Petrovich menu in VR mode on Aiming Station

[YoYo]

Hello,

thx for improving Aiming Station for VR mode, now it looks ok, just THE ONE WISH - is it possible to move a little to left and down Petrovich menu in VR mode on Aiming Station? This unfortunately covers almost 1/5 of the screen as you can see below:

 

 

Pretty please to move Petrovich menu outside from the sight's window  or.... do more transparent ...... Just wishes.

Btw. this is the picture from 2D screen:

Go to the folder: \DCS World OpenBeta\Mods\aircraft\Mi-24P\Cockpit\Scripts\HelperAI

Open: HelperAI_indicator.lua

 

Find the highlighted line:

For compass_pos = {0, -0.45}, the '0' is X and the '-0.45' is Y

 

Example: {-0.15, -0.55} is left and lower than default

Whereas {0.20, -0.25} is right and higher than default

 

Try it out, and see what value(s) work for you.

To make the compass more transparent, find the following lines, in the same file:

compass_cross.material
compass_base.material
compass_scale.material
compass_arrow.material
compass_marks_white.material
compass_marks_yellow.material
mode_holder_white.material
mode_holder_yellow.material
speed_holder_yellow.material
speed_holder_white.material
alt_holder_yellow.material
alt_holder_white.material
course_holder_white.material

 

The final 255 in each line respresents the alpha, so a lower value will make the objecti more transparent.

255,255,255,255

 

Example: compass_cross.material = MakeMaterial("Mods/aircraft/Mi-24P/Textures/ai_compass_cross.dds",{255,255,255,050})

 

If you don't feel like sifting through the file, and changing all of the alphas, I included a modded LUA with the above alpha values set to 50.

 

HelperAI_page_common.lua

 

Screenshot for comparison: Modded (left) vs. Default (right)
