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....

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 ??

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.
