April 6, 201016 yr Hi guys!As you can see in the screenshots below some of the characters/numbers/letters are messed up and replaced by some strange characters instead. I've noticed this on my last flight and haven't seen this before. A couple of days ago I installed the MD-11 version of FS2Crew so maybe this problem is caused by FS2Crew (dropped the same question in their forum as well) but since I don't know if the problem is caused by FS2Crew or the MD-11 itself I though I ask in here too.Thanks in advance for any input/help!
April 6, 201016 yr Richard, this is a font problem but I don't remember which font file is involved. Maybe trying a repair or reinstall, or searching the md11 subforum on keyword font. Dan Downs KCRP
April 6, 201016 yr I remember seeing this discussed recently and a reinstall/repair helped since I think the font is part of the install, or something along those lines.I've been trying to fix my own pfd issue as you can see here...It is growing on me though, so may just leave it as is :( i9 10920x @ 4.8 ~ MSI Creator x299 ~ 256 Gb 3600 G.Skill Trident Z Royal ~ EVGA RTX 3090ti ~ Sim drive = M.2 2-TB ~ OS drive = M.2 is 512-gb ~ 5 other Samsung Pro/Evo mix SSD's ~ EVGA 1600w ~ Win 10 Pro Dan Prunier
April 7, 201016 yr Commercial Member That's AWESOME!!!PaulThat is frikin awesome, I always enjoy reading your posts lol Rob Prest
April 7, 201016 yr I wonder if PMDG would consider doing a mod? I mean, I can read all the important bits- Dan just trimmed the fat.Paul
April 7, 201016 yr Author Wow, that's one amazing PFD :( Does someone know where the font files for the MD-11 MDUs are installed because I keep a complete backup of my FSX folder and maybe I could simply replace the font files with the same files from my backup.If that's not possible I will try a reinstall of both the MD-11 and FS2Crew.
April 7, 201016 yr :( boys will be boys...How 'bout completing the picture with some good old-fashioned nose art?Cheers,Jan Peter i9-10900, RTX3080/10GB, FSX/P3Dv4.5
April 7, 201016 yr Hi Richard, I would just back up your aircraft.cfg and do a reinstall of the MD-11 on top of itself. It shouldn't remove any new liveries you have but probably will rewrite the aircraft.cfg so you'd want to put yours back in after the reinstall so it has all your liveries.I'm glad people like my PFD. Let's just say "It's in beta :(" I've never had so much fun lining up the FD. The only issue with it is if you don't compliment her hair or her boots she may walk off the display at any time and is a real pain when you're manually flying the ILS :( Also, you need to make small adjustments and keep your movements smooth or she'll get turned off rather quickly and won't let you proceed with your approach. i9 10920x @ 4.8 ~ MSI Creator x299 ~ 256 Gb 3600 G.Skill Trident Z Royal ~ EVGA RTX 3090ti ~ Sim drive = M.2 2-TB ~ OS drive = M.2 is 512-gb ~ 5 other Samsung Pro/Evo mix SSD's ~ EVGA 1600w ~ Win 10 Pro Dan Prunier
April 7, 201016 yr Author First I tried restoring my backup of the FSX folder but the problem was still present afterwards so then I went for a repair which fixed the problem so now everything is back to normal. Next step will be to install FS2Crew for the MD-11 again and see if the fonts keep looking good after that...I hope they will!
April 8, 201016 yr Brian York was on the MD11 beta team, his add-on should be very stable. Hope the repair did the trick for you Richard. Dan Downs KCRP
April 8, 201016 yr Author Yes, after the repair of the MD-11 and then reinstalling FS2Crew all is still good - thanks for asking!
