@BuzzU I just had a quick look at some of the game files and it appears the F-16 HUD symbology is slightly transparent whereas the F/A-18 and A-10 HUDs are not. To me it is a very minor difference but maybe that's the reason why it is easier for you. If you go to your mods/aircraft/F-16C/Cockpit/Scripts folder and open materials.lua you can change the color and transparency of the HUD and HMD yourself and see if it helps any. The lines to edit would be line 24: materials["HUD"] = {2, 255, 20, 200} and line 56: materials["HMD_SYMBOLOGY_MATERIAL"] = {2, 255, 20, 255} The first number is the red value, the second number is the green value, the third number is the blue value, and the last number is the transparency value. I believe 0 is the minimum value for each and 255 is the maximum value for each.

It does not break IC for MP

I attached the files I used in my original post. The only files I edited were the config.lua in cockpit/scripts and then I increased the stroke thickness a little in the MFD_left_init.lua and MFD_right_init.lua for when the LCD effect is off. If you want to only edit the HSD range rings or edit the colors I am not sure how to do that unfortunately.

Yeah I forgot to mention that it makes the exported MFDs unreadable. If you want better exported MFDs I would recommend the files that SPAS79 uploaded on post # 46 of this thread https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=251203. It should be noted that while those files make the exported MFDs better they make the in game ones even worse and it messes up the exported EHSI.

I messed with some of the files and removed the LCD effect and that seemed to make the MFDs much brighter and more readable. The first two pictures are from the default reclined flying position and all pictures are with the sun in front of the jet. It does make the white outline around the screen flicker a bit and the EHIS is a little harder to read but hopefully this helps some people until ED fix them. F-16C Readable MFDs.zip

I just did a quick test and self-illumination does work.
