• 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.

Shocking Pink

After a few weeks off from flight simming, I have returned to find that the lettering in my menu windows has unaccountably turned from white to various shades of a bright neon pink, sometimes with shades of light blue; sometimes with yellow. I have no idea why. Has this happened to anyone else?

Sounds like you're running an older Nvidia driver. First, try updating your video driver. If that fails to remedy, turn off AA temporarily in the sim but set the AA in your graphics hardware controller in Windows desktop to "application-controlled".

Hey Eoraptor1, Another possibility?
May want to check out if your Clear Font is on...To change it see this link... http://support.microsoft.com/kb/306527 ...It caused the same thing on my rig. Pesonally, since I need glasses for reading, this type of font is easier on my peepers. Also I like the different way Graphics appear,.. But it is a personal preference thing. :wavey:

Oh, and BTW, here is a set-up procedure for those of us with slightly older eyeballs. :icon_lol:

It was the Clear Font!!! Thanks dvslats. What I don't understand is why it just started affecting CFS2 now. The only thing I can think of is something in the updated video card drivers that doesn't get along with Clear Font.
