I have over 500 VTOL flight hours at last count, but I struggle to improve at flying these aircraft because I can't read any data on the HUD/HMD. I have vision issues that make the HUD/HMD data unreadable on every aircraft except (maybe) the F/A-26B and the AV-42C. I'd love to see a way to make the text/symbology bigger

What headset do you use?

I know this wouldn't be a big deal to most people, but to the few it would help, it would be huge
HUD/HMCS Text size options

I know there are guidlines about bumping posts, but I do want people to see this thread because I want to know if this would even be possible. Maybe not be able to scale the HUD, but I see no reason why the HMCS data couldn't be variable in size. I apologize for continuing to bring this up, but this is the last major thing keeping me from my dreams of feeling like a true fighter pilot. It's kinda hard to fly precisely when you only have a rough guess of your heading, altitude, airspeed, AOA, Current Gs etc.

Do you have your resolution really low? Personally I’ve never had a problem reading unless my resolution is below 60%, but this feature could definitely help som people

have you tried prescription lenses inside the googles ?
my eyesight is healthy so i don’t know anything about glasses but sounds to me like you can’t see things that are far away (like HUD text)

Is that configurable? I kinda thought you were just stuck with the native headset resolution.

it's actually more to do with the fact that the HUD is a consistant distance away. (it gets further away the closer you get) if it was actually fixed to the glass like it would be in real life, I could simply lean closer

no that’s not how they work IRL i think. it’s like holgraphic, it’s an infinite distance away so to speak
i’ll check
it’s like that in thr game
when you watch recordings with depth of field
the HUD is clear
because it’s far away

I would have thought that a HUD would function similar to a red dot sight where the info is just projected onto a pane of glass

i guess it’s more like a holo sight (???)

does that still apply when the HUD is caged?
wdym ?
spring socket
Like in an F/A - 18 for example, you can cage the HUD so the pitch ladder doesn't move horizontally. This is really useful for when you are coming in to land
at least, that's how it works in DCS

My vision is deemed "non-correctable" which is a fancy way of saying glasses don't work
but I do use my phone or a magnifier to zoom in, or if it's something far away, binoculars or a monocular
next fog
right, i dunno if there is a fix then
i don’t know how much bigger the text would need to be, and wether or not it would even matter
spring socket
Like I said at the top, having the ability to increase the size of the text/symbology would help, however I understand that HUD space is limited. Even being able to increase the HMCS data size means I would be able to get bearing, altitude, airspeed, and weapon info at a minimum.
Because I CAN read the HUD/HMCS data on the AV-42

okay, well i hope you get the help
