dswo 0 Posted March 13, 2006 Share Posted March 13, 2006 I've had the Beaver for a couple weeks now. Like the visual models and flight dynamics, but find the radios impossible to read from the modern VC, especially the NAV/COM. Swapping in different gauges doesn't seem to work, either: either the digits are wrongly sized, or out of place in some way. Anyone know of a fix for this? Link to post Share on other sites
Shaun Fletcher 567 Posted March 13, 2006 Share Posted March 13, 2006 Hello David, Can you post a screenshot of the problem please. Also have you tried to zoom in on the radio so they become clearer, I have just checked this by zooming and the numbers are clear.. Link to post Share on other sites
dswo 0 Posted March 13, 2006 Author Share Posted March 13, 2006 Here are two screenshots, one from the driver's seat at normal (1x) magnification and another with the viewpoint moved right in front of the radio stack and zoomed in. Link to post Share on other sites
Shaun Fletcher 567 Posted March 13, 2006 Share Posted March 13, 2006 Hello David, Dont change the eyepoint just zoom on the radio from the set position in the VC and you should see it fine. Link to post Share on other sites
dswo 0 Posted March 13, 2006 Author Share Posted March 13, 2006 Thanks for the suggestion, Shawn, but I still have the same problem. Here's the screenshot I took before moving the viewpoint. Link to post Share on other sites
Shaun Fletcher 567 Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 Hello David, Would adjusting the contrast on your monitor help!! Link to post Share on other sites
dswo 0 Posted March 14, 2006 Author Share Posted March 14, 2006 Thanks for staying with me, Shaun. If you look at the NAV/COMM in one of the two blow-up shots, you can see that the problem is not contrast but size. The numbers are tiny, tiny, tiny. The solution would seem to be a different gauge. What I've found, though, is most digital gauges get very funny here. If you play around with the VC sections of panel.cfg for this aircraft, you'll find that the Y sizing is about one third what you would expect. There's something about the geometry of this VC that stretches things out vertically. I don't know why this was done, but it does make gauges less readable, and digital gauges (I mean ones with numbers, not necessarily glass cockpits) suffer the most. Link to post Share on other sites
Shaun Fletcher 567 Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 Hello David, At 3.4 time zoom I can see the digits clearly but I'll investigate it and see if it can be made clearer. Link to post Share on other sites
dswo 0 Posted March 15, 2006 Author Share Posted March 15, 2006 Thanks for staying with me, Shaun. I see on AVSIM that someone else is having the same problem; see Moose4's post at the bottom of http://forums.avsim.net/dcboard.php?az=sho...p;page=2#307879 Link to post Share on other sites
