Hi

In the ControlsIndicator_page.lua, {0,-(1 - 1.5*totalSizeX)} is what shows in the base.init_pos (line 67).  How do I adjust that, as I'm not sure which variable controls which element of the indicator's position.

Right now, it shows up on the bottom of my Left Cougar display, but is annoyingly off-center, so it doesn't have to move much

[Mapi]

ok: my way, it works for me

base.init_pos = {x, Y}

Waht a waste of time... again

now with the default position

I’ll have to fool around with the x,y numbers to get it cantered where I want it. If I do the math it’s (0, -0.7) currently.

How did you get it to show up in red?

{0,-(1 - 1.5*totalSizeX)}

I have it figured out, ended up being (0.05, -0.65)

Perfectly aligned in the lower left Cougar

Now to figure out the colour!

...aaaaand figured out the colour   Turns out you have to edit the same lua file by changing all instances of texture_lightgreen to texture_red.  You can then edit the local texture_red = MakeMaterial ("arcade.tga",{255, 0, 176, 255}) as required to get whatever colour you want. Now to figure out how to have that stick and not have to do it after each update

So where is this file guys? Thx!

Main Game/Mods/Aircraft/F14/Cockpit/Scripts/ControlsIndicator/ControlsIndicator_page.lua

The background transparency line is 45, make them all 0 in the { } brackets, the position line is 67, I edited mine as above from {0,-(1 - 1.5*totalSizeX)}, there are several lines for colour, I just edited wherever it said texture_lightgreen (except line 3 which I left alone) and replaced with texture_red (there are 8 instances in the file)
