SW HUD DAI

This is Stranger's tweaked and upgraded version of Robert Triflinger's (Captain Beatnik's) CB_Hud_v0_8.oxp.

List of modifications

• An additional digital altimeter provides altitude data in range from 2500 to 500 km in planet scale. It is intended to enable safe planet landing and works only during descent to minimize interference with other messages.

hud.plist

• A somewhat wider inner gap in the military laser reticle.

• Transparency of gauges reduced from alpha = 1.0 to alpha = 0.25.

• Decreased font sizes on message_gui and comm_log.gui.

• Readjusted message_gui aide and location to adopt new font size.

• STE reticle scaled to 1:100 instead of default 1:64.

• Disabled the automatic floating comm_log_gui panel.

• 2 MFDs added.

• Primed equipment indication added.

• Scanner set to UltraZoom mode (x1, x2, x4, x8 x16 instead of x1, x2, x3, x4 x5).

• Scanner set to non linear mode.

• All HUD elements other than pylon-mounted ordnance and the ship clock are now invisible while in docked state.

This HUD was tested with 1920 x 1080 monitor resolution. All changes are implemented for hud.plist only. hud-small.plist remains the same as original.

Features and dependencies

This OXP is split onto 2 versions:

• SW HUD DAI (Default Altitude Dial) - stand-alone OXP without any dependencies.

• SW HUD CAI (Custom Altitude Dial) - needs Hard Way 2.1 OXP, providing data source for custom altitude dial.

Use only one version of SW HUD OXP, not both!
