Pop-up gauges - clarity

Featured Replies

Is there a way to make the pop-up gauges easier to read ?  In particular and as examples, I find the a/p for the PA42 and B1900D (FSX vsns) to be very feint (I don't have the youngest of eyesight).  I thought I'd stumbled on a way to increase/decrease the opacity the other day by selecting two keys to do one thing only to notice the above PA42 gauge became less clear to see. Or maybe I just imagined it as I've not been able to replicate.  Any idea's or thoughts please ?

 

TIA

You could try increasing the size of the 2D pop up in the applicable [Window.xx] in the aircraft 'panel.cfg' by changing the 'window_size=' 

For example, in the Carenado T206H G1000 'panel.cfg', the revised 'window_size=' (the one without the //) almost doubles the size of the gauge. 

//window_size=0.49, 0.59
window_size=0.8597, 1.0

Well, after all the years I've had FSX it turns out gauge transparency isn't a Carenado thing after all....

Just have to hit Ctrl+Shift+T then the 'plus' or 'minus' key to increase or decrease the transparency - ha !
