does the mod still go through the IC?

It does not unfortunately.

Yeah, it seems last update changes something in IC

Since it breaks IC Again ED

ED can you please make a slider for the F-16, F-18 and for the AH-64D where we can change the thickness of these lines in the game options? Standard setting are way to thick...

Thanks for the info on the mod, the thickness of the lines in the IHADSS bothered me a bit even non-VR but this mod fixes it and it certainly "feels better".

Hi guys, just wondering if anyone knows is there is anything in the .lua to change the vertical position of the IHADDS unit, since it's almost an inch or two too high in my VR unit? In the Black Shark there is an option to move the eye piece down within the game itself, though I'm not sure if there is a workaround for this (for the Apache).

Did you ever find a solution for this? I would also like to reposition the IHADSS symbology downward. The target reticle is well above my line of sight, I have to tuck my chin to aim.

No, been tucking my head down for months lol. Not fun, hopefully there will be a solution some day!

Don't know if you are asking for this, but search in controls DAP, there you can adjust size and position of ihadss display......hope it helps you

Ya, this actually did help a bit - didn't even know this existed!

Sizing it down and lowering it makes it better than what it was, though still hoping for an option to move the IHADDS unit itself down (which should fix any issues I'm having).

Thanks for the heads-up!

 

Edit: Found out my WMR was off, which made the angle I was looking at wrong, and made the IHADSS look almost correct - in this case, about 20 degrees downwards. Left the Apache and jumped over to the F5 and was looking (partially) at the seat lol. So, uninstalled WMR, reinstalled, tried the Apache again, cockpit seating was corrected, and still had the issue with the high IHADSS unit.

Oh well, was a good try, and may still be quite useful if they eventually are able to adjust the main IHADSS position.

Thank you!!  It moves down and shrinks just enough to be where I had in mind.

Also, like in all my US jets, i change the color of the hud to something more akin to what i saw IRL and on videos.

for the AH-64 this is the line I change into the materials.lua 

 

the original is : 

 

BACKUP your material.lua before doing any mod

Dude - thank you SOOOOO MUCH!!!

here is how i like my HUD's and IHADSS

 

So I copied the same color values that you had posted in this thread. While it does look better - it still doesn't have the same, or really any, transparency like yours does. Mine seems completely solid. What am I missing, here?

Since the last opdate my IHADS has been currupt.. the compass ribbon being positioned in the middle of the IHADSS display....So i have basically copied the DSPLS_Symbology.lua from core files, update the lenes as pewr first post and the IHADSS is now aligned again correctly with Compass ribbon in right place. 

 

Images show corrupted IHADSS and the other with updsated lua script.

Nice idea, the lines are too "fat" for VR flying for me. Can you share your file od manual how to do it or where?

Here you have some pictures, Beirut. The effect is less subtle in VR. First screenshot is default lines, second is edited .lua.

By the way, works in all symbologies.

 

Could you make it something similar for F-16 to make stronger indications because they're usually lost because of weather, sun and clouds?

Bump. @Eagle Dynamics is this something on your backlog to be implemented when there’s room to develop?

Sorry, I have only just seen thism message...  attached is the lua script i use for thiner lines. 

You should ideally use a mod manager like OVGME but the path to where the lua file goes is here..

C:\Program Files\DCS World\Mods\aircraft\AH-64D\Cockpit\Scripts\Displays\DSPLS

DSPLS_Symbology.lua

[Mainstay]

Since this broke since an update i updated the file.

Same story as above

C:\Program Files\DCS World\Mods\aircraft\AH-64D\Cockpit\Scripts\Displays\DSPLS

DSPLS_Symbology.lua
