Shrike88 Posted March 12, 2022 Posted March 12, 2022 Some really large issues with Readability and VR associated with the white menu lettering and font, when using certain page. The Yellow and green mods help somewhat. Is there the ability in the real viper to change the color of the MFD menu lettering, as seen in the AV-8 ? If not is there any planned consideration for the Symb brightness function being increased beyond current values ? There are lots of closed forum posts and no longer updates ones regarding this.

Yes. I don't know how it works in the AV-8B but in the F-16 you can change the colour of pretty much any MFD symbology or text you can think of via the data cartridge. It's not implemented at this time though. Edited March 12, 2022 by WHOGX5 3 -Col.

Bunny Clark Posted March 16, 2022 Posted March 16, 2022 The F-16 avionics have a "high vis" mode that can be enabled in software, it turns all the text bight yellow. It seems to have been enabled on a per-squadron basis, starting a year or two after our Viper is modeled unfortunately. 1 Oil In The Water Hornet Campaign.

Fulgrim Posted March 23, 2022 Posted March 23, 2022 The problem is that the MFD white text doesn't seem to have a black outline, making it impossible to see in many WoW situations like TGP or Maverick. 2
ED Team BIGNEWY Posted March 27, 2022 ED Team Posted March 27, 2022 black outlines will come later to sensor MPD pages for MC controlled labels. Other colours would not be realistic for our Viper at 2007. thanks 1 3 Forum rules - DCS Crashing?

Posohm Posted January 30, 2023 Posted January 30, 2023 Just want to bump this so that it is not forgotten to add black outlines. White on grey, especially in VR is really hard to see clearly. Black outlines make a world of difference! 3
Tuturuu Posted February 4, 2023 Posted February 4, 2023 There is a very cool mod on user files replicating MFD yellow font of the F16 MLU that i love (Am belgian and this + black mod and i feel like having a MLU Falcon hehe). However it currently impossible to do without breaking IC, would it be possible to ease access to those settings for this kind of mods ? I know cockpit colors are not breaking IC, so it might be possible to allow access to few more lines ? I'm no expert of course but i think the font color is a preference thing for squadrons, a lot of bl.50 and 52 are using yellow and green font (sometime even for different MFDs as we can see few precious cool pictures online). Now i don't know how it would be easy for a pilot to change them 1
skywalker22 Posted February 4, 2023 Posted February 4, 2023 Would be cool if ED embeds few different types of font colors, specially because these white/gray are so damn hard to read on some of the MFD screens, like AG radar. 3
VarZat Posted February 4, 2023 Posted February 4, 2023 I have the green MFD font mod and it does not break IC. Make sure you install in the right place. It might break IC after you have joined a server and flown a little but you can just restart the game and it should clear out
broderbund67 Posted February 20, 2023 Posted February 20, 2023 For those wondering, you can see how the black outline looks like in real life.

Shrike88 Posted April 12, 2024 Author Posted April 12, 2024 unfortunately still difficult to see as of April 2024. Also the yellow mod no longer works. Breaks some functionality in the different pages.
Stroke 3 Posted August 9, 2024 Posted August 9, 2024 The mfds should have black outline around its text for better visibility.

OldFlyer Posted August 10, 2024 Posted August 10, 2024 The thread that was linked was from March 2022, so I would presume - no 2
Stroke 3 Posted August 12, 2024 Posted August 12, 2024 Will it really take this long just for adding a simple black outlines on text? 1
Voy Posted August 16, 2024 Posted August 16, 2024 This used to be on the roadmap a few months ago, but was quietly removed... 1
Stroke 3 Posted August 16, 2024 Posted August 16, 2024 I wonder how many more years this will take to be added.
Stroke 3 Posted August 21, 2024 Posted August 21, 2024 If I were to guess when this feature will come to the F-16 I would guess probably when the sniper xr atp comes out.
Stroke 3 Posted September 13, 2024 Posted September 13, 2024 @BIGNEWYSrry for the ping but is this being worked on yet or is it still just being "planed" because this is fairly important in my opinion? Also is this coming soon? This has been 2 years. 3

Shrike88 Posted September 28, 2024 Author Posted September 28, 2024 (edited) Seems last couple updates this Module is all but not abandonware but not far off. Bug fixes on some of the updates however when you read it into them it seems we are missing the forrest for the trees anymore and they are just adding lines of text to show "something is getting done" however there has been quite some time that anything new was added or features completed. Still waiting on many other things like damage model and all other from the long post from WHOGX5 made quite some time ago. Guess ED is on to the next big thing, Sad really but we are at the point like many other modules before where its done and will be the slow trickle of feature creep. Any comments otherwise will be un based or just purely speculation. Proof is in the pudding. Might as well just close this thread as its just not happening. Edited September 28, 2024 by Shrike88 2
