Wide-Screen HUD

Description

Wide-Screen HUD is the first Oolite HUD designed specifically, and only, for screens with 8:5 and 16:9 aspect ratios.

Wide-Screen HUD features a colour-changing radar scanner, whose appearance varies according to current conditions. Like my previous MilHUD 4000, Wide-Screen HUD will also detect the use of Police IFF Scanner Upgrade OXP, and if the player has purchased the upgraded scanner, will change to a special police scanner colour that de-emphasises police vessels and maximizes visibility of civilian vessels on the scanner.

Wide-Screen HUD also features a unique jump stability meter which appears during the countdown to a witchspace jump.

To use, place the Wide-Screen HUD OXP into your "AddOns" folder, and remove any other HUD OXPs. Also remove any OXPs which announce beacons, such as Talkative Space Compass OXP; when cycling the Advanced Space Compass through beacons mode, Wide-Screen HUD will announce full beacon codes.

I'm hoping someone with a wide screen and a ooniverse with great graphics (Griff, Staer9, Povray Planets, etc.) would like to test it and contribute some great screen shots to be used on this page.
