+[[User:CommonSenseOTB|CommonSenseOTB]] proudly presents the following HUD inventions:
-Curved Bar Gauges, Custom Missile Display w/missile ID feature, Compass as Target Tracker and Shield Capacitor Gauges.
+:*Curved Bar Gauges
+:*Custom Missile Display w/missile ID feature
+:*Compass as Target Tracker
-condition green compass for better navigation
+:*Shield Capacitor Gauges.
-target tracker does not block view
+The ChupacabraHUD is done in a style where primary information is located central to the crosshairs making for quick assessment of your situation.
-custom missile display and missile ID feature
+Altitude and cabin temperature gauges are only displayed when close to any suns, planets, and moons. The compass is animated and automatically provides a big compass for navigation on condition green. When the ship has a target, the compass automatically stays out of the way when the target is in the crosshairs. There is a target tracking mode that provides a large compass to track targets while dogfighting. Very effective to keep track of exactly where a target is.
-general layout
+Another first in this hud is a gauge for oxp equipment, in this case, custom displays for forward and aft shield capacitors. This eliminates the spamming of messages seen in other huds and also eliminates the sounds necessary to inform the pilot that the capacitors are charging. Now you can just see the information you want with no clutter.

-The ChupacabraHUD is done in a style where primary information is located central to the crosshairs making for quick assessment of your situation. Forward and aft shields and speed are done as a curved bar gauge which is animated and composed entirely of selector: drawSurrounds. These gauges flash and change color in an attempt to highlight the current state of the gauges. Altitude and cabin temperature gauges are only displayed when close to any suns, planets, and moons.

When the ship has a target, the compass automatically stays out of the way when the target is in the crosshairs. There is a target tracking mode that provides a large compass to track targets while dogfighting. Very effective to keep track of exactly where a target is. Early on during the design of this HUD, I came up with a way to make a custom missile display. Each missile pylon requires a gauge that has spacing set to something huge like 5000 or 10000. Each gauge is then placed to display a particular pylon at the right position and you will not see the other pylons for that gauge as they will be off the screen. That's it. Simple eh? To go along with this first ever custom missile display is a missile ID system which uses n/shift+n to select individual missile pylons and highlight them and print the type of missile and pylon number as a message the player can read. This is another first. Works well and could easily be adapted for use in other huds.
