[Suggestion] Default WXR/Terrain brightness

[thierryd]

My hardware (Skalarki) does not include the second knob on the ND display brightness knob to control the brightness of the Weather or Terrain display on the ND. I find the default brightness (255) quite bright (especially if using Terrain) so that, on every flight, I have to go through the MCDU menu to change it from 255 (its default value) to something I find more reasonable (50 to 100 typically).

I would love to have a way to set the default value, either via the existing Aircraft Options list or in an INI file.

This small "quality of life" improvement would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Hello

that used to be possible, I somehow broke it apparently. In next version you will be able to set it up in c:\A320FMGS\EGPWS_WXR.ini file on FMGS SERVER PC (only on that PC, not on any other PCs) by adding the lines:

Code: Select all

[WXRTERRdim]
CPT=255
FO=255

The values range from 0 to 255.

Excellent. Thank you!

Verified working with B58.0.2.
Thanks for implementing this.

Don’t forget the other hidden options

C:\A320FMGS\EGPWS_WXR.ini (only on EGPWS computer, not on EIS ones):
[EGPWS]
PictureRes=200
usePNGs=no

Using PNGs compresses the bmp files, but will increase CPU utilisation.
PictureRes is the EGPWS picture size in pixels (default is 200*200 pixels).

You can try PictureRes=400 or 600
