Stopwatch overlay for VR? (like SRS or Scratchpad)

[DerekSpeare]

I don't think a stopwatch overlay/plugin/doodad exists for us DCS VR pilots (or for the flat earthers).  Since having a running timer and stopwatch is part of pilotage, it would be cool if such an add-on existed. 

 

Yes, some planes have timers, but some do not.  My vision for the stopwach overlay would be simple like the scratch pad or SRS.  It would have two timers, one being the elapsed flight/mission time and the other a resettable stopwatch for timing between waypoints. 

 

Can someone make one?  ED?  Can one be made easily? (likely no).

DCS_Stopwatch.zip This one just has the one timer. Based off of srs's overlay.

This is awesome! Thank you! I changed the keybinds to Ctrl+Shift+F2 and Ctrl+Shift+F3 for the toggle and resets and it works great!

He has a new version with system time and stopwatch.  I will leave it to him to post it. but there is a new version.

I'll be ready for it!
I am a big fan bc now I can see how much time I am wasting, spending in DCS .

No worries.  I prefer the simplicity of a single timer, but here it is DCS_Stopwatch_with_os_time.zip

I was getting an odd os.time() conversion, possibly due to timezones. I changed the code at line 121 to:

 table.insert(_listMessages, {
        --message = formatTime(os.time()), -- default way to do it
		message = os.date("%H:%M:%S"),
        skin=_yellowText, 
        height = 20 
    })

and it works well for me. The default method was a few hours off.
