This is Captain Solo's personal HUD that has been tweaked time and again during many galactic voyages. It uses HUD image with alpha = 0.40 and overall HUD alpha = 0.75, so quite transparent. You will be able to see objects beneath the HUD, so if you do not like that feature then this OXP may not be for you. Utilizes a balanced array of flight and combat indicators. Four directional vector control for pitch, roll, and yaw. You should know that the energy gauge selector is set with n_bars = 1. So if you prefer to visualize how many banks you have, then this HUD is not for you. Pylon display will accommodate a large number of missiles. The message GUI is located directly centered and above the HUD.
 
 
== Features ==
 
The greatest thing about this HUD is that it is connected to Thargoid's genericHUDswitch script to change the HUD based on alert status. The script has been expanded for the docked condition as detailed below.
 
 
With condition docked some elements are taken offline because they serve no purpose. One of these is the IFF Scanner. In its place is displayed a greeting from the station, whether it be the Main Station, Rock Hermit, or an OXP station from the following:<br>
 
[[Anarchies OXP]]<br>
 
[[Commies|Commies OXP]]<br>
 
[[Dictators OXP]]<br>
 
[[Random Hits OXP]]<br>
 
[[Feudal States|The Feudal States OXP]]<br>
 
 
Upon launching, all the relevant indicators are brought back online. The greetings only work with the core or replacement shipsets, not with any 'Addition' shipsets.
 
 
To make this HUD default you can do one of two things:<br>
 
1) Edit the shipdata.plist for the ship you fly and add this bit of code: hud = "dockedhud.plist";<br>
 
2) Create a Config OXP file for personal preferences and inside this OXP create a folder named Config.<br>
 
Create a new text file named shipdata-overrides.plist. Then enter this code:<br>
 
{<br>
 
"myship" = //The ship you fly<br>
 
{<br>
 
hud = "dockedhud.plist";<br>
 
};<br>
 
}<br>
 
Just be aware this will only work with the core or replacement shipset and not with any addition shipsets or OXP ships.
