Tutorial helper markers scaling in VR


Vakarian

Recommended Posts

First of all, sorry if I placed this in the wrong section.

 

 

I noticed some pretty frustrating issue while doing any tutorial mission (screenshot are from Ka-50 because of free trial :thumbup: ). When tutorial ask you to flip a certain switch(es) it marks it with a helper box. That's all fine and great but in VR that helper marker is way too big. I have tried using the VR zoom, but that doesn't help at all. Now, I know that it's centered on a switch I need to press, but it becomes a mess when you have multiple switches in close proximity and the mission marks them all (see screenshot HowItIsCurrently.png).

 

 

I'd like to ask for a possibility that those markers get smaller or at least some option for every player to set it's own scale of those markers. See screenshot (HowItShouldBe.png). While doing that startup mission, it took me around 3 minutes to figure out what does the marker mark as it was my first time in the Ka-50 cockpit and I had really no idea what does any switch mean.

 

 

Also, it wouldn't hurt to adjust those markers in the 2D version as well. What immediately comes to mind is the A-10C startup sequence where the boost pump switches are marked. With that amount of markers, they quickly become a clutter that masks the switches.

 

 

Regards,

While we wait for ED to make the cockpit highlights more thin on VR, I've opted to do the training missions on 2D mode only, where this is less of a problem, leaving VR only for operational missions.

Please don't!! For the sake of those people (like me), who don't have a proper 2D screen. I'd rather ditch that space consuming piece of history all together :P

 

Just make the yellow indications smaller. They'd still be properly visible in 2D, just a bit smaller

I mean, even in 2D they aren't really optimal so some adjustments are necessary. If they could make it as an option with some sliders adjusting thickness and the scale, that would be the perfect solution. Even more now that they implemented custom graphics presets so we can save one preset for 2D and one for VR
