HUDText size

SOH-CM-2025
I've had an inquiry about changing the HUDtext size for someone with vision issues. Now I know from before no such info on size is in the ViewUI file, unlike other HUS gauges which are changed though BGscale. The "HUDText" is a Gauge6 but unlike other gauges, I don't notice a dds reference. Ideas?
 
hi James, have you tried to add a scale entry in the ViewUI like the scale entries for the gauges ? Find the text entry and add something like BGScale= etc and maybe it would work. There may be another thing to try like a font size?
 
So maybe it would be best to change the text colour to whatever he can see best, as that can be done. Also placing it where there is the least % change in background colour.
 
Well the gauge size is not so difficult. It is in the ViewUI file in your Appdata folder. Do a search for all the 'BGscale" entries and change the value from 1.0 to a lower or higher
value (mine are small @ 0.70 and I think default is 1.0 ) You can do that for the tactical display as well. Backup both your original and changed one as if you need to delete the AppData folder you can reinsert whichever size one you want.
 
TacticalDisplay BGIMage="tactical_display.dds" BGPos="0 0" BGSize="128 128" BGScale=".8"

Don't change sizes, omly BGScale.
 
They all have the BGScale value. For example:

<HUDAlt BGImage="hud_guages.dds" BGPos="2 344" BGSize="166 166" BGscale=".70" NeedleImage="hud_guages.dds">
