G1000 fuzzyness in VC...

Featured Replies

I am just beginning to log hours in this DA62 in FSX.  I am running a recent nvidia driver using a GeForce GTX970, simulator screen res set to 1920 X 1080. 27" Bang & Olufsen monitor.  At a comfortable/normal VC zoom level the illuminated labels of the keys and selection knobs is so fuzzy they are not very distinguishable.  In particular the autopilot functions are too fuzzy.   I have the FSX Display Settings set to Ultra High, 3D VC, and Hi Res 3-D virtual cockpit is selected.   When sized approximately the 2D pop up is easily readable.

Is this the display characteristic the rest of you are experiencing?

Sadly, that is the case with VC cockpits. This is a sample of the DA62 panel at 3440 x 1440 resolution on a 34'' wide screen, set at 80% zoom. At night it is a bit darker and much harder to read.

That's the reason I included a 2D autopilot window in the GTN mod.

Note: I did modify the VC MFD autopilot lighting textures to sharpen them up, but they are still hard to identify. I use head tracking gear which allows me to zoom in as I get closer to the screen, so it is not an big issue for me.

So I am not a programmer or otherwise savy graphics tech individual (However I did program my own initial word processing program in IBM PC Basic language back in the early 1980's, and constructed database and queries in Ashton Tate's dBase II data management engine in the days of the original MS Flight Simulator).  Why is a similar 2D pop up gauge so much more readable in graphics detail than the same gauge with the same physical dimensions in a VC?  That's what I struggle to understand.

Should have got the Vertx 62. Carenado use this same poor G1000 all the time and it sucks big time
