what's this

[IronMike]

Tape was also something used by pilots themselves, though not sure if in regards to the buttons popping out. But we know from some pilots that they would tape switches to have a more haptic feedback of what is what, or tape up lights that would distract them, etc... The upside of tape is that it can be applied by anyone at anytime, with practically zero effort, and removed just as quickly.

We'll talk more about this in the update we will publish soon, to not spill all beans ahead, but once done, it will be pretty sweet imho.

I would like this to lead to being able to choose one of the newer HUDs!

That's a whole other thing, which would require a helluva lot more than just graphical changes. A newer HUD simply was not found in the A, A+/B at all. You would only see a sparrohawk HUD in the B/U (upgraded B) and later a Kaiser HUD in the D (to simplify it a bit). It would be very unrealistic to have a newer HUD in the A or B even. 

Additionally, just making a new HUD is not a thing you can do just quickly on the side. It is months of work, because you need to connect everything that interfaces in the HUD, weapon modes, navigation modes, etc etc...

But the main reason remains: newer HUDs were not seen in the A and B, and thus even if feasible timewise, will not happen.

As a former Navy AE and a current software engineer, I understand.

Everyone is always asking for the D, so I'll switch it up. Any chance of Heatblur doing B/U?

Thanks.

You're new here, so in short: no, same as D. No plans for it and no available documents to model it with proper quality and accuracy.

Clicking on it to remove it (like the HUD camera) would rock.  But that should only be for the tape more than the wire maybe... probably too complicated....

I would love it if you touch the tape with the VR Controller hands and it started to stick to your virtual VR hands.
