F18C - HUD Thickness..

[bond Villain]

Hi All.

I have moved to an Ultrawide monitor 5120x1440, the HUD is displaying in a very thick line compared to other resolutions selected, everything else in the cockpit or game is fine.

sorry for the poor image quality, can redo if needed, but you can see the thickness is crazy..

13900K, 4090 system so doubtful it’s the PC..

IIRC this is a known problem on non 16:9 aspect resolutions, ED is aware of it but the fix is yet to be made

It is and issue with ultra-wide resolutions there are two mods maybe will help. these will be removed when an update is installed. i believe this still works.

Hi,

I know it´s not a fix but did you try to lower the HUD brightness to see if it helps? in the pic you have the HUD brightness max.

Leave feedback please.

Welcome to widescreens! Give me a few min and I’ll post you screen shots of the lua files to edit.

file path at the top: it is in your dcs main install folder, NOT Saved Games, starting at 'mods' ...I just use ovgme so I don't have to re-do it every update...

I have the f-16 and harrier mods as well if you need them.. the a-10 is actually a texture file but there is a mod in user files for it, but its a bit too thin imo

-adjust stroke thickness and fuzziness to desired effect

The f-16 is worse than the 18 and the harrier is almost un-playable without adjusting the files.

I really wish ED would actually listen handle this, and the kneeboard. Its been going on for years now.

Brightness doesn't help much for this issue. The f-18 is actually not that bad compared to other aircraft. Lowering brightness just leaves you with dim fat lines and text LOL

hello. i have the f-16 and widescreen. i do not seem to have issue unless i am merely used to it. i do not have the variables for f-16 in same file as f-18 though i did find them.

StrokesDefs.lua

Quote

stroke_thickness  = 0.25
stroke_fuzziness  = 0.6

am i just lucky?

[bond Villain]

Thanks for all the replies and info. I’ll look tomorrow and let you know. Delighted there is a work around..
