HUD only lua

I like to flip on the HUD only mode to look down, like an F-35 HMD can do. With the Hornet the MPCD screen overlay is right in the middle though. Anyone know the location of the HUD only (F1 alternate view) .lua so I can make it not show that?

For the middle one the .lua file is:

D:\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World OpenBeta\Mods\aircraft\FA-18C\Cockpit\Scripts\Multipurpose_Display_Group\AMPCD\indicator\AMPCD_init.lua

For the other two the file is:

D:\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World OpenBeta\Mods\aircraft\FA-18C\Cockpit\Scripts\Multipurpose_Display_Group\MDI_IP1556A\indicator\MDI_init.lua

For both modify the "purposes" line to read: purposes = {render_purpose.GENERAL}

This has to be done after every update/repair.

Update: This isn't working now after yesterday's update

After one update for a week or so, the HUD only view showed quasi transparent screens, which worked great.

I think editing the lua gives you a MP server error.

Thank you so much, SMN!

I knew someone would figure it out.

Failing IC hasn't been my experience, thankfully.

I hope that remains the same with the edit SMN provided above.

And how to restore the transparency of displays in HUD_Only?

У меня прозрачность пропала после обновления.

У меня прозрачность пропала после обновления.

This only for delete from "HUD View Only" 3 screens ( AMPCD & MDIs).

Это только для удаления 3-х дисплеев с вида HUD только..

Прозрачность не меняют...

I only delete middle AMPCD, is good enough, also for helicopter

Я понял, что данный способ не влияет на прозрачность.

Просто спросил на всякий случай. До обновления работало вот это в файле materials.lua:

materials["MPD_BACKGROUND"] = {0, 0, 0, 128}.

А теперь все, черные экраны опять. Хорошо, что еще размеры дисплеев менять возможность оставили.

Нашел!

Been looking for this, thank you very much to all!

I know, right? I have a growing list of .lua changes to make after every update or repair

Thanks all, this is great.

Use JSGME (or the other one), once setup its just a button.

This ^^^ +1. Started using OvGME and made life much sweeter.
