone else thought so and began the process to change it within DCS some how it looks like with that section in the graphics.lua So, how about a button somewhere in the Settings section to change it to yellow, and other colors, so we don't have to edit it EVERY time we repair DCS?

Hunter_5E Posted February 29, 2020 Posted February 29, 2020 Mine has always been yellow by default and I can't remember ever seeing it in red. How did yours end up being red in the first place?
Steve Gee Posted February 29, 2020 Author Posted February 29, 2020 Mine comes red. Yellow only if I edit the graphics.lua file each time.

Hunter_5E Posted February 29, 2020 Posted February 29, 2020 This is my default graphics.lua file. Are your values different?
Hunter_5E Posted February 29, 2020 Posted February 29, 2020 Here's an extract from the graphics_readme.txt that's right next to the graphics.lua file:- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hi! Old graphics.cfg is gone and replaced with graphics.lua. However, please, do not edit this file directly. Otherwise you'll lose your changes after each update. New method for overriding options is to create (or edit) a file C:\Users\<YOUR-LOGIN>\Saved Games\DCS\Config\autoexec.cfg ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Follow that to keep your changes with each update.
Hunter_5E Posted March 1, 2020 Posted March 1, 2020 +1 for FPS colour choice in settings. Despite my posts above, I actually agree that it would be nice to have an option in game to choose FPS display colours. Meantime, here's a handy RGB colour code reference for anyone wanting to change their FPS display colour. https://www.rapidtables.com/web/color/RGB_Color.html
Cy-27 Posted March 1, 2020 Posted March 1, 2020 The font are too small and cannot be ajusted. I hope it can be enlarged so that I will watch it more comfortable.
Steve Gee Posted March 1, 2020 Author Posted March 1, 2020 This is my default graphics.lua file. Are your values different? Looks like it. I just remove those two " -- " in front of the RGB reference line and viola! Yellow. :) If not, it's red as can be and much harder to see.

Hunter_5E Posted March 1, 2020 Posted March 1, 2020 I said mine were yellow by default but they're actually more orangey yellow. Anyways, strange that we both get different default colours. No idea why. Thought I'd change mine to light blue, so I tried putting the command into the autoexec.cfg file but couldn't get it to work in there. Had to uncomment the line in Graphics.lua to get it to work.
