and you'll get this except the chicken scratchin you'll have no players plane info,, no waypoint cone, a smaller waypoint marker, no red target box,, what you get is a,, small as I could get blue Triangle for a target marker,, white target info and a white target cone as always enjoy

Looks good...I also didn't like the cluttered look so went for something minimalistic in my ver. 8.0 update of the FMs (for the HUD) - it's also possible to change the settings from within the game menu (for no-hud or maximum hud guidance)...but for some odd reason we First Eagles fans (and I include myself in that group) like to edit everything in the INI files directly...that's the beauty of this sim, that it's very mod-able and flexible....it can be sim light or hardcore flight sim, depending on preferences.

 

Happy flying,

Von S

I thought I saw a thread of this buried in here,,, someone asked to rid some of the clutter in hud, I couldn't find it and I like this set up so much I couldn't contain my self,, it does work in all the Strike Fighter Series ,, didn't mean to double up on the threads
