VDGS text
« on: October 02, 2023, 11:06:21 pm »
Dont know if its a known issue or reported before. Some text does not fit to the VDGS display such as runway L/R/C designations. Would it be possible to adjust the letter spacing to fix it?

Here are examples with missing "G" and "09" instead of "09R"

It would be wrong to change the spacing to fit the letters, the correct solution would be instead using some kind of abbreviations, because there's a reason why those models are called in a certain way. The T1-42, for example, it's called "42" because it has 7 rows of 6 columns so it can only display 42 characters. The T2-24 (the one in your screenshot ) has 5 rows of 6 characters but 6 are not used, so it can only display 24 characters, hence its name.

So we might need to change some wording to make it fit into 6 characters.
