MFD

The two "Useful MFDs" are shown in the upper corners of this "Coluber HUD"

Overview

A multi-functional display (MFD) provides extra information on your Heads-Up Display (HUD) during flight.

There is a wide choice of MFD OXPs available in Oolite.

Navigation MFD shows details of your hyperdrive status, the systems you are in and wish to jump to, etc.
Primeable Equipment MFD allows you to use a MFD to select your Primeable Equipment. Very useful if you have a large selection!

Other OXPs use an MFD to interact with what they do.

Bounty System - the new bounties can be displayed on an MFD
EscortDeck - the MFD shows the status of your escort ships - and governs their activities
Fighters - the MFD shows the status of your fighters - and governs their activities
Targeter OXP
Waypoint Here - the location of your waypoints can be displayed on an MFD

Strangers World - details of the sun (including solar flux), the planets and the moons are displayed in an MFD.

An important OXP for MFD users:

There are another two OXPs which enable you to juggle your MFDs

MFD Fast Configuration allows you to define sets of MFDs for display in different conditions (combat/docking etc.).
HUDSelector allows you to toggle between different HUDs with different MFD settings. It also records your MFD settings for a new game.

To add one or more MFDs to your HUD, you need a different HUD from that provided in the Vanilla game.

Depending on the HUD you choose you can have between 2 & 12 MFDs available for gazing at!
