reported Weird behavior with mission generated messages display position

[Flappie]

Thank you. I don't have VAICOM pro, but I'm pretty sure it has nothing to do with it.

The other differences I've spotted are these:

I have no idea what your custom shaders are for, but I guess it's not a shader issue either.

The last one, the scratchpad mod, looks like a good candidate. Can you please disable the scratchpad mod and see if the issue is stll here?

I don't know if this has been reported, but previously when we hit the communications menu it was on top of the captions (subtitles) box (if there was any subtittle shown at that moment.

Since 2.8 that subtitles box moves down below the menu communications, so it allows read of both suttittles and menu.. which is fine.... BUT the problem comes with VR as it is too near our normal vission. Could it be possible to leave the subittles above the menus, so the menus are the ones that appear below the subtittles. At the end we are the one that choose or not the menus, but subtittles sometimes appears when you don't expect them. 

Thanks!

I have the same problem. Well kind of. With me, it's actually the other way round. The standard display is low and restricted to 2 lines (see first picture - sorry for the bad resolution). The Moment I hit the comms menu the message moves up and expands (see second screenshot - it's the same message just after opening the comms menu).

So I regularily have to hit the comms button to be able to read the messages. And that get's annoying. Anyway, I'm having that issue since 2.5 and haven't been able to fix it.
I've tried some stuff from this thread:

and this thread

and this thread

but nothing seems to work in VR.

 

I would really appreciate a fix.

@Japo32 Is this still an issue?

[Japo32]

yes. Still is an issue. If I don't press the comms menu, the captions will be where they have to (up right) but If I access the menu while captions, the menu will go on top right, and captions will be lower than menu. In VR with certain large captions can be very difficult to access some instruments in some aircrafts.
