Default FotRSU Map Markup Colors

I'm certain this question has been asked, but be damned if I can find it. Can the pencil markings made on the charts like the protractor, pencil X's be changed from the stock light grey? Or, is there a way to improve contrast between markings and background. My eyes just don't work that well anymore!....

Thanks

not that i have seen. good question though. in my experience, i use them on the nav map when i am plotting an enemy course and then once i drop two or three X's, i draw my course line and delete the X's. i will also use them to mark an area on a map (minefield, etc) but i use many of them in a small location which allows me to see them from a higher resolution.

there may be a discreet graphic setting buried somewhere and in order to change it you would have to edit a specific graphic file but i am not aware of it.

good luck.

I was thinking, if I can't change the map markup colors, maybe I can change the map color to something a bit darker to help contrast the light grey color. I haven't done any modding since Falcon 3.0 so this could be an adventure for me.

ColonelSandersLite did a mod changing the map colors, maybe I could use that as a starting point. I expressed that 'he could care less' what anyone did with it.

Maybe I might have a mod to up load
