Low vision repost - any answer from jdtllc?

I just downloaded, activated, and tried RCV4.3 Is there any way to change the colors and font size of what the manual calls the "adventure" wondow? Right now, even if I undock it and put it on the second LCD, there is not enough contrast for me to see what it says. (BTW, it is hard to tell when the manual is talking about FS9 features and FS10 features, although that could be my screen reader)I could best use yellow on black in a large non-serif font. I have started listening to the manual but at 300 pages, that's three weeks of listening. I couldn't find anything yet about changing colors.Is there a log file of transmissions created anywhere? I am constantly starting an stopping the sim to catch up with verbal instructions, and I really need them in text form for a text-to-speech program to go over. RCv4.3 is an amazingly executed, highly professional program. I fear that it may not be for low-vision folks, though.tia,danp.s. for those who haven't tried it, the latest adobe reader has excellent text-to-speech. still doesn't read graphics, though.dan davison

try editing the fsuipc.ini (make a backup first)find the entry for whitemessages=change the no to yes. maybe that will helpjd

Hi all,I tried WHITEMESSAGES=YES in the FSUIPC.ini file, but the color did not change. I did hear (read) the FSUIPC documentation that there are no other choices, it's a MSFS limitation. I'll have to experiment a bit, or park RC for a few months until after all the eye surgery. So it goes. thanks,dan davison

Dan,Couldn't you use AdvDisp instead of the FS messages? In AdvDisp I think you can change font type, sizes and colours just like a regular Windows program. Worth a try perhaps?Hope it helps,

Just jumping in here. What if you uncheck "Pause on task switch?"
