• 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.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Z key display parameters

EDIT: Just realized you are talking about CFS, not FSX. There may be an equivalent.

I don't know about location, I think that is hard coded. As for color though, try this:

In the fsx.cfg file.


[TextInfo.1]
Latitude=1,1
Longitude=1,2
Altitude=1,3
Heading=1,4
AirSpeed=1,5
WindDirectionAndSpeed=1,6

add the next 2 line if they are not there.


TextColor.1=255,255,255
BackGroundColor.1=0,0,0,128




Where each number in "TextColor" is and RGB value.


You can use this tool to get the proper RGB for the color you wish.

You'll have to experiment with the BackGroundColor, I haven't messed with that part at all.


Cheers,

Yes, just learned about how to make a change in fsx while searching for cfs3. Did a lot of searching too, no joy. Guess you're right, it's hard coded. Red is hard to focus on, and old eyes don't help.

Thanks.
 
Text colour - Z key

I Haven't come across a way to change Z key text colour. HUD text colour can be changed in the ViewUI.xml.

You're probably right about it being hard-coded. There is a possibility that there is info tucked away in the xml files in the Dialogues folder?
 
Didn't see anything in the dialogs. Not exhaustively searched, but opened every xml, if there's something there and it was a snake it would have bit me. Don't think it's there.

Thanks all the same for the suggestion.
