MYSE1234's Realistic HUD mod

[MYSE1234]

Hello,

 

This is my HUD mod which changes the look of most HUDs/ sights in DCS.

This mod removes the default sharp HUD symbology and replaces it with new ones that have glow effects and imperfections in them which gives a more realistic feeling.

 

The way the HUDs are made in DCS limits what I can do with them, so some are changed more than other.

 

This mod is compatible with JSGME, or you can just drop it into the installation folder and overwrite the old ones.

 

This is mod is limited do the modules that own/ have access to.

I am working on the FC3 aircraft, but cant find the different symbology, so it's half done. If anyone know where they are located please tell me.

As i do not own the M2000 I can't access it's HUD files, but if someone were to send them or the module to me.:music_whistling:

Love it!! At last realistic huds!!! Tnx!!

[MYSE1234]

This is what the FC3 jets look like right now, or... well the F-15 looks like this, the other aircraft have different cockpits.

As you can see, only the letters and numbers have been edited as I can't find find the files for the other symbology.

 

Version 1.10 released

See first post

Seams like the FC3 aircraft HUDs are hardcoded and can not be changed. So all I can do with them is change the numbers and letters on the HUD, which is already in the mod, as of v1.10.

 

If you want me to add any other aircraft that is not already in the mod, send me the texture files for them and I'll have it done ASAP.

[MYSE1234]

Added MiG-21BIS to the mod.

Thanks to Dolphin887.

 

Also hoping to add the M2000 Soon™.

Currently waiting for an answer from Zeus67, hoping to get access to the texture files needed.

 

Version 1.20 released

It is, if you own the module. Which I do not.

[bouncerj21]

Great mod looks fantastic

 

Thanks

[MYSE1234]

Got good news. The Mirage is on the way.

Should be done later today.

 

However, I do not own the module so I won't be able to see how it looks in game. So you'll have to help me get it right once I release the first version. I should be able to get it fairly good but, I'll need your input.

And there we go, version 1.25 released.

Beautifull work !

 

One thing i noticed in the Mirage was the CCIP line was clearly sharper then the rest of the HUD elements.

Havent checked CCRP yet.

 

Here some mirage images

Thank you.

I have updated the textures slightly based on those screenshots. :thumbup:

 

Version 1.26

 

Edit: Seems like the CCIP line is in another texture. Will patch ASAP.

Edited April 10, 2017 by MYSE1234

[MYSE1234]

I think I have fixed the CCIP line being too sharp compared to the other lines.

 

Version 1.265

Any word on getting the FC3 planes finished?

[MYSE1234]

Sadly they are as finished as they are going to get. The HUD on the FC3 planes are hardcoded into the game, so there's no way for me to edit them more than they currently are.

Unless ED decides to change it, which is unlikely.

[REDEYE_CVW-66]

Fantastic! Thanks a lot!

[SilentWarrior]

Love it!

 

1 - Some HUDs are still too clean, looking by vids on youtube of their HUDs, I wonder if you could modify them based on the "real" ones. Or maybe make a slightly more dirty version? :))

 

2- Also, is it possible to make the HUDs float with changes in pitch/roll (its caused by fluctuations in the instruments)? Sort of like the Viggen?

 

 

I suspect 2 will be hard if not impossible :(

 

PS: if you are missing files/testers for the modules I own let me know (they are in the discription)

PS2: I hang out on the 104th server daily, usually also in their teamspeak or in Hoggit Discord and other DCS discords too, if you want a more direct contact method

1 - Which ones do you have in mind. I could make a new dirtier version of the HUDs for those who want that, so that there are two different versions: one "clean" and one "dirty".

 

2 - Sadly that is not something I have the ability to change, that I know of. I'm pretty sure that is something the devs will have to implement.

Let me leave some samples:

or

Su27: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x-uCi56dyF4&list=PL0rN0B7VNVL6AgxUZaNY9vr2JjtixBI8X

Mirage2000:

F15:

Su25:

Mig29:

 

 

I cant find videos of the correct in-game HUD versions for other aircraft sadly. Either they are fake or different versions of the same aircraft, there is several versions of the su25 and viggen for example, with modern and very old versions.

I think people's perception of what a HUD should look like is negatively affected by low-res videos and conflicting frame rates between the camera and the HUD combiner. We have a HUD in the jet I fly and while there is some "halo-ing" around the symbols, its a very crisp image. I think MYSE's rendition of it is slightly exaggerated, but feels organic and real, on the whole. Here's an example of what our HUD looks like in real life, taken by the guy sitting in the left seat while I was flying...
