 +
== Considerations for choosing a HUD ==
 +
The most sophisticated HUDs ''seem'' to be CB-HUD Mark III, Dangerous HUD, Vimana, Vimana-X, Xenon & Z-GrOovY MiLHUD‎.
  
−
=== List of HUDs ===
+
=== Clutter ===
−
*1 Aad HUD
+
Do you want a good view of everything in space around you? Or do you want lots of dials/MFDs giving you information about the space around you?
−
*2 Another HUD
+
 
−
*3 CB-HUD
+
=== Viewscreens vs Windows, Consoles ===
−
*4 ChupacabraHUD
+
Do you envisage yourself as looking out a window with a HUD projected onto it? Or as gazing at a viewscreen? <br>
−
*5 Coluber HUD CH01
+
And do you want to see a control console in front of you?
−
*6 CombatHUD
+
 
−
*7 Compact HUD
+
If you prefer windows, the Dangerous HUD is the most extreme example.
−
*8 CRR-HUD
+
If you prefer viewscreens, try the Plagiarism HUD.
−
*9 Dangerous HUD
+
 
−
*10 DeeperSpace HUD
+
Consoles are available from the Deepspace HUD, Deeper Space HUD, Fighter HUD, Isis HUD, MegaWalnut Dash, NovaLux, Steampunk, Trek, Venom, Plagiarism & Z-GrOovY MiLHUD. See [[HUD images here]] for more information.
−
*11 Deepspace HUD
+
 
−
*12 Deepspace Retro HUD
+
=== Size ===
−
*13 Dr HUD
+
There are two considerations here.
−
*14 ExtraLarge HUD
+
:1) The size of your ship. Oolite defines a smaller HUD for a small ship such as an [[adder]], but only a handful of HUD OXPs include these small sizes.
−
*15 Fighter HUD
+
:2) The size of your monitor. Some HUDs allow for a rather larger computer screen.
−
*16 G-HUD
+
 
−
*17 Isis HUD
+
=== Large Scanners ===
−
*18 KeeperHUD
+
Do you want a large scanner? See [[HUD images here]] for options.
−
*19 Klepto HUD
 
−
*20 Large HUD
 
−
*21 Medusa HUD
 
−
*22 Mega Walnut Dash HUD
 
−
*23 MilHUD 4000
 
−
*24 MilHUD (Military Specification HUD)
 
−
*25 MillHUD Refit
 
−
*26 Mod HUD
 
−
*27 Nova Lux HUD
 
−
*28 Numeric Style HUDs
 
−
*29 OrangED HUD
 
−
*30 Pie Chart Style HUDs
 
−
*31 Small HUD
 
−
*32 Smart HUD
 
−
*33 Sniper Camera System HUD
 
−
*34 Steampunk HUD
 
−
*35 SW (CAI/DAI) HUD
 
−
*36 Trek HUD
 
−
*37 Venom Cockpit HUD
 
−
*38 Vimana HUD
 
−
*39 Wide-Screen HUD
 
−
*40 Wolfwood HUD
 
−
*41 Xenon HUD
 
−
*42 Yet Another HUD
 
−
*43 Z-GrOovY MiLHUD
 
  
−
=== Considerations ===
+
=== Cheating ===
−
*Date
+
Do you think that the HUD is a cheat? Gnievmir's original Vimana HUD also improves your ship (adds speed, energy, missile slots & cargo capacity, and allows purchase of a super-laser), Deeperspace HUD warns about danger based on the ratio of pirates/Thargoids to police in the entire solar system.
−
*Author
 
−
*Actual speed shown?
 
−
*Actual Torus speed shown?
 
−
*Different HUDs for different green/yellow/red conditions/alerts?
 
−
*Range of alerts shown
 
−
*Docked HUD?
 
−
*HUD Selector compatible?
 
−
*No. of MFDs?
 
−
*Extras? (eg Vimana HUD's cornucopia of goodies, DeeperSpace's Risk Assessment, Xenon HUD's sights, Dangerous HUD's noises).
 
−
*Precision Joystick Indicator?
 
−
*Glare filter?
 
−
*Glare contrast? (for reading HUD in Glare - cf Xenon HUD)
 
−
*Current Location Display & Current Risk Notifier (Deeper Space HUD)
 
−
*Distance from Compass target?
 
−
*Weapons Bay Missile identifier? (ChupacabraHUD)
 
−
*Extra reticles for other lasers (Xenon)
 
−
*Choice of Colours? (Dangerous HUD & Xenon HUD)
 
−
*Choice of Cockpits? (Dangerous HUD)
 
−
*Natural materials? (Mega Walnut Dash)

The Vanilla game HUD

Considerations for choosing a HUD

The most sophisticated HUDs seem to be CB-HUD Mark III, Dangerous HUD, Vimana, Vimana-X, Xenon & Z-GrOovY MiLHUD‎.

Clutter

Do you want a good view of everything in space around you? Or do you want lots of dials/MFDs giving you information about the space around you?

Viewscreens vs Windows, Consoles

Do you envisage yourself as looking out a window with a HUD projected onto it? Or as gazing at a viewscreen?
And do you want to see a control console in front of you?

If you prefer windows, the Dangerous HUD is the most extreme example. If you prefer viewscreens, try the Plagiarism HUD.

Consoles are available from the Deepspace HUD, Deeper Space HUD, Fighter HUD, Isis HUD, MegaWalnut Dash, NovaLux, Steampunk, Trek, Venom, Plagiarism & Z-GrOovY MiLHUD. See HUD images here for more information.

Size

There are two considerations here.

1) The size of your ship. Oolite defines a smaller HUD for a small ship such as an adder, but only a handful of HUD OXPs include these small sizes.
2) The size of your monitor. Some HUDs allow for a rather larger computer screen.

Large Scanners

Do you want a large scanner? See HUD images here for options.

Cheating

Do you think that the HUD is a cheat? Gnievmir's original Vimana HUD also improves your ship (adds speed, energy, missile slots & cargo capacity, and allows purchase of a super-laser), Deeperspace HUD warns about danger based on the ratio of pirates/Thargoids to police in the entire solar system.

HUDs

The following table is optimized for a horizontal screen resolution of at least 1280px so that all OXP descriptions fit on one line.
