I had found a thread here on the forums explaining how to resize the radio menu so the rearm list was fully visible.

What is currently visible: AGM-65Dx4, CBU-97x4, TGP...

What I would like to see: AGM-65Dx4, CBU-97x4, AIM-9x2, TGP, ECM

 

 

Any chance someone can link me that thread or post the way to do this please?

I don't have a link to the original topic, but here's the relevant info:

REMINDER: BACK UP ALL FILES BEFORE YOU TOUCH THEM.

 

1) Unlock the maximum string length:

within ...Games\DCS A-10C\Scripts\UI\CommandMenu.lua, search for and change local menuItemMaxLength from 26 to 100; this is the cutoff length where it uses (...)

 

2) Change the radio dialog size

within ...Games\DCS A-10C\FUI\Resources\Radio\menu.res, make the two changes highlighted in red (reduce existing number by 300, this will extend the dialog left by 300 pixels).

Exactly what I was looking for thanks Harszach!

[Harzach]

Oh...just realized that it references highlighted text. When I saved this, I forgot to save the formatting.

[Soul]

Hmm, my commandmenu.lua doesnt contain the local menuitemmaxlength string?

[Harzach]

OK, here's the original post:

The MenuItemMaxLength string is line 284 in the CommandMenu.lua.

[Soul]

Tried searching for both menuItemMaxLength and just the number 26 and neither exist in my CommandMenu.lua. And it isn't in the original either, guess I got a broken lua file some how unless they changed something with 1.1.0.9 attaching my current CommandMenu.lua if you want to check it out. And the odd thing is I did this in 1.1.0.8 and it worked fine and had no trouble finding what I needed to change...

CommandMenu.lua

[Harzach]

Ah, I'm still on 1.1.0.8, maybe this is another "fix" in the new update?

[Harzach]

Yes, your .lua is different from mine, from line 284 down.

[Soul]

Hmm, hopefully this still works just a different way of doing it maybe. Until then guess I am stuck with the ...
