pop-ups

[alexis99]

Don't know if this may be of interest, but I use the pop-ups at the side, in line with the new message bar position for aircraft that don't have visible RADAR and RWR without scrolling the cockpit.

The only problem with the RWR is that it's always on. But you don't have to add it. In fact some aircraft don't need it because the RWR is visible in the cockpit. If the aircraft already has visible RWR, I just cancel [Display006]

If it has visible radar, I just make the width and height entries in [Display004] set at zero. (An ancient trick)

I keep a set of different HUDDATA.inis for different aircraft, and then just slot the appropriate one into the flight folder.

These are the changed and added entries in the HUDDATA.ini from the FLIGHT folder for this A-6, a slightly modified Razbam.

[Display004]
DisplayType=RADAR
PosX=0.048
PosY=0.615
Width=0.1625
Height=0.217
Alpha=1.0
InitTime=2.0

[Display006]
DisplayType=RWR
PosX=0.147
PosY=0.490
Width=0.06375
Height=0.1125
Alpha=1.0
InitTime=2.0

This is an alternative arrangement that looks a little neater. I think it works better with the Corsair.

To save you number crunching, it's this:

[Display004]
DisplayType=RADAR
PosX=0.080
PosY=0.660
Width=0.1300
Height=0.1742
Alpha=1.0
InitTime=2.0

AND

[Display006]
DisplayType=RWR
PosX=0.010
PosY=0.6595
Width=0.09978
Height=0.1746
Alpha=1.0
InitTime=2.0

The F/A-18 has some finely detailed RADAR and RWR displays so I tried larger pop-ups. The RADAR is on the right this time, because it is on the right of the cockpit panel.

It just saves me moving my thumb a quarter of an inch to scroll down from the HUD to the panel. But then in combat I really need HUD, RADAR and RWR on screen at the same time.

To save interested parties from number crunching, here are the numbers I used:

HUD DATA

[Display004]
DisplayType=RADAR
PosX=0.801
PosY=0.580
Width=0.1875
Height=0.250
Alpha=1.0
InitTime=2.0

and

[Display006]
DisplayType=RWR
PosX=0.010
PosY=0.5800
Width=0.142
Height=0.250
Alpha=1.0
InitTime=2.0
