GregP Posted July 4, 2023 Posted July 4, 2023 (edited) I run a 32:9 resolution (7680x2160) and the HUD font becomes way too thick and fuzzy when zoomed out a 'normal' distance - attached is a cropped image of what it looks like. In other modules like the F-16 and F-18, lua files can be modified to improve the look of the font and make it less thick, but I haven't yet been able to find something similar in the F-15E's files. Has anyone else had any luck if they've noticed the same issue? Edited July 4, 2023 by GregP 1
Solution GregP Posted January 28, 2024 Author Solution Posted January 28, 2024 (edited) Six months later and I finally solved it! Actually I put DCS aside for several months and just came back to it, and this problem continued to bug me, so I kept at it. Initially the different folder structure of the F-15E compared to say, the F-16C and F/A-18C, which had known solutions to the same problem, confused me, as I was trawling through several LUA files trying to find the same parameters. But then finally today I found the very simple solution, which actually is the same fix that the F-16 and F-18 use - I hadn't realized the F-15E has the same file: you have to edit the Display_StrokeDefs.lua file in X:\DCS World OpenBeta\Mods\aircraft\F-15E\Cockpit\Displays\. Default vaules are: stroke_thickness = 0.6 stroke_fuziness = 0.4 Which I changed to 0.2 and 0.4, respectively, which looks good on my 7680x2160 resolution. Hope this helps somebody else too!

maverick90 Posted April 23, 2024 Posted April 23, 2024 I play in 4K and also have this problem with the HUD elements being too thick. I've posted about this issue years ago and it seems like the problem still exists for me. I notice this in the F16 and F18 that I fly in. I have also tried that fix that you mentioned. Somebody posted that file and I downloaded and replaced it for the F18 and it didn't seem to change anything. But I will give your solution a try and see it it fixes it.
maverick90 Posted April 23, 2024 Posted April 23, 2024 I don't seem to have a file called Display_StrokeDefs.lua in my X:\DCS World OpenBeta\Mods\aircraft\FA-18C\Cockpit folder at all. There is no 'Displays' Folder in there.
