TekaTeka Posted April 11, 2005 Share Posted April 11, 2005 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. http://www.fabulousfulcrums.de/Bilder1/Pipper.jpg http://www.fabulousfulcrums.de/Bilder1/S2.jpg How do you think? Anyway, find the color you like and have fun! :D EDIT: I attached the sample file of mint green HUD.HUD_color_sample.zip TekaTeka from Japan [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Visit my site Beyond Visual Range.

Force_Feedback Posted April 11, 2005 Share Posted April 11, 2005 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) Creedence Clearwater Revival:worthy: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

355th_Xantris Posted April 11, 2005 Share Posted April 11, 2005 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.

GregP Posted April 11, 2005 Share Posted April 11, 2005 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TekaTeka Posted April 11, 2005 Author Share Posted April 11, 2005 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. TekaTeka from Japan [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Visit my site Beyond Visual Range.

KuostA Posted April 12, 2005 Share Posted April 12, 2005 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!
