Chesster Posted April 26, 2023 Posted April 26, 2023 My apologies if this question has been asked and answered before. I have an F10 menucommand "Mission Status" that runs a function returning an on screen text. Due to the font used in DCS, all characters have different pixel width. So even when adding blank spaces to make each string x-numbers wide, it still doesn't look good: So the question is: Is there a clever way of formatting the text so that it aligns properly without creating a new line ? ("\t" doesn't work)
Grimes Posted April 26, 2023 Posted April 26, 2023 Yeah that has been another one of those longstanding behaviors that we can't really do anything about. Best we can do is to try and match it up as close as possible. I'll see about re-raising the issue. 1 The right man in the wrong place makes all the difference in the world.

Wrecking Crew Posted April 27, 2023 Posted April 27, 2023 That's a LOT of targets! Visit the Hollo Pointe DCS World server -- an open server with a variety of COOP & H2H missions including Combined Arms. All released missions are available for free download, modification and public hosting, from my Wrecking Crew Projects site.

It's a mission I've created more or less only to learn how to script using Lua and MIST. I've basically used the 4YA servers as inspiration and tried to achieve something similar. Again, only for the learning experience.
