Change Color of Altimeter and Airspeed Indicator Ticks
« on: May 31, 2017, 12:14:59 PM »
As requested before, please allow the altimeter and airspeed indicator ticks to be changed to different colors. This will greatly help those of us who are colorblind.  Thanks!

Here are dials that have clearer ticks indicating 10k altitude.





Another option is to simply extend the 10k tick so that it is longer than the others.

The simplest option is to make the 10k tick yellow!

I use the HUD altimeter now since it was implemented, but +1 to the wish.

If you turn off post lighting the tick marks are easily visible.   The problem is the way anti-alias works in AH3 vs AH2.   This was never an issue with the old engine.

Even with it off I find them difficult to see without zooming.  I play at lower res though, so that might be a factor.

Well, even if it worked for you the downside isn't worth it.   Your out-of-cockpit views look pretty ragged without post lighting and AA.

It's an issue that could use fixing.

I like ragged.  It lets me see the dots.
