P3D v3.2: Solution for Large fonts in ATC / GSX / ProATC X and other windows


DukeSan27

Recommended Posts

With P3Dv3, Adobe Scaleform is being used for user interfaces like menus, ATC Window, and Simconnect created menus by other apps like GSX, ProATC X etc.

 

However on high DPI displays, e.g. 4k on Win10, the fonts on the ATC / GSX windows are quite small. As part of the P3D SDK, LM has provided the UI files for developers to customize these interfaces. Using those I have created a modified version which shows large fonts.

 

Instructions:

1. Download and unzip the attached file, you will get MenuWindow.swf.

2. Navigate to Scaleform directory under your P3D installation folder

3. Backup the existing MenuWindow.swf

4. Copy the file from 1 here.

Nice, will try this on my DSR setup at the weekend.

 

Ah, right, DSR is another application of this. Let me know how it goes.

Works like a champ in P3DV3.1

Thank you very much!

 

Now is there anyway to increase the size of the text that shows speed, FPS, direction ,etc when you use SHIFT Z Keys?

Yes same target folder.

 

Copy only one of the files, either from 18 or 24 folder in the zip.

 

The 24 one is a tad to big, I think.

Was able to get on the FS computer before work

That last patch works perfect!

18 font is the right size-now I can see again!

 

Thank you so much for the fixes...

Thanks for the feedback.

 

I see that some messages like initialization status from PMDG are still small...

Don't have the link but it's fairly easy. You change the RGB values in the prepar3d.cfg file. Should be fairly easy to spot. You can find RGB tables online which will give you the colors or just experiment.
