Bl**dy good question. Do you have the MS guide to the viewui.xml? It may have some info or help as to where you could experiment. Its located together with the sdks on the MS site.

Hi

Do you mean the actual tac size or the distance it tracks?

To change the size:
Open ViewUI.xml
Look near the end and you'll see the following text:<TacticalDisplay BGIMage="tactical_display.dds" BGPos="0 0" BGSize="512 512" BGScale="0.30" BackColor="0x1f0000FF" Mode="0"/> <TacticalDisplayMetric BGIMage="tactical_display.dds" BGPos="0 0" BGSize="512 512" BGScale="0.30" BackColor="0x1f0000FF" Mode="0"/> <TargetCone/> <TargetConeMetric/> <HUDPipper BGImage="reticule.dds" BGPos="0 0" BGSize="64 64"/> <HUDPipperMetric BGImage="reticule.dds" BGPos="0 0" BGSize="64 64"/> <LabelDisplay BGImage="brackets.dds" BGPos="0 0" BGSize="32 32" ShowRank="0" ShowKills="0" ShowType="0" DrawBrackets="1"/> <LabelDisplayMetric BGImage="brackets.dds" BGPos="0 0" BGSize="32 32"/> </HUD> </Settings>

I've marked in bold red text what you need to change both appearances of BGScale="0.30" to something bigger.
Experiment to you get the wanted size.

To change the distance:
The default command is Ctrl + Shft + T to cycle different distances but 8NM is the max AFAIK.

Hope it helps. :salute:

Cheers



 
Hi von Oben,

yes 8Nm is currently the max, I was hoping that somewhere buried in the viewui would be an option to change the parameters, because that would open up a whole new world of opportunities. Eg. the night fighter boys have already heavily modded the look of the Tac Display so it looks like a night radar scope.
