Hello, and first of all, congratulations and thank you very much for your work @CapnCoke
This is also happening at JHMC (at least to me). The font looks too blurry.

 

 

Could you please review it (if it's not really just me, of course).

 

Thanks again.

Actually I like the blurry color on the HUD, is it a way that I can set same blurry color to the JHMCS?

Hi. Sorry I've taken a long break. Took a look at it and yes it does seem that using JHMCS II, the text and symbology is too thick that it makes it look blurry. Something has changed and I got to take a deeper look.

You mean the color of the hud to jhmcs? Yes in "FA-18C Modern MPD 2.1.54\Mods\aircraft\FA-18C\Cockpit\Scripts" in materials.lua go to line 103 and change the three numbers to {2, 255, 20, 550}

It will take some time and a lot of trial and error to get something like that to work. You can take a look of CJS Superhornet and see if you can replace the exterior model with the default hornet. Rename it to F18C Hornet Swiss.

I don't know whether it is my age, eyes or just my old monitor, but I have a hard time seeing the speed and altitude on the HUD, even with your HUD mod.  I tried to follow your directions, but I cannot seem to get it all black like I want it.  If you have a chance, I would appreciate if you could modify your HUD to make it all black. 

Thanks

Give us customizable instrument panels and console panel lights... i now want white to match it all!!!! xD

That's a weird request for the HUD to be black but sure I can guide you.

In "Your Mod Manager Folder\FA-18C Modern MPD 2.1.54\Mods\aircraft\FA-18C\Cockpit\Scripts" go to materials.lua

in line 36 change

 MDG_fonts[MDG_SELF_IDS.HUD]         = {fontdescription["font_stroke_HUD"], 10, {2, 255, 20, 450}} 

to

MDG_fonts[MDG_SELF_IDS.HUD]         = {fontdescription["font_stroke_HUD"], 10, {0, 0, 0, 450}}

I think that will make the HUD black.

I'd give you the steps but I have no knowledge in editing those.
