• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

Modifying default screen colors for data

I need a bit of help guys. Some time ago a hint was posted on how to change the onscreen info -- like fps, lon & lat infor, etc -- from the default red to anything one wants. Between moving to a new computer and upgrading from win7 to win10 this process was lost and for the life of me I can't find it.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

thanx in advance
 
Info text colours can be altered using TextColor.1 and BackGroundColor.1 in your FSX.CFG :

[TextInfo.1]
WindDirectionAndSpeed=1,1
Altitude=1,2
AltitudeAgl=1,3
Heading=1,4
AirSpeed=1,5
TrueAirspeed=1,6
FuelPercentage=1,7
AverageFrameRate=1,8
TextColor.1=255,255,204 //Line added - string denotes Text colour RGB
BackGroundColor.1=1,1,1,255 //Line added - string denotes Background Colour RGB+transparency
 
I have no idea if this is the one but it covers the same subject.

The bottom left, bottom right and top right colours can be changed by editing

these lines in the fsx.cfg file.
The sequence of numbers after the = are the colour code.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
InfoUpperRightTextColor=255,255,204
InfoUpperRightBackGroundColor=0,0,0,0
InfoLowerLeftTextColor=255,255,204
InfoLowerLeftBackGroundColor=0,0,0,0
InfoLowerRightTextColor=255,255,204
InfoLowerRightBackGroundColor=0,0,0,0
----------------------------------------------------------------------

The top left colours by adding these two lines

TextColor.1=255,255,204
BackGroundColor.1=0,0,0,0

into each of the
[TextInfo.X] entries


My entries change all the messages to a subdued cream colour with no background.
255,255,204=cream
0,0,0,0=no colour/transparent

By reference to this colour chart
http://www.web-sourc...color_chart.htm
you can select any colour you like for the text and/or background

Regards,
Nick
