Any idea how to solve the lack of names for waypoints, VOR, etc on the map display? Unfortunately the link above no longer reachable.

 

Thanks

 

 

Any idea how to solve the lack of names for waypoints, VOR, etc on the map display?

Greetings,

Although I am using this fickle bird in P3D (and continue to wait for QWSim's 737 classic), I had the same issue of "data" not displaying on the map (actually named the EHSI) display. Seems Feelthere (or whoever programmed the bird), defaulted the text rendering on the EHSI resulting in missing text content. So, the fix is to change settings in the [GDI+] section of the 737.ini file.

This file can be found (usually) in %ProgramFiles(x86)%\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v3\feelThere\b737 v2\ 

Use a text editor such as Notepad.exe and replace it with the section below. Make a backup copy of your original 737.ini file first. FYI: Comments are lines beginning with //

Replace the existing [GDI+] section with the one below.  Save the file and restart the sim and you should see content now

 

--------------------- Begin copy at line below --------------------------------

[GDI+]
// 0 - no lines antialiasing.
// 1 - enable lines antialiasing.
lineSmoothing=1

// 0 - Specifies that a character is drawn using the currently selected system font smoothing mode (also called a rendering hint).
// 1 - Specifies that a character is drawn using its glyph bitmap and hinting to improve character appearance on stems and curvature.

// 2 - Specifies that a character is drawn using its glyph bitmap and no hinting. This results in better performance at the expense of quality.
// 3 - Specifies that a character is drawn using its antialiased glyph bitmap and hinting. This results in much better quality due to antialiasing at a higher performance cost.
// 4 - Specifies that a character is drawn using its antialiased glyph bitmap and no hinting. Stem width differences may be noticeable because hinting is turned off.
// 5 - Specifies that a character is drawn using its glyph ClearType bitmap and hinting. ClearType rendering is supported only on Windows XP and Windows .NET Server.
textRenderingHint=4

// 0 - Indicates that pixel centers have integer coordinates.
// 1 - Indicates that pixel centers have coordinates that are half way between integer values.
pixelOffsetMode=1

// 0 - gamma is 1.0. As a result, no gamma adjustment is applied to the image data before or after blending the image with the background.
// 1 - gamma is 2.2. This mode results in a more accurate blend at the expense of additional processing time.
gammaCorrection=0

// 0 - disables color blending. Better fps but image becomes not so good.
// 1 - good image quality but less fps.
// If colorBlending is 0, disable also lineSmoothing and textRenderingHint can't be 4 and 5, otherwise you will see unwanted image artefacts
colorBlending=1
// 0 - not unload GDI+ when plane unloaded. Fixes black screen problem but leaks about 2 megs of memory in every reload
// 1 - unload GDI+ when plane unloaded.
unload=1

I hope this resolves the problem for you. Support for this aircraft by Wilco or Feelthere has been poor at best.

Thanks a million Jeffrey, issue now solved.

 

In view of the date also a Happy and Prosperous 2017 to you and your dear ones.
