changing the nav-map ?

Ok,this is my way:
1.)HUD.
a.)Go to Freelancer\DATA\EQUIPMENT\MODELS\ST, there find no_thruster.
Copy it(I suggest you)
b.)Go to Freelancer\DATA\INTERFACE\HUD,paste it there(I suggest).Find there(in current folder)
next files:
hud_guagewindow
hud_shipinfo_min
hud_target_min
hud_shipinfo
hud_target
hud_maneuverbox5
hud_maneuverbox8
hud_nnbox4
hud_nnbox5
hud_nnbox6
hud_nnbox7
hud_numberboxes
c.)Go to Freelancer\DATA\INTERFACE\BASESIDE,paste no_thruster there(I suggest).Find there city_maneuvertab1
d.)Now yoy have to replace all of these files with no_thruster, BUT WITHOUT renameing them.
For example,you find hud_shipinfo_min,delete it,paste no_thruster instead and rename it to hud_shipinfo_min.
You got me.
One catch:there are 2 hud_nnbox7 files in HUD folder,delete one(any of) before replacing.
2.)NAVMAP.
a.)Go to Freelancer\DATA\INTERFACE\NEURONET\NAVMAP\NEWNAVMAP
Do above mentioned to the following files:
nav_prettymap
zoomedmap_liberty
navmap_background
nav_navmap_left
nav_navmap_right
3.)Play a bit with it to find out what combination suits you.
4.)Launch FreeLancer.
5.)Enjoy.
6.)Tell me,if it is worthy to be some kind of tutorial.
7.)

P.S.
Hope you'll like it,looks like you are in the cockpit of a real fighter,especially if you make text "thiner",like in crossfire,I don't know how to do it,if anybody knows please tell me.
You can also use simple empty 3db file instead of no_thruster.

You might as well have just deleted all of the HUD files instead of trying to replace them with the nomad thruster model. All you have is a clear screen with the systems icons & names displayed on it.
If you edit the models you can change the HUD color, transparency and if your into doing a mod even create a custom HUD.

Well,deleting these files caused CTD in my case.Or maybe I missed something.

And two more things I want to ask:
Is there a way to change HUD position on the screen,vertically and horizontally(I've already asked it,but still);and how to make text 'thiner',like in crossfire for example."cos the original FL text is to big and fat,looks like bold text,and I want normal.
