HUD remake mod possibility?

Mon May 19, 2003 9:46 am by RMSe17

I was wondering if it was a mod in the making that would replace the HUD symbols with something that looked good. The gugantic purple waypoint markers just kill the game.. And the lines are so fat... Nothing like the thin-green/yellow/red lines of all the other flight sims... And the arrows for enemies get huge too... The game looks like it was made for people with sight disability, its like having a mouse cursor the size of an icon.

If there is no such mod currently in the making, I hope someone will make one eventuially, because I am sure many people will agree with me on how retarded the hud symbols look right now...

Well, I cant give you much advice but just to let you know there is life out there, I was thinking about the same thing. Off of the top of my head and some half-assed snooping arround in the freelancer data files, my guess would be that you can simply replace the 3db files with your own. As long as you keep the height/width the same you shouldnt have any problems. There are also some .cmp files in here....possibly something you could config with utf edit.

Let me know if you come up with anything, I want to work on it but I have to finish working on the parts i started on

The only thing I can recommend now is switching your cockpit do a different cockpit (preferably rheinland) this is pretty easy, and as for the question, it is VERY possible to do, someone out here will heed the call and go make some kickass cockpits, RIGHT????, but I was just wondering, why do the cockpits in FL have so LITTLE detail, if you've played FS2002 another Microsoft Flight Sim, you will notice that the cockpits are the next step from real.
