Phasers Posted January 7, 2018 Posted January 7, 2018 Is there a way to change the colors in the heads up display? Quote
Wrench Posted January 7, 2018 Posted January 7, 2018 yes, by repainting the R/G/B channels of the relevant TGA's used. Extract them, place in the a /Cockpit folder within the aircraft in question's main folder (example: F-15A/Cockpit/*name of tga*), and repaint. You should find listing of them by going line-by-line through the cockpit ini (for the main gunsight's name) and the avionics ini for all the rest. Mind you, there IS a callout (in hexidecimal colors) in the avionics ini for "HUDColor=", but IIRC that won't change the color of the TGAs used. you will, of course, need a paint program that works with 32 bit TGAs, and when saving won't destroy or damage the alpha channel. Have fun!! Quote
alexis99 Posted March 7, 2018 Posted March 7, 2018 Easy way to change the color in the HUD is to alter the HUDcolor entry in the avionics.ini of the aircraft in question. I use yellow, because it works well over blue skies and green earth, and desert. So to get yellow Avionics.ini [HUD] HUDcolor=1.0,1.0,0.0,1.0 If you want other colors, you just need to experiment I believe the first three numbers in the HUDColor entry refer to Red, Green, Blue. I have Red 1.0, Green 1.0, but Blue 0.0: Red+Green makes yellow. So if you want a blue HUD, it would be 0.0,0.0,1.0,1.0. The fourth number probably refers to intensity, or something, just leave it at 1.0. I presume using numbers lower than 1.0 for the first three entries would enable you to concoct subtle variations in color Quote
