Default Is it possible to change the font color for the...

Is it possible to change the font color for the numerals under the Speed (kts), direction (stb) and depth (m) dials on the main in-game display? That freaking orange color is hard to read. I did a quick search of this forum under "fonts color" and either I was not sure that the posters were talking about the same thing or it was a different topic being discussed...but I could not find the info. If some one could direct me to the correct font file (if it is in menu/fonts that is) or tell me if it is even possible, I would be very appreicative.

Thanks and Kind Regards,

Harry

this is done very easily by changing three values in 'menu_1024_768.ini'. At first backup this file then open it in notepad [or any text editor] and look for these three blocks below. Change the three values and the numbers beneath the gauges will appear in innocent white.
So long,
