ThorBrasil Posted December 8, 2023 Share Posted December 8, 2023 (edited) As the title already says, the hud lines and fonts have been in bold for many years. To this day it has never been corrected. Razbam did something on the Mirage 2000C that I corrected, but on ED modules and others the problem persists. I usually reduce the resolution of the DCS to leave one side of the monitor 21:9 to create missions. And on the other side to use watching videos etc. In reduced resolution, all HUDs are correct and easy to read. Please ED, fix this issue. Ask how razbam solved this problem with the Mirage 2000C and apply it to your modules. Thank you very much!

Bumping for visuals This bug has been around for years and has never been fixed. It should be high priority. I don't believe it's that complex to fix. Please @NineLine. Pass this on to the team. Currently it is very bad to read the HUD.

Vakarian Posted December 11, 2023 Share Posted December 11, 2023 Yep. I've known for this for at least 3-4 years. Think there were more forum posts regarding this, but it looks like it never got on the TODO list. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flappie Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 I'm checking all modules before reporting this issue. Can you please confirm the AH-64 module is not affected by this issue? Another point I'd like to check with you guys: I think this problem is the same when zooming out. Do we agree on this? Don't accept indie game testing requests from friends in Discord. Ever.

Vakarian Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 I cannot right now confirm that Apache is not affected, buuuut when looking at Wags' videos, what I see in the video and what I see during playing is pretty much the same so I would dare to say Apache is not affected. Here's a quick comparison what I managed to scrounge through my screenshots (after the font update) and one of Wags' videos. About the zoom, it's not affecting anything at all. Zooming in or out, lines are still "wrong" on the 21:9 aspect ratio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flappie Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 (edited) I'm using a 3440x1440 monitor (21:9), yet when I run DCS in 2560x1440, I find HUD characters still being as bold as in 3440x1440 (I mean, in a bad way). Here's the result of my test of recent (or recently remade) modules, using the zoom in / zoom out comparison: Affected: F-16C F/A-18C Ka-50 AV-8B Unaffected: AH-64 F-15E A-10C Example: Here's what we have in DCS for the F-16C (screenshots were taken at different zoom levels): One can see the dashes slowly turn into a solid line. This should not happen. And here's what it would look like if the boldness was constant (I duplicated the larger screenshot above and reduced its size): Dashes stay dashes.

Loukuins Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 I agree sometimes on 21:9 to read HUDs are a struggle, even on a QD-OLED monitor... My Setup : i5-4690 3.50GHz + 24GB RAM DDR3 1600MHz + MSI RTX 2060 Super Ventus OC + 2 SSD + 4 HDD + Oculus Rift CV1 + TM T.16000M Hotas Super Etendard for Life !

maverick90 Posted Tuesday at 03:04 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 03:04 PM I posted about this issue about 4 years ago right when the hornet got released and sad to see that it still exists. Please ED, can you fix this for those of us who play at higher resoluions? It's a pretty big issue because you're constantly lookint at the main hud. The font, lines, symbology is too thick and bold. How come the HUD on the HMD looks right. But not the main HUD? If you can get the main HUD to look as sharp and crisp as the HMD's, that would be much better.
