May 3, 20233 yr Author this topic had me search for a good HUD, and the app FS20_Hud on Github and Flightsim.to appears to do the trick. It's full of options, and I was able to create a small but effective readable tab for those hard to read functions. I have on the top left corner of the monitor, so it barely interferes with the cockpit immersion. Not perfect, but at least I am able to fly the ATR in cockpit mode.

As Rob Young points out, it is difficult to emulate actual aircraft displays on a computer screen that are clear as the real thing. What I do is assign custom camera views that are bound to the numeric keypad for quick access. I have views for the PFD/MFD, FMS, engine display etc that are closely zoomed-in which makes them easy to see, as well as a zoomed-out view that shows the perspective that would be seen at normal viewing distance for taxi takeoff and landing. I've set these views for all "gauge-heavy" dashes, since day one, on the key pad. Always seemed the logical thing to do.

May 4, 20233 yr Yeah, good point. I wonder if there is a way to mod the plane (textures) etc. I was under the impression Asobo allows that now for even encrypted planes finally. 7800+4090+64ram Just Flight RJ, 146 and F28, Piper Arrows ---A2A Aerostar and Comanche---Black Square Starship, Duke(s), TBM, Bonanza/BaronV2, KingAir---FSReborn FSR500---COWS Da42---FX P180, HJet & VJet---FlySimWare Chancellor and LearJet---FlightSimStudio EMB175 &P2006T---Fenix 320---PMDG DC6, 737(700+900), 777---C22J---Milviz Cessna 310 & Porter---SimWorksStudios Kodiak, PC12, Zenith & RV14---BigRadials Goose---IndiaFoxEcho MB3339+F35.

Increasing the "bold-ness" makes fonts like this even more blurry and indistinct. The solution all along would be to make important fonts BIG and readable.

Majestic had this sussed long ago on their FSX Q400. They used an almost one-for-one font copy on the pop-out displays, but for the typeface in the virtual cockpit they made the stroke weight heavier and possibly enlarged it a bit too so it was readable without zooming in lots. Hans could learn from this. Edited May 4, 20233 yr by ckyliu ckyliu, proud supporter of ViaIntercity.com. i5 12400F, 32GB, RTX4070, more in "About me" on my profile.

Hans could learn from this. Well I actually prefer my Majestic Q400 in MSFS 😇 The only aircraft that was to give a real sense of landing an aircraft, unfortunately never had this with the rest... Ok back to topic hoping that Hans is able/willing to strike a balance here readability is far more important as an accurate font which is difficult to read...

They allow it for the encrypted planes in the Premium and Deluxe packages but I *think* add-on planes are still fully encrypted
May 4, 20233 yr Really make it an option in the EFB to have a bigger font. I guarantee this is a coding effort of 1 minute, especially since there's much space around the selected alt indication on the PFD, so no need to rearrange the other visual elements while enlarging the font. For transparency: I'm a community mentor at the BATC discord. However, I do not get paid for it in any way.

I have a zoomed camera view of the PFD & MFD, that’s fine, but when I need to dial in a HDG or ALT I don’t have direct access to the knobs on the MCP to do this. How do you handle the knobs while looking at the zoomed view of the P & MFD ‘s? I admit I do have a camera view of the MCP as well with a small view of the PFD & MFD so I can do this, but the ALT & HDG numbers are still hard to read. EDIT: I do also use the popouts which do seem to be FPS friendly compared to the Aerosoft CRJ. But I of course would rather not.

I doubt Hans reads these forums. I think it would be best to open up a wishlist item in the official forums and hope it gets 500+ votes quickly. Or maybe open up Zendesk tickets.
