Text output fix (Fallout: New Vegas)

Ku all, inhabitants of shelters!
Here is the information from the terminal


Text output position Edit
At some non-standard screen resolutions, in particular, with an aspect ratio of 4:3 - 1600x1200, 800x600, etc., the left and right edges of the image are cut off when working with the console. That is, since console lines are displayed on the left, most of the text entered in the console ends up off the edge of the screen, and you have to type it blindly. Fortunately, in Fallout 3 this can be easily fixed.
The position of the console text can be set in the Fallout.ini file.

For Windows XP:

C:Documents and SettingsUsernameMy DocumentsMy GamesFallout3FALLOUT.INI
For Vista/Windows 7:
C:UsersUsernameDocumentsMy GamesFallout3Fallout.ini
Right-click on the file, select "Properties", uncheck the "Read Only" box. Open the file in a text editor such as Notepad. Find the text "iConsoleText".
Set iConsoleTextXPos to 200 or something. A larger number will move the console text to the right. This is the main problem.
IConsoleTextYPos needs to be estimated - it should be 100 or 200 less than the height resolution value (Y). A smaller value raises it higher (0 is off the top of the screen).
For example, for a 5:4 display 1280×1024 (X×Y):
Setting Default New value Note
iConsoleTextYPos 940 900 Y (up/down) pos 100-200 less than Y res (here, 1024)
iConsoleTextXPos 30 200 X ( left/right) pos - higher (which will move it to the right)
After completing the configuration and saving the file, return the checkmark to "Read Only".
Please note: when launching the launcher (for example, through the library menu in Steam), the Fallout.ini file will be replaced by the reference file, regardless of the contents of the existing file. Therefore, if you are going to use the console on a monitor with a non-standard resolution, launch the game “directly”, bypassing the launcher.

You can use the help command to see if the console is working. Even if you don't see the edit line or cursor, this command will fill the console with text.

Or you can press TAB several times before entering commands, this will shift the typed text to the right, and it will become readable. This action will not affect the input text of commands and their execution.

Since only on PC you can get into the "roots" of the game.
