This is a novel product for me, so I searched a bit and found this review (not the typical video, but a real written review):

 

https://www.skywardfm.com/post/heads-up-view-dt1-hud-unboxing-first-impression

 

Visited the manufacturer's website expecting to find an 800 dollar item, but I was surprised to see a price of US$ 645: https://www.headsupview.com/shop   

 

It's actually within my reach, and it really seems like a very desirable piece of kit ... the only downside (for me)  that I can see, is that it seems not compatible with the Viggen and Mirage 2000 .. but it works with the A-10, F-16, F-18 and (partly) with the F-15E.  Will start saving $$ and think an excuse for my wifey 🙃

External HUD will still use the output as it's viewport. Meaning if you dim it in game it will get dimmer on viewport. 

The proper way would be configuring the HUD device lua file to not render in game and only export. "view purposes " is the line somewhere in there. 

While the HUD kit mentioned is ever so nice and makes my wallet itch, a vestigial sense of self-preservation tells me I have to wait a while before I can justify to SWMBO. That being the case, I still want to find a half way house, and having the current HUD removed from the 'HUD View' preset and replacing it with a viewport that can be adjusted (resized) to suit in the monitorsetup .lua file would be great. 

Your statement quoted above seems to indicate that I can indeed tell the game not to render the HUD, can you expand on that? Looking at the HUD_init.lua file it quotes "purposes      = {render_purpose.GENERAL,render_purpose.HUD_ONLY_VIEW}", would removing the part "render_purpose.HUD_ONLY_VIEW" mean that the HUD view stops showing the HUD?

Cheers

I just tried it, and it does work, no more HUD in HUD view. However there must be something wrong with my .lua viewport file as it doesn't show up after inserting this 

HUD =
	{
		x = 400;
		y = -200;
		width = 400;
		height = 400;
	}

I'll keep trying

the HUD_init.lua file has this at the bottom of it 

dofile(LockOn_Options.common_script_path.."ViewportHandling.lua")
try_find_assigned_viewport("A_10C_HUD", "HUD")

I have tried both A_10C_HUD and HUD without success, however I have had this issue before on .lua files where it seems to be correct but something is not quite right, maybe the script characters are different or there is a space somewhere there shouldn't be

****EDIT Number 2*****

I was right, some thing was incorrect and redoing it now has it working - except now, despite the removal of the "render_purpose.HUD_ONLY_VIEW" from the HUD_init.lua file, now I have two instances of the HUD, the original and the new viewport version.

Going to the the Viewporthandling.lua file and commenting out the "render_purpose.HUD_ONLY_VIEW" line stops the original HUD from being rendered, but has the unfortunate side effect of knocking out the other viewports  when in HUD_view mode

Again, I'll keep trying....

Looks VERY interesting, I was just wondering if such a thing exists few weeks ago.

I would advise providing a few review samples to some of the respected YouTube sim-related content makers to advertise it as I'm sure prospective buyers would want an unbiased take on how well it works in sims (and combines with Track IR, for example) before pulling the trigger.

Is this a totally new thing? Because I've been looking for weeks! I thought for sure Google would have returned this result by now. Great find! And instructions for how to edit the lua files enclosed? Seems almost too good to be true.

Long gone are the old days of having to make all this stuff yourself. It is pretty amazing watching the flight sim hobby/obsession finally taking off with all the panels and designs we have to choose from now. We're truly blessed to have all these kinds of things available.

If a sim pilot wants to build an F/A-18C cockpit in the house, the biggest obstacle seems to be the significant other.

Kinda new, been looking all over myself. OP posted on the 2nd of November!
