Kadin Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 I have just updated to Stable 2.7 and I think the new "Dot Neutral" option is a concept of a genius!! A little tinkering to bring the dot closer to the plane mass and it is perfect Thank you! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I freaking hate dots/labels, but being a 4K user it seems they're absolutely necessary to maintain SA.

Kadin Posted June 17, 2021 Author Share Posted June 17, 2021 (edited) The "Dot Neutral", scripted into the Labels.lua file and activated through your Options menu as with the other Label options, sets a Neutral color symbol for all Aircrafts, Ground, Naval and Aerial weaponry which seems to scale with the users resolution (I have to assume that it is a little more complicated than the word I use). As with the other options, the Dot Neutral is customizable. A few things to remember: --Customize a copy of the labels.lua after you copy it from the main C:\...\DCS World\Config\View\ to :C:\Users\YourName\Saved Games\DCS\Config\View --If you are making a mission you need to enable the option under "Customize"-->"Mission Options" in the Mission Editor's top bar --If you also need to run this mission on a Dedicated server, you need to drag a copy of "labels.lua" file into the .miz file, in the appropriate folder \config\view. If those subfolders do not exist, you need to create them first. If you need any further info on how to do that, let me know. I have tried to create the same effect with the existing "DOT" system but I could not make it look decent for all resolutions. I fly in VR with a rift S and my wingman is on a Ultra wide Screen. If I made the dot to look nice and more realistic for my view, my wingman could not see it. If I increased the size for his viewing, it looked terribly blocky in mine. However now, the new addition seems to look nice and "realistic" to both our systems with the same settings. I am attaching my customized labels.lua file to get a better idea. As always, I welcome feedback Labels.lua Edited June 17, 2021 by Kadin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DmitriKozlowsky Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 I dunno. Does not seem to work at all. I don't see any dots for units while flying. Same for Symbol Only option. Nope nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kadin Posted June 19, 2021 Author Share Posted June 19, 2021 DmitriKozlowsky, I don't have enough information from your post to respond helpfully but I have moved the progression of this idea to a more appropriate area: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
