MFD Shuttle HUD

[Wolf]

One of my favorite ships is the fantastic ShuttleFleet by David413. Through the years this great addon has been improved with more and more "tools" (like the use of some GPC functions,payload attachment points,inverse kinematic RMS, OBSS, new ODS, new textures, etc..)

I was just wondering why nobody has thought about creating a realistic Head Up Display for this great ship...

I think it would be just great :thumbup:

You mean like the one seen during real Shuttle landings?

Do you mean that it shouldn't display orbital data? Or is it the docking mode you want to remove?

The shuttle Fleet HUD displays most of things the real Shuttle HUD does - Are you after the thing that highlights the runway?

First of all my apologies, my request obviously does not fall into the MFD category (as I've erroneously posted)...

What I mean is a HUD like the real Shuttle one with all the datas dispalyed for approach and landing plus the declutter function to change those data during the maneuver.
Basically what we miss now in the actual SF HUD are:

1) RWY overlay
2) Boresight symbol
3) Lateral guidance symbol
4) Vertical guidance symbol and glideslope indicator
5) Radio altitude indicator
6) Pre-flare guidance system
9) Situation line (HUD mode in use:Status, CSS,OGS, etc)
10) Drag-Chute status

These are more or less all the information they have displayed on the real HUD: basically all you need to fly a nice flawless HAC approach and landing :thumbup:

Here's a video of STS-116 landing with some nice HUD view
