Textinfo timeout?

Featured Replies

Not a v5 post 🙂

Is it possible to set the time out for the duration the text info is displayed in the upper right corner - the custom views? I'm asking for a specific reason: when I'm changing the views for the screenshots purposes I have to wait for about 15 seconds every time I change the view so this text disappears. I'd like to make this time shorter, like 5 seconds. Is this possible? I'm still using v4.

In your prepar3d.cfg file somewhere in appdata/roming folders look for the following:

[Display]
ChangeTime=4.000000

Change this to 1.  This will make the text go away quicker, but depending on how you got the text it may still take a few seconds.  It is definitely an improvement.

Thank you!

Does this effect only this text or also something else?

As far as I know, and what I remember from where I first heard about it, it's only the upper right text.  I've never noticed any difference elsewhere.

Just the text and I use 0.25 to get rid of it quicker yet

I tried values of less than one but didn't notice any change.  Sometimes the text stays on the screen longer.  This made comparisons difficult. 🙂

I just reviewed my config settings and they are:

[DISPLAY]

ChangeTime=0.250000     (Original was ChangeTime=4.000000)

TransitionTime=4.000000

 

Maybe all the decimal point are significant?

Hope this helps

Check this, you will be happy:

Prepar3D.cfg

[DISPLAY]
ChangeTime=0.15000
TransitionTime=2.000000

....

InfoUpperLeftTextColorUser=133,173,173

 

btw.if you want to have less info in the first data of Shift+Z use this in cfg also:

[TextInfo.2]
FrameRate=1,1
//LockedFrameRate=1,2
//GForce=1,3
//FuelPercentage=1,4
//HealthPoints=1,5

To change Transition time is important also.
