Metro Posted November 7, 2021 Posted November 7, 2021 Hello all, I kind of asked a similar question on a separate thread but did not get any responses so I am asking for help here from any .lua file experts. I am building a 1:1 Hornet pit and I have run into a bit of a problem with exporting the HUD. I have a working HUD that is not Collimated and I am aware of how this works. I used a HUD for many years of real life flying. My pit is more for show than it is for combat mission flying. The pit is kind of like having a scale model for people to see and fly. All of my combat flying is done via VR so it is not important that the HUD is Collimated for an accurate tool in this pit. With that being said, I have successfully exported the HUD to the separate reverse image monitor to display the image correctly on reflective glass. When I select Alt-F2 to remove the virtual cockpit from my main screen, the HUD is not removed from the main screen with the rest of the virtual cockpit and the image on the separate monitor disappears also. I do not want this of course. I want the HUD to stay on this separate monitor. Here it is in a video I created. In this setup, I did not do anything to the HUD .init file and it is unmodded. The next video I took some information from a thread that was posted along time ago relating to the A-10 HUD export and modded the indicator_type = indicator_types from COLLIMATOR to COMMON and I got the results I wanted as far as removing the entire virtual cockpit and retained the the image on the separate monitor. Problem here is the text and symbology in the exported HUD is one big green blob much like the problem I had in exporting the RWR. I fixed the RWR to reduce the text thickness in the .init file to make it correct and readable. I cannot find where to do this in the Hornet HUD files. Does anyone have any idea how to fix this? Here is the second video. Thank you in advance!

eaglewen Posted July 24, 2022 Posted July 24, 2022 (edited) Hi, same question for me...did you manage to get it to work? Is it possible to extract the HUD (for me from the Viper)? Thanks Edited July 24, 2022 by eaglewen
