Clipboard map grid
« on: June 05, 2018, 08:53:40 PM »
How do I make the clipboard map grid visible? Over water it is just barely visible. Over land I can't see it at all.  I am using a high definition monitor and my resolution is 3840 x 2160.

I believe the grid lines are one pixel wide.  What size is that 4K monitor?  If the PPI (pixels/inch) is really high, the grid line might appear faint.

If you have the in-game anti-aliasing enabled it will make it worse.

Higher density (pixels/inch) monitors do not necessarily translate to clearer visuals, for some things.  Like the single dot when a plane comes just into view range.  The biggest gains with a high pixel density monitor is going to be the reduction in aliasing.

I don't know whether I do or not.  I've checked every menu that has anything at all to do with display and I can't find anything that mentions aliasing/anti-aliasing. Would it go by any other name?
