HUD color tweak

[TekaTeka]

In 1.1, you can make the HUD color customized.

Open \Config\View\view.lua , scroll down to the section shown below and edit the numbers.

You can set the color for each aircraft.

 

-- HUD RGB color

HUDColor = {}

HUDColor[PlaneIndex.iSu_27] = {0, 255, 0}

HUDColor[PlaneIndex.iSu_33] = {0, 255, 0}

HUDColor[PlaneIndex.iSu_25] = {255, 255, 0}

HUDColor[PlaneIndex.iSu_39] = {0, 255,0} <-- Su-25T

HUDColor[PlaneIndex.iMiG_29] = {0, 255, 0}

HUDColor[PlaneIndex.iMiG_29K] = {0, 255, 0} <-- No use

HUDColor[PlaneIndex.iA_10] = {0, 255, 0}

HUDColor[PlaneIndex.iF_15] = {0, 255, 0}

 

I can show you some color samples.

 

The colors you are familialized with:

 

Green : 0, 255, 0

Deep Green : 0, 192, 0

Dark Green : 0, 128, 0

 

Yellow : 255, 255, 0

Deep Yellow : 192, 192, 0

Dark Yellow : 128, 128, 0

 

Red : 255, 0, 0

Deep Red : 192, 0, 0

Dark Red : 128, 0, 0

 

My choice is this:

 

Mint Green : 70, 255, 160

 

I tried this color in various situations and it looked natural and easy to read anytime.

I took some screenshots of my mint green HUD.

 

This is the actual color you can refer.

How do you think?

 

Anyway, find the color you like and have fun! :D

 

EDIT: I attached the sample file of mint green HUD.

Old news, im flying with a black hud in the 1.1 demo from day one

I really got fed up with the green thingie, so I deceided to take a look at those lua files, then I discovered that setting the last values to 225 made the hud white (lol, then I realised colours are being made of red+green+blue, so changed the last digits to 0 :P)

I know.

I just wanted to introduce this info to people who don't know yet.

Yes, your instructions are nice, and clear, unlike mine :|

[D-Scythe]

Knew how to do this, but even so, thank you for figuring out a better colour for the rest of us! Using it right now :)

[Witchking]

devs! can u introduce values in the LUA so that we can change the HUD stuff transparency?

 

btw...tekateka thanx for that...will remember to use this colour when I get the CD version of 1.1 ;)

Nice one Teka, although I can only use red cause I find cockpit reflections too fps demanding and when I put them off, the green one is hardly to see when hud is looking into the blue air.

[Guest Cali]

Thanks!!! I just found my new setting.

TekaTeka,

 

I haven't had more than about 10 minutes to fiddle with 1.1 since it came out, so I don't know the answer to this fairly simple question: does the HUD color change function (Ctrl-H) not work anymore? Or are you just showing a better default color?

[TekaTeka]

does the HUD color change function (Ctrl-H) not work anymore? Or are you just showing a better default color?

Ctrl-H still works and you will see old preset colors.

The tweak only changes the default color.

I like the mint green, looks great in all 4 pics

[Guest ruggbutt]

The tweak replaces the bright green color.

[EvilBivol-1]

Transparencies are not possible with the current implementation of the HUD.

[KuostA]

Absolutely phenomenal tweak. The change, though minor, is amazingly helpful. It does look overwhelmingly more realistic. Though definitely not an original find like others have noted, It definitely is helpful for those who have not bothered to fiddle with and tweak to pick a perfect setting like that.

 

Thanks!

[jason_peters]

I agree - this is a great tweak - looks much more like the real thing -Good work

 

ED should 100% include this in the patch

[169th_Moose]

Mint green tweak looks awesome, Thanks

[gustav]

Very nice, definitely my favorite from now on. Good for everything but fighting in the clouds.

[stefostef]

great color tip TekaTeka, now mint green is my basic color hud in all planes

[D-Scythe]

Pretty much bang on for me.

 

 

Maybe a bit more green, but it's a lot better than the default colour.

[169th_Cobra]

Thanks Teka ... exactly what i was looking for!

[Outlaw24]

Nice tip, thanks!

[169th_Jaws]

Wow! Now that mint green is a really nice setting! Looks very realistic and has great visibility. That's my new setting!

[Kevlon]
