Taz1004 Posted April 9, 2023 Share Posted April 9, 2023 (edited) This is another one I've been using which I haven't shared yet. Some may find it useful. By default, on screen text is too large for me in VR. Often overlays on my cockpit if the message is long. This mod reduces the font. Also makes comm menu to be smaller. They look too small in the comparison below but they look right in VR. Reduced Text Font With comm menu ADJUSTMENTS: Onscreen message font sizes are adjusted by line 148, 255, 340, 462 of gameMessages.dlg. Default font size is 20. Comm menu fonts are adjusted by line 49 of CommandMenu.lua NOTES: Passes IC Even with this mod installed, it doesn't change the font size in 2D. This only affects VR. INSTALL: Files go into main DCS install path. Mod Manager recommended.

zildac Posted April 9, 2023 Share Posted April 9, 2023 @Taz1004 Thanks! This is really useful, it's especially annoying in Through the Inferno for example where there are regular messages re AWACS etc 12900KF | Maximus Hero Z690 | ASUS 4090 TUF OC | 64GB DDR5 5200 | DCS on 2TB NVMe | WarBRD+Warthog Stick | CM3 | TM TPR's | Varjo Aero Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KCOOL Posted April 10, 2023 Share Posted April 10, 2023 Is this also working for aircraft, ground and missile names over those units? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muellerman Posted April 19, 2023 Share Posted April 19, 2023 Thanks a lot for this mod!!!!! I always wondered, why nobody else is complaining about this huge text size in VR. Especially when playing TTI. With this mod it is still readable and the text messages do not occupier the whole view! Absolutely awesome! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hiob Posted November 17, 2023 Share Posted November 17, 2023 @Taz1004 Hi Taz, do you know if there is a similar way to increase the font-size of the telemetry overlay (ctrl+pause)? ty 1 "Muß ich denn jedes Mal, wenn ich sauge oder saugblase den Schlauchstecker in die Schlauchnut schieben?"

I use VoiceAttack to enable/disable everything. Might look into it again! Sent from my SM-A536B using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zrad Posted November 24, 2023 Share Posted November 24, 2023 When ED added the scrollable radio/command window, CommandMenu.lua received a substantial increase of lines of code, until Taz updates his download, I would recommend everyone go find their vanilla version and modify their font size themselves. If you currently install this mod (as of writing this) and you lose that feature, this is why. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tweaker_Vincent Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 I have some issues with the subtitles AND tasks within the DCA f18 rising squall campaign. Without any modding, the subtitles overlap the tasks (upper right corner). Is there an option to fix this? Maybe cut off the subtitles so more lines are used?
