Working With the HUD

[MajorMagee]

The HUD has three presets that can be customized through the Flight Interface / HUD Setup Screen.

You can adjust the HUD transparency in the Flight Interface to help with visibility if they start to block too much of your screen. I have mine at 66%.

For each readout you have the choice of a simplified single height, or double height data cell.

They are grouped as Flight Instruments, Engine Instruments, and Miscellaneous

There are two rows of 21 cell positions available across the bottom of the screen.

You can position these cells as Left, Center, or Right justified.

To center the HUD on your screen use Center Justified and start from cell 11 working symmetrically either side from that cell.

It's just a matter of drag and drop to create a custom arrangement. 

The only thing you cannot do is stack a single height and double height data cell in the same column.

You can cycle through these three presets and turn the HUD off in game by using Right Alt + H.

I have my three presets grouped by functional need: Flying, Fussing (with the Engine), and Fighting.

If your preset includes data cells that are not appropriate for the situation they will not display.

For example, if you have no underwing stores loaded the payload cell will be suppressed.
