Images are below their captions. HUD is a Heads-Up Display: a transparent display that presents data without requiring users to look away from their usual viewpoints. The origin of the name stems from a pilot being able to view information with the head positioned "up" and looking forward, instead of angled down looking at lower instruments. A HUD also has the advantage that the pilot's eyes do not need to refocus to view the outside after looking at the optically nearer instruments (Wikipedia).

A HUD is a Heads-Up Display: ''a transparent display that presents data without requiring users to look away from their usual viewpoints. The origin of the name stems from a pilot being able to view information with the head positioned "up" and looking forward, instead of angled down looking at lower instruments. A HUD also has the advantage that the pilot's eyes do not need to refocus to view the outside after looking at the optically nearer instruments First developed in the 1940s for military aircraft (from Wikipedia).''

=== Another HUD ===
+
As the newer versions of Oolite have allowed more flexibility with modifying HUD elements since the early days of Oolite v.1.20 in 2004! From the halcyon days of Aegidian's Mega-Walnut dashboard (for the Fer-de-Lance), the HUD designers have risen to the challenge. There was a quantum leap under [[User:Cim|Cim]]'s tenure as lead designer, when it was made easier to code new HUDs and the range of possibilities was greatly increased. This extended to [[MFD]]s. This happened with the release of Oolite v.1.79 in 2013/4.

The most striking versions here include the Coluber, Dangerous & Vimana HUDs.

'''Ships with custom HUDs''': Note also that some ships come with their own HUD versions! ''Eg.'': [[Coluber Blue Racer|Coluber Racers]] - Blue, Red, Yellowbelly & Black; also [[Isis Interstellar]] ships, all of [[Simon B's Ships OXP|Simon B's ships]] in Neolite-Wolfies and some of his Waka series, some of Wolfwood's ships such as his [[Asp Explorer (Oolite)]], ''etc''.

'''Experimenting with new HUDs'''
 +
The easiest way into all this is probably using [[HUDSelector]] which comes with 3 more HUDs to try out (extra-large, large & small). It will then help manage most others you download.
  
[[Image:ChupacabraHUD4.png]]
+
'''Four points''': <br>
 +
1) The game specifies 2 types of HUD: ''small'' (for the [[Adder (Oolite)|Adder]], the [[Cobra Mk.1 (Oolite)|Cobra Mk.1]], ''etc'') and ''regular''. Most of these below do not have a small variant, so you will find that your small ship defaults to the Vanilla game's small ship HUD! <br>
 +
2) The number of MFDs varies with the HUD (from 0 to 15)! MFDs were introduced in 2013/14<br>
 +
3) HUD designers often include icons for their favourite oxp equipments. See Coluber (& Deeper Space), CB (& CRR), Vimana & Z-GrOovY MiLHUD below for examples. <br>
 +
4) A number of HUDS have special features
 +
:* Choice of layouts/colour - Dangerous HUD (fighter cockpit view, hauler cockpit view and glass only view, 6 colours) & Xenon HUD (2 colours)
 +
:* Current Location Display (with Current Risk Notifier) - see Deeper Space HUD
 +
:* Weapon Bays Missile Identifier - see ChupacabraHUD
 +
:* Warning signs for low altitude/energy/shields/high temperature - see Vimana HUD
 +
:* Extra add-on modules (purchasable) with some of the functions of the Combat & Navigation MFD's - see Vimana HUD
 +
:* Sun glare contrast - see Xenon HUD
 +
:* Sound effects - see Dangerous HUD
 +
:* Listings of present equipment - see Z-GrOovY MiLHUD, Vimana HUD, Deeper Space HUD & the Coluber HUDs (these lists are inevitably partial - there is ''so'' much equipment)
 +
:*[[Shield Equalizer And Capacitors OXP|Shield Capacitors gauges]] - see [[ChupacabraHUD]]

Images are below their captions.

A HUD is a Heads-Up Display: a transparent display that presents data without requiring users to look away from their usual viewpoints. The origin of the name stems from a pilot being able to view information with the head positioned "up" and looking forward, instead of angled down looking at lower instruments. A HUD also has the advantage that the pilot's eyes do not need to refocus to view the outside after looking at the optically nearer instruments First developed in the 1940s for military aircraft (from Wikipedia).

As the newer versions of Oolite have allowed more flexibility with modifying HUD elements since the early days of Oolite v.1.20 in 2004! From the halcyon days of Aegidian's Mega-Walnut dashboard (for the Fer-de-Lance), the HUD designers have risen to the challenge. There was a quantum leap under Cim's tenure as lead designer, when it was made easier to code new HUDs and the range of possibilities was greatly increased. This extended to MFDs. This happened with the release of Oolite v.1.79 in 2013/4.

The most striking versions here include the Coluber, Dangerous & Vimana HUDs.

Ships with custom HUDs: Note also that some ships come with their own HUD versions! Eg.: Coluber Racers - Blue, Red, Yellowbelly & Black; also Isis Interstellar ships, all of Simon B's ships in Neolite-Wolfies and some of his Waka series, some of Wolfwood's ships such as his Asp Explorer (Oolite), etc.

HUDs not shown here: Note also that some HUDs are not shown here: Killer Wolf's Dynamic HUD, Cyan HUD, Clear HUD, etc. See the OXP List and its links for more.

Experimenting with new HUDs The easiest way into all this is probably using HUDSelector which comes with 3 more HUDs to try out (extra-large, large & small). It will then help manage most others you download.

Four points:
1) The game specifies 2 types of HUD: small (for the Adder, the Cobra Mk.1, etc) and regular. Most of these below do not have a small variant, so you will find that your small ship defaults to the Vanilla game's small ship HUD!
2) The number of MFDs varies with the HUD (from 0 to 15)! MFDs were introduced in 2013/14
3) HUD designers often include icons for their favourite oxp equipments. See Coluber (& Deeper Space), CB (& CRR), Vimana & Z-GrOovY MiLHUD below for examples.
4) A number of HUDS have special features

  • Choice of layouts/colour - Dangerous HUD (fighter cockpit view, hauler cockpit view and glass only view, 6 colours) & Xenon HUD (2 colours)
  • Current Location Display (with Current Risk Notifier) - see Deeper Space HUD
  • Weapon Bays Missile Identifier - see ChupacabraHUD
  • Warning signs for low altitude/energy/shields/high temperature - see Vimana HUD
  • Extra add-on modules (purchasable) with some of the functions of the Combat & Navigation MFD's - see Vimana HUD
  • Sun glare contrast - see Xenon HUD
  • Sound effects - see Dangerous HUD
  • Listings of present equipment - see Z-GrOovY MiLHUD, Vimana HUD, Deeper Space HUD & the Coluber HUDs (these lists are inevitably partial - there is so much equipment)
  • Shield Capacitors gauges - see ChupacabraHUD
