I ended up modding this a bit myself. For anyone wondering, the easiest way is to increase the fonts of all MFDs by altering 

baseFontSize 					= 36

in C:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World\Mods\aircraft\GCBase\Cockpit\Scripts\MFD\indicator\MFD_tools_cmn.lua

This is a nice idea but it is not fixing the issue with the FOV vs Font size in the Chinook.

I have tried with a font size 46 and if you increase the font size in this lua, there are some important data fields that are "boxed", for instance the magnetic heading in the PFD where you cannot see the whole number well since the digits are too big.

I do fly helicopters with glass cockpit in real life (AW139) although not the CH-47, and numbers and fonts are made to me easy to read at one glance. Having to play with snapview or zooming inside the cockpit although a temporary solucion should not be "the solution". I hope the devs can take a look at this at sometime since this the the human-machine interface and at this time is not optimal. Other helicopters sucj the Apache or the Kiowa also have MDF that contain easy to read information the way it should.

Please when possible, fix this. Thanks!

I agree it's not great and needs to be changed. 

 

If you want something that works for the time being, you can edit the texture file in 

C:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World\Mods\aircraft\CH-47F\Cockpit\IndicationTextures\Indication-MFD-CH-47F-2.tga

(free Paint.net works if you don't have anything else).  Delete the offending boxes (most in the upper right corner).   Example file below if you want to try

It's not pretty but its readable in VR.   The clutter doesn't bother me enough but happy to help if you want to mod it.
