nickos86 Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 Hi, I find it very hard to read any on the numbers or even understand the symbols in the FCR/MFD pages. The fonts are tiny and without zooming in it nearly impossible to read the height of the bandit, the threat number in the middle of a threat circle etc. ED - Is that the real font size? should it be bigger? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raus Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 I would agree with OP. Makes it really frustrating, specially flying in VR, and having to lean to read the MFDs, makes me feel like a grandpa :( I cannot believe it would be so in RL, although I haven‘t been in a real F-16 cockpit GV5Js DATACARD GENERATOR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vatikus Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 I've made a little font mod regarding slashed 0 which was really a pain to diff vs 8 in VR... Hopefully it will be of help to some... https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3308322/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll put it in our squadron sticky, this is a huge improvement over the default and I've often had issues trying to discern whether some guy is a 18k ft or 10k ft for instance. This is one of the things that has really bothered me about the FCR setup but only recently thought to modify the font. I cannot believe such a basic usability issue would exist in the real jet. There is literally no reason to try to have crossed zeros, this is a standard way to distinguish them against the letter "o" in normal text but you pretty much never have letters in your FCR.. Even the double digit < 10k ft display of "00" is a little questionable but I can see some software arguments behind that.. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RackMonkey Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 I agree but I would apply the complaint to all aircraft, at least the one that I have. I bought a 40" TV to play on to try and get the instruments size as close to real life as I can. It didn't work. The F16 is still to small to read and I'll bet the pilot doesn't have to lean forward to read their MFD's. That would be fun trying to do that from a seat leaned back at 30 degrees and pulling a few G's. The F18 is just the opposite. Everything on the MFD's are so stretched out and fuzzy the that they look to be out of focus. The only way to make them usable is a MOD that I found but I still have to modify that also. AND THIS MOD ISN'T SEEN IF I INSTALL IT IN THE SAVED GAMES FOLDER. I have to install it in the program folder. But that's another issue I'm trying to find a solution for. I really don't see how you guys with the computer monitors can even play. The symbols would be so small that you would need a magnifying glass to see them.

Tenkom Posted May 24, 2020 Share Posted May 24, 2020 BMS has an option to enlargen MFD symbols and text which is on by default. This makes me think that in real life the text is probably this small. I hope ED can give us such an option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
