Huh? 50 is the default zoom level and I've been using that for 4 years now.

It may be the default as set in MSFS, but they do not know the size of your monitor or how far from it your eyes are.  If the FOV is not set for your personal circumstances, the perception of both speed and distance will wrong.

Some of the screens are unreadable. The fonts are too thin and unrecognizable. Get rid of it!
What is your experience with the ATR?

Unfortunately, in regards to the readability of the screen similar to yours.  I have a 31" monitor and sit about 3' from it and the digits above the altitude and speed tapes are virtually unreadable in anything but a zoomed view, which is impractical for takeoff/landing.  Too small and too dim.  I also find the panel a bit dark and my monitor is color corrected with a SpyderX.

However, I managed to adapt by using MSFS Popout Panel Manager, which is freeware and as such the ATR remains one of my top three most used aircraft.

Looked at that tool listed in thread

Where does it say o how to adjust zoom level in MSFS

What do you need extra tools for zoom for? Just use the Mouse Wheel.

Calibrating the monitor will, undoubtedly, optimise everything about the display however I have always found that while calibrating works well for colour critical applications such as photo/video editing the perceived 'brightness' of the display can be too dark for games.

Try adjusting the gamma and brightness/contrast levels through the nVidia Control Panel (or Radeon equivalent if on an AMD GPU) and see whether that helps in the sim.

For an accurate zoom level, a field of view tool needs to be used.  Of course, if realistic speed and distance perception isn't required just use the mouse wheel 🙂

It doesn't, it shows you the correct field of view for your eye distance to monitor & monitor size.  A conversion needs to be used because the zoom figure you see in MSFS isn't in degrees. I use this excellent addon that lets me set the correct field of view, which then shows me the MSFS zoom figure.

Please correct the spelling mistake in the title, it should read "MSFS ATR your experiences...".
