Can you include a picture/screenshot?

What resolution are you running?

Hi there. Not to sound totally obvious, but did you set your in game options, like cockpit display resolution, MSAA, anisotropic filter, etc?

Hi, I'm not OP but also have the same issue.

Cockpit Displays at max setting (fonts are not affected by this setting), MSAA 2x or 4x won't make a difference. Anisotropic filter at 16x.

The issue happens when you're zoomed out. The fonts on the displays starts getting fuzzy in comparison to the HUD. Which is very crispy regardless.

I got used to this. I'm comfortable to an extent.

There is a cockpit texture mod for the Hornet, called Clean Pit F/A-18C HORNET cleanpit (digitalcombatsimulator.com). I found interesting that, the fonts on this mod (outside the displays) are crispier than the default textures regardless of the zoom level without getting the fuzzy effect.

I'm running at 1080p (I know the limitations) but I found interesting that it is possible to have a crispier text. Maybe on DDI are also possible.

Two of my shots are from the default cockpit textures (textures that have wear bellow the HUD). One looking down the cockpit and the other is at sunset lighting.
One is using cleanpit (textures without wear bellow the hud). Has the Hornet nose up with a lock onto a target.

Just for comparison.

On the Cleanpit mod, you can see the difference between the cockpit fonts and the DDI fonts.

Looks good, does it pass integrity check for MP servers? 

[Czar66]

Cleanpit does pass IC. Keep in mind it won't modify anything on the displays and gets a bit dull without the wear from the default textures.

seems like i'm not the only on with this issue ,i wonder if the developers are even aware of the issue?

[demon702]

still haven't found a work around or a fix . is there a way to enlarge the font size in the left and right ddi ?

We are not seeing a bug here, the font size is correct. I am not aware of any mods to adjust it sorry.
