imacken Posted October 10, 2019 Posted October 10, 2019 (edited) As the first thing I do every time when I get into the cockpit is lower the brightness of both the HUD and DED, does anyone know a lua file to edit to change the default? EDIT - as this thread has been moved, it’s worth saying that this is related to the F-16 Viper.

JagHond Posted October 10, 2019 Posted October 10, 2019 :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: +1, it would be more than useful... if changing its colour too could be unrealistic, of course. With best regards.
imacken Posted October 10, 2019 Author Posted October 10, 2019 I’m ok with the colour once I’ve turned the brightness down!

imacken Posted October 10, 2019 Author Posted October 10, 2019 Why has this question been moved to ‘Mods’ when it relates to the Viper?

the_soupdragon Posted October 11, 2019 Posted October 11, 2019 changing the hud colour is easy. just go to your DCS directory then to \Mods\aircraft\F-16C\Cockpit\Scripts then open up the materials.lua file in notepad++ go to line 26 which should look like this materials["HUD"] = {255, 2, 2, 200} --Red HUD and change the first three numbers (the fourth is opacity) to the colour you wish. the above numbers will give you a red HUD. these are the original numbers for a Green HUD materials["HUD"] = {2, 255, 2, 200}--Green HUD I would post a screen shot but I cant find a good easy to use free hoster. Have fun SD [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
imacken Posted October 11, 2019 Author Posted October 11, 2019 Thank you. I was happy with the colours, but changing the opacity value did the trick!

JagHond Posted October 12, 2019 Posted October 12, 2019 Thanks a lot, Soupdragon, your tip was useful to learn... until it will become possible to get a command to cicle between several settings, who knows when. With best regards.
