• 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.

TAC display size

How do I change the pixel diameter/size on the screen of the Tactical/radar display?
(not the field of view). Thanks
 
It's down near the bottom of the viewui.xml file in your Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data\Microsoft\CFS3 Name folder.
 
<TacticalDisplay BGIMage="tactical_display.dds" BGPos="0 0" BGSize="512 512" BGScale=".25" BackColor="0x1f0000FF" Mode="0"/>

AFAIR red info is physical size of the .DDS, and blue info is the scale to apply to get the ingame image. The stock tactical_display.dds may be in aircraft/shared.

Hope it helps ...
 
Found it, but

I found the lines, thanks Major.
It seems like there is one for Imperial and one for metric.
I guess I should change both?
Changing one only prevented ETO from going beyond the big splash screen. It also gave a syntax error. I must have screwed up.
Maybe just copy the lines I have in my "stock" CFS3?
I'll try again this weekend.
 
Tac Size on screen

Yup it works.
Change "BG Scale " from " .8" to " 1.2"
Thanks Major and Noelberrier
