I hope someone on the forums can answer this. how do you get rid of specific messages?i will explain,when flying the f-4c I need the radar range settings displayed so I want that message.what I don't want is the message "mig-21targeted" or "mig-17 targeted" or whatever aircraft.how do I get rid of just this message.i am running my HUD on normal setting and yes I could put it on hard but then I lose the radar range message and the range knob is not in the cockpit that I can find.any advice would be appreciated.

Ok got pretty much everything the way I want but have another question.how do you get rid of specific messages?i will explain,when flying the f-4c I need the radar range settings displayed so I want that message.what I don't want is the message "mig-21targeted" or "mig-17 targeted" or whatever aircraft.how do I get rid of just this message.i am running my HUD on normal setting and yes I could put it on hard but then I lose the radar range message and the range knob is not in the cockpit that I can find.any advice would be appreciated.

Ok ,will try the messagesystem .ini but I did kinda get it to work.if I put the HUD on easy and set the labels to false I still retain the black dot but I only have one small problem the waypoint numbers still show.not the cone mind you but the distance and waypoint number.i have messed with everything in the huddata pertaining to the waypoint but the numbers still appear.if I could get rid of the waypoint numbers it would be pretty good.oh and I still get the mission accomplished message too.i know if you set the HUD to normal theses things go away but so do the black dots.will keep messing with it.thanks for the help wrench.

thanks for the reply wrench. I was trying not to remove the labels but make the text so small it would look like a dot so you could see other enemy aircraft not just the targeted one.malibu43 and romflyer talked about this awhile back but I never heard if they got it to work so I thought I would try my hand at it and see if I could really screw things up.

EDIT: figured out the labels.set the hud to easy,DUH.still need to know color and where to edit the text in the huddata.

I have been tweaking my huddata.ini and have some questions maybe someone could answer.the enemy target director color is red by default (1.0,0.0,0.0,0.75) what would black be?i have subtitles turned off but I still get the mig??? targeted message how do I turn that off?i think this question has been asked before but I cant remember,the enemy labels in game what part of the huddata do I edit to make the text smaller?if the radar is set to hard will the labels even show at all?

says error 404 page not found

Thanks for the replies.that answered all my questions.i know I can't download things on my ipad but i like to look at what's new.

Is there a trick to using the mobile version i don't have a downloads button or a more button like the PC version to get to the downloads section unless I go to the downloads section with the PC version and then click mobile version at the bottom of the page.I am using my ipad 2.

that worked.thanks to ianh755 and the trooper for their help

Ok that would explain it.i'll try it tomorrow.thanks for the help.

I must not be doing something right I opened it up in paint.net and changed all the yellow colored tga's in the HUD folder and nothing changed.could their be others somewhere else I missed.?

i posted a pic of the hud I'm changing the color on.as you can see everything changed to green except the roll indicator.anybody have any idea what i need to change to make the roll indicator green?

Here's what I would like to do.i have the su-30mk2 and would like to replace the HUD info with something a little more accurate in real life ie:range bars,missile launch range bars,launch authorization symbology ,nav info,etc.so if anyone has an idea of a good Russian HUD representation I could swap into the su-30 I would be a happy guy.(I'm kinda a stickler for detail when it comes to the HUD)

I have a question for all the knowledgable cockpit modders.how would I transfer the information displayed on the HUD from one aircraft to another aircraft HUD?i know I need to change some HUD files in the cockpit folder but which ones.what other things need changed.if there's already a article on this could someone please direct me to it.any help would be greatly appreciated.

anyone know what happened to the pak fa that was supposed to be in the works for SF2?

changed the avionics dll to avionics70dll and that fixed it everything works now. A big THANK YOU to everyone for their help

thanks wrench,i think you're right because on the block 1 hornets one of the ini's(don't remember which one)has the 70dll and the other ini has the f-14dll.so I think thats why the block 1 hornets work and not the block 2(only the one ini on block 2 with f-14dll).so I think your suggested fix will work.i'll try it later this evening.

Aircraft data ini on the block 2 shows AvionicsDLL=AvionicsF14A.dll.cockpit folder has a HUD folder and radar folder in it.but I found it strange that the block 1 f-18's have 2 .ini files one is spelled FA-18E _BlockI and the other is FA18E_BLKI and they both have different avionics dll's the block 2 only has one ini spelled FA-18E_BLK II.

Ok logan4 I will check,but It will be later.spending time with the wife right now.thank you for your help.

thanks for replying wrench.now it gets interesting.what is the avionics dll pointer?

but only on the block 2 hornets.block one hornets work fine

oh and no radar either can't get it to turn on

got the textures back but now the HUD only has a circle with a dot no info.this plane is giving me fits if it isn't one thing its another.
