changing text colour

[Guest hazop]

hiya,Yet another question from me.Is there a way to change the text colour (during the daytime) to another colour other than purple as i find it very difficult to read. This is text for inflight messages and radio comms.At night it chnages to white which i find easy to read.Please help.John

John,You can change it using commands in your "flt3.cfg" file (in your FU3 root folder). If you haven't done so already, please download and try Rob Driscoll's updated cfg file - it'll make a HUGE difference.Anyway, this is from "readme.wri" on the installation disc:"marquee_text, marquee_background & marquee_border-- these set the color of the marque text (radio messages), and take r,g,b triplet arguments where r, g and b have to be in the range 0 through 255. For example: marquee_text 0 255 0 marquee_background 255 0 255 marquee_border 255 255 0would give you bright green text on a purple background with a yellow border." (Yuck :-lol )So, insert the 3 lines above (with the colours set as you would like) into you cfg file, somewhere just after 'startup' and before 'options'.Have fun :-waveRegards,Jon Point (in S.E.

thats great i didnt know that i could do that. What about the inflight briefing text colour for the challenges. It always comes up a purple/pink cyan i guess or something i find it very hard to read.Would love black during day white at night.ThanksJohn :-jumpy(off to update my cfg file)
