Shrike88 Posted March 12, 2022 Share 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 Share 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 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shrike88 Posted March 23, 2022 Author Share Posted March 23, 2022 agreed, thanks for the info guys ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ED Team BIGNEWY Posted March 27, 2022 ED Team Share 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 2 Forum rules - DCS Crashing?

Jestr Posted January 30, 2023 Share 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! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tuturuu Posted February 4, 2023 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skywalker22 Posted February 4, 2023 Share 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. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VarZat Posted February 4, 2023 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
broderbund67 Posted February 20, 2023 Share Posted February 20, 2023 For those wondering, you can see how the black outline looks like in real life. Hope this will help with readability https://youtube.com/watch?v=3h0bRKUpPW4&feature=shares&t=50 3 1 Asus z170i pro gaming MB / i7-6700K OC 4.5Ghz / Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1070 G1 8GD / Ram 16gb DDR4 DRAM 3000MHz / SSD 500Gb / Oculus Rift S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shrike88 Posted April 12 Author Share Posted April 12 unfortunately still difficult to see as of April 2024. Also the yellow mod no longer works. Breaks some functionality in the different pages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
