Hi,

I use arrow keys to zoom a little... in some planes you can read, in other not in the standard view, just zoom in, read, and press f1 again to get back to your saved position....

What video card are you running, and at what resolution? Also, if you are running anti-aliasing, that can make it harder to read at low levels.

Unfortunately, with any resolution below 1024x768, text is almost unreadable without "moving your [virtual] head" with the keyboard arrows. (At least with my NVidia TNT2 M64.)

In my case, I program my forward view position to a view closer to the panel.

GeForce2 MX at 1024x768 in 32bit (using 7.52 drivers)

Also, if you are running anti-aliasing, that can make it harder to read at low levels.

had to search for that one ; it's 2x2 ...
but it wasn't flagged, so i guess it was off anyway ??

Hmmm, I can read the instruments OK at that resolution.

You seem to have the correct drivers and all for your card and OS. And yes, 2x2 AA should be disabled by default I believe.

Try adjusting your head position a bit, or even try a slightly higher resolution.
