Increase HUD font size and brightness??

[bop1701]

Is there any way to increase the 'font' size (size of numbers/letters) and really increase the brightness?  The text is pretty small, and even when turning the brightness to max its hard to read without really having to zoom in.  Different colors don't seem to help either.  I guess the main thing would be bigger font size.

Thanks in advance

You have already found the keys for HUD brightness and color change. There is no way to change the font size - it is how it is IRL.

Now please provide some screenshots because there can be some other parameters in play here:

• there is a RL problem reading the HUD flying toward the sun - pilots have to use HUD repeater (not available in FC3 F-15C) or other instruments then
• you may have your fov/zoom set too wide and the HUD is simply too small to read on your monitor
• you may have set wrong pilot head position (too far forward in this case) so the HUD readings are small relative to the available HUD glass area

The HUD is too dim. It's not a RL feature, but an issue introduced with more modern lighting in DCS World.
It used to be much more readable.

@bop1701  - If you know how to edit .dds files. It's relatively easy to edit the HUD glass texture darker. Not 100% realistic, but It will
make the font a little bit easier to read at max brightness. Im thinking about posting my texture mod on user files for download as many users
seems experience the same issue.

hello bop1701,

This is what I'm currently using and with the latest cockpit repaint (of course, you need to press 'RSHIFT+RCTRL+H' a few times to get the desired level of brightness), the mod works just fine!
