Barkhorn1x 14 Posted November 1, 2007 Does anybody know the setting that will change the Target Box color from red to clear (invisible)? The red target box is lame but I still like to use the target and padlock keys to point me in the right direction. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FastCargo 412 Posted November 1, 2007 Actually, if you put your HUD settings on 'Hard' I think that'll do it. Padlock and target keys still work even in hard mode (so to speak). FastCargo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You can change both size and color, but the color is some sort of code that I haven't figured out yet (it's like a set of 3 numbers) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Saganuay82 Posted November 1, 2007 (edited) One thing I can point out is to modify the size of the box. You can take it down to a minimum but will really have a hard time seeing it. Your target info box and cones will still work. [Display001] DisplayType=DIRECTOR ObjectType=TARGET_ENEMY ConeSize=5 BoxSize=1 BoxType=SQUARE BoxColor=1.0,0.0,0.0,0.75 ConeModelName=redcone Oops forgot that is in your HUDDATA.ini in your flight folder. I seem to remember having to extract it. Edited November 1, 2007 by Saganuay82 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I seem to remember having to extract it. The other option is to simply delete this entry from the HUDATA.INI. None of the TW sims have an issue with doing this.

Heck 496 Posted November 1, 2007 Change the section to this: [Display001] DisplayType=DIRECTOR ObjectType=TARGET_ENEMY ConeSize=25 BoxSize=10 BoxType=SQUARE BoxColor=0.0,0.0,0.0,0.25 ConeModelName=redcone and it will turn the box a pale gray color which is much harder to see against the background, especially the ground.

Forget who posted this originally... Would you happen to know how to decipher the color codes? I imagine it's some primary color formula but I'm at a loss as to what it is?

+Deuces 0 Posted November 2, 2007 Would you happen to know how to decipher the color codes? I imagine it's some primary color formula but I'm at a loss as to what it is? Tank the color code: BoxColor=0.0,0.0,0.0,0.25 translate to: BoxColor=R,G,B,Alpha not direct RGB colors but I've had a tool for making the RGB to Game perameter entries for quite a while. Simple find the RGB value of the color you want, in Photoshop or similar program, enter it into the tool and you will find the corresponding game code to use. As shown the last value is the alpha setting or transparency. You can use the color tool HERE Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
