Perhaps, it is the real behaviour / color of labels for the TGP and Maverik MFD pages, but the white/gray labels are terrible readable with the background image also in grayscale.

The FCR and HSD pages can show color elements, so it would be great to have colored button labels (e.g. blue). Even known, that a real pilot doesn't need the labels - he / she already knows the button location for the desired function...

The labels have a black outline of 1 pixel to give good contrast against a light video image.

I am sure they have, but nevertheless it's eye training on VR.

The real Viper avionics has a "high vis" display mode, which swaps all the white text to bright yellow. I don't think this was a pilot-selectable change, and different squadrons seemed to implement it at different times. Not sure when that started to be a thing, it may be out of time from for the DCS Viper.

Interesting...

That would make a cool "Special Options" checkbox if it would be something appropriate for the jet in the sim. Was it definitely used by USAF?

Certainly make things easier on the eyes for us VR guys.

The visibility of MFD options can be challenging, as you can see in the image. This is the AGM-65 display and I cannot see any option for it.

"In the year of our Viper" they couldn't read the options😅

1-pixel black stroke around white text on video formats

Is that how it's implemented right now? Cause I got confused as I did not see that in the above image I posted.

Makes me wish they would just overhaul the mfd's completely to improve readability.

 

Trying to read the mfds through the fake screen door effect while wearing a vr headset with real screen door effect is terrible.
