Paul, you definitely must stay. We have drivers of all skill/age levels and it would be an awful shame if you felt you were not welcome here. I do appreciate that the longer races can get tiring but we offer various length events so do please try and attend the shorter races.
As for small text in XD.
Excerpt from XD.ini file
; MoTeC HUD Scale
; Note: Only the MoTeC-Display can manually be scaled.
; Everything else is scaled automatically according to your screen resolution
; If the MoTeC display is set to tab-mode, the other info is also scaled (Session-Info/Standings)
; Value given in percentage
; 100(%) Scale = 1024x768 = 1:1 = No Transformation
; 0 = Disable scaling
Scale=100
Not played with this but I would guess that if you changed the scale value e.g. up it to 120 then see how it looks and adjust accordingly.
Thanks everyone for the words of encouragement, and I assure phspok, it wasn't your post putting me off, I realised myself that I had screwed up a couple of times, so fair comment on your part. It is really more down to the length of the races; I manage to cope with races of 30 minutes or preferably a bit less, reasonably well - luckily there are quite a few of those over at Race2Play - but 40 minutes plus gets me to the stage where my concentration starts to crack, and the longer the race, the further behind I am at the finish, and the more ragged my driving. I thought that this series and the 50s Sprint one were the shortest available, and Monday evenings suit my week so went for those. I'll see how I feel when the next rounds come up, and thanks again for the positive response, chaps.
On a more practical note, I tried the "scale up" trick, Tony, but it seems only works on the MoTec display, which I don't really make use of - in fact I would disable that part of the HUD - not the standings and race info, those are linked to screen resolution. I have no idea what the line in the ini file that says "If the MoTeC display is set to tab-mode, the other info is also scaled (Session-Info/Standings)" means, but it is those two sets of data that I could do with being able to follow more easily, and which might help me be more aware of how far behind someone is. And a happy birthday from me too, Tony, thanks for the heads up on the...er...heads up anyway
