About

This is a HUD in the style of Elite Dangerous, featuring an orange theme for both the HUD and for the GUI, cockpit views, glass effect, monitor effect for aft view, new sounds effects (ECM, hyperjumps, low energy, missile warning), custom made warnings signs, HUD animations including a pulsating scanner. Based on phkb's Xenon HUD.

The Dangerous HUD has two modes: cockpit view mode and glass only modes. To switch between them, first prime the "Dangerous HUD Mode Selector" then press the activation key.

Tested with vanilla Oolite as well as with BGS (Backgroundset) and Xenon UI OXPs, all of which work fine with the orange colour scheme. Be warned that this HUD is more CPU intensive than your standard HUD, so a weak machine may not run it very well.

Finally, if you also happen to play Elite Dangerous at the same time as Oolite, you perhaps would like to take a look at mine Dangerous Keyconfig OXP which remaps Oolite's keyboard controls in a similar way as Elite Dangerous, so that one does not go crazy getting used to two different keyboard layouts for the same functions.
