Configurable HUD

(1/3) > >>

reekchaa:
Not to press at all, Dan, but I'm always anxious to hear about the progress of stuff.  :)

I remember seeing some Incredible views of a Customizable HUD and the configuration program
that went along with it... at the tail-end of an older thread in the 'Now-Down Orbiter' forum.

I was wondering how much the framerate was hit, if much of the code was finished and if there
were other obstacles involved in creating this selectable HUD display.

Did anyone Else drool over that as much as I did?    :friend:

I'm also wondering when we can get this addon.

      Hyho,

I was busy late with the doc and this forum to code and now
I'm back on duty on the dgII. I will first terminate the calculator
(should be complete in one hours)
Then I must fix various things and clean the code careffuly
to increase performance mainly on the lower panel.
After that I will add some more feature as the seat belt
(don't forget it anymore in the next release)
and have a look about G calculus... (adding the planet's G would
be great but is somewhat complicated)

and after I will continue the HUD stuff. The main boring things
is to convert the data in US measure while keeping the scale unit
I'm not familiar at all with imperial unit so if someone
have a page that explain those unit completely with
the scale from dozen to billion or more.

About next release I canno't give you a date its depend of too many things
but I would say not much than two week (but it may be one week)

About HUD performance the main panel will not have less framerate
than the lower panel displaying, the hud isn't much work than displaying
a normal display.

And after next release I will start to have a look about failure.
(starting failure before completion of almost all the system would
be a bad things)

   Yea, I was wondering the exact same thing myself, but I see Dan putting out new stuff
every few days. So I figure we will be seeing this real soon.

In the meantime I couldn't be more pleased with all the goodies Dan is providing for us.

You got some busy schedule, Dan.

Now that MartinS' forum is down, It's hard to remember all the Imperial Conversions you had
planned.  Do you still have the screen-shots/working HUD images that you had posted on his
site ?  

I'm not sure if you want to post them again and get everyone demanding More of you, but i'm sure
we could help.  I'd say bypass the 'boring' stuff myself... Metric works fine for me.
