Title: Suggestions; Handles; Caps and Radar Counters
Post by: Hangtime on April 08, 2000, 04:10:00 PM
Salute HTC!

Would it be possible to make the con counter bars translucent? We can't make out the cons under the bars.. and the bars often cover fields too.

Next; as for the font sizes... the 10 foot high icon billboard problem has been solved... (thanks!) But now I'm having difficulty reading the text in the textbox. No biggie... if we all type in caps I can read it.

My vision is 20/20; and I'm running a 17" monitor; 1024x768; 32 bit with the hirez patch enabled. After 2 hours flying I've got a splitting headache.. and I'm sure its from the text... (three sessions; three headaches)
Would other settings help???

This problem kinda washes over onto friendly icons.. I can't read the names. Really messes up 6 calls... if I can't read it; I can't call it. 2 cures.. first; we can change our handles to all caps. Second; can HTC to implement mouseclick on icon for 6 calls?

Superb improvements across the board... thanks again HTC!

even some handles in all caps are hard to make out.  The green blends in w/ sky a little to well it seems.  The only problems I dinnae have squadmate's handles since they're orange.

low res makes the text readable. But the icons get bigger also.

Hi all

I have a similar problem - I find reading the red fonts on the map pretty difficult against the green background.  The red bish/nit/rook image can remain same colour but could you allow an option to change the enemy font on the map to a lighter colour, such as pink, light grey or white etc.

I think the problems with the font stem not from size but from the fact that the new font has serifs.  If the font is changed to one without serifs it will be ten times easier to read despite the  small size.  This will, of course, not effect the color problems, though.
