Help Needed - HUD Only View

[luke88]

I'm hoping somebody out there can help me out...

 

I have recently started flying with the HUD only view (alt-F1) and am really starting to like it. When I need some cockpit info, I just snap to the part of the cockpit that I need using modified snap views.

 

My question is this - how can I disable the Shkval and Abris windows that are in the corners of the HUD view? I could have sworn that I read something about someone moving these by editing a lua file somewhere, but I can"t for the life of me find that post.

 

I would really like to have the full panorama without the obstructions in the corners. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks

change the actual location in your MonitorSetup folder. Choose the .lua that you have designated (e.g. two cameras etc.). Then relocate via the x = xxxx; y=xxxx;

 

Maybe changing the size to width = 0

Height = 0

 

Don't know, but its a place to start.

 

Now is there anyone to start out in the HUD only view, instead of hitting the button each time?

Thanks for the suggestion Slick Twitchy, but I don't think the files you are talking about have anything to do with the HUD only view. I'm using the "3cameras" view which doesn't have reference to the abris and shkval at all, just like the default "1camera" file doesn't. It only has information on how the views aligned to one another and viewing direction.

 

As to your question...

The only thing I can think of for starting off in HUD only mode is to try making it the initial snap view by saving it with the save cockpit angles command. (?) Other than that there may be a lua file somewhere that tells the program what initial view to start with. Maybe its the same file that has the abris and shkval mapped into the HUD only view.... ;)

No, it definitely changes where the Shkval and Abris are located (even in HUD only), cause I am using a 3 monitor setup, and when I go to HUD only, the Shkval and Abris keep their postions on the other monitors.

Well I tried what you said and lo and behold it worked perfectly! I just added...

 

Shkval =

{

x = 0;

y = 0;

width = 0;

height = 0;

}

 

ABRIS =

{

x = 0;

y = 0;

width = 0;

height = 0;

}

 

to the end of my monitor settings file and it worked like a charm.

 

Thanks a bunch! :thumbup:

Can I view the Shkval or Abris in fullscreen mode without cockpit and movement? like the shkval and Abris view in the "Only HUD view".....
