program UI size

[Goldguru]

would it be possible to increase the contents of the program 

selections box's?

IE squadron names etc I have a very difficult  time reading the print 

in the dropdown sections

my display is 1920 x 1080

 

attacked pic shows My view.

seems there is alot of space below the campaign picture which could be utilized

for an increasse in the selection boxes size to allow for a larger font making it easier to read.

 

Thnx Goldguru

 

 

seems the website increased the file size by 45%?

original file is 353KB

While it's on the "to do" list, unfortunately, it's a manual, tedious job to do so I keep putting it off.  DCG was originally designed when most monitors were 1280 x 720 and 800 x 600.

Fhechene Im using win7 & my pc is already set to 125% as shown in that tutorial.

It does enlarge the file/edit run/etc tabbs & all their drop down content but I cant make it apply to the main window drop boxes

i have tried a few magnifying tools however Im a stroke survivor due to an acident & it damaged my visual cortex & I 

confused easliy so things like windowa magnifyer are extremly difficult to use.

I just thought I would put it out there.

my group has just begun experimenting with DCG for our weekly flying session & are still encountering difficulties due to 

all player having the same patches/compatibility mods.

which I hope to have corrected by next session.

Thnx Gold

Have you tried this?

You can try the above solution or maybe someone can borrow you an old monitor and connect both monitors to your pc and change screen resolution in one. I know is suboptimal, but's all I can think of.

yes I have tried that,seems MS stock magnifier will do ,it is difficult for me to do with my brain/sight damage for i can't multitask very well.

a question about folder path for DCG.exe.

D:\IL-2 Sturmovik 1946\il2dcg349\il2dcg.exe...is this correct or should it be

D:\IL-2 Sturmovik 1946\il2dcg.exe? & all supporting files in the 1946 folder instead of il2dcg folder?

 

Thnx Gold

I keep IL2DCG outside of the IL2 Sturmovik folder, but I guess you can keep it there.  Either way, it should be in it's own folder.

OK  thnx thats how i'll try the 3.50b
