Just got a new monitor and decided to play around and increased my res to 5120 x 2180. Game looks even more amazing, refresh rate holds strong at 60, all runs well.

Problem is that on this monitor (27 inch), and as I suspected, the tac stays the same, but the HUD gauges and tac text went tiny (not a problem on my number one guy. I only have really used one with him, but I use them on my competition flyers).

No major issue, and this may be way off base, but just wondering if there is a way to adjust the HUD size through some sort of settings? I had thought that I saw it somewhere in a txt file, but not sure. Even if I maintain the 2k settings I'd like to see if I could shrink the HUD down a little. bigger then I'd like at that setting.

Any info, as always, would be greatly appreciated.

It is not so easy - you must fiddle with Gauge and text size values in ViewUI.xml file located in your Users/<username>/AppData/Roaming/OBD Games/OBDWW1 Over Flander Fields folder.

Thanks, Robert, for all the help

I'd pretty much gotten there, but had no idea which values to change. Your guide saved me hours of testing. I set mine to .20 and it works great.

I did not find a way to change the size of the HUD gauges, but thanks to that Mod that you suggested, I was able to use the "read me" file and find the XML where I could change text size for the entire UI ( "VerySmall", all the way to "VeryLarge").

With those I was able to pretty much set my UI to my liking and it is making a big difference for me.


Again, thanks for taking the time. Very much appreciated.
