EICAS display overlapping problem

[plexus 0]

Hi everyone,I recently installed 747-400X downloaded off PMDG's website and the installation went well. However, I'm experiencing some issues with the EICAS indication overlapping each other. This happens in both VC and 2D panel on all 747-400X variant, regardless of the screen resolution set in FSX. I'm currently running 1600x900 on Windows and FSX.Appreciate if anyone can help.Thanks!- Alvin

I think this is caused by the default text size on your system. If you have changed it from system-default in the past, change it back and see what happens.

You may be right! Let me change it back and see what happens.Will update all once I've tried it out.

Alright. So it turn out that my display text setting was set to 125% instead of 100%. This explains the overlapping issue. This doesn't seem to happen on the NGX though.Nevertheless, thanks for the help guys! Appreciate it.

Hey just wondering where you changed your default text size so that it fitted? I have this problem too.

For Win 7 users .....

 

Start>Control Panel>Appearance and Personalisation>Display

 

Select ....

 

Smaller - 100% (default)

 

Then...

 

Go this link...

This will show you how to check ( or even change?) the DPI (Dots per Inch) size settings to allow text and other items, such as icons, fonts, and windows, to display larger or smaller in Windows 7...your looking to have 96 DPI to make things like PMDG PFD/ND/EICAS Displays view correctly (under normal circumstances).

 

Good Luck!
