DukeSan27 Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 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. http://www.mediafire.com/download/prtkmma7lt22426/MenuWindow.zip Note: Tested with P3D v3.2 only Win10 / 4790K@4.6 / 32GB / 3x980Ti SLI / 3x 4K Monitors Orbx FTX Global Base + Vector + FS Global + REX Texture Direct + Soft Clouds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick 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.

johnbla Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 Many thanks DukeSan27 for a great mod. I can now read the writing. I use the mod at this address https://www.microsoft.com/Products/Games/FSInsider/freeflight/Pages/AirportLabels-AnUndocumentedFeature.aspx (Works in P3D) to display airport labels. The text is very small. Do you know if this text can be made larger? Many thanks John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DMDoc Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 Works perfectly to increase text size for ATC Menu in P3Dv4. Now, if only someone could figure out a way to have the messages' colors changed, or the background color......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vgbaron Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 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.
