I was pottering around KSC earlier in a DGIV practising approaches and landings and the like. For aesthetic purposes only I closed both the MFDs and switched to the HUD view (not the DGIV's custom panel) for some scenic flying. As altitude and ground speed are show at the top of the HUD, I was still able to fly realistic and planned patterns and approaches, but I also got to thinking how helpful it would be to have some other values right there on the HUD. Mainly I was thinking about having a G readout, or ApA. Values that you can't see with only the HUD up and can't be accurately measured simply by 'look and feel' out the front.
I'm aware that some other addons do have this ability, and I've always found them to be useful. Is there a way in Orbiter currently to modify the HUD to show custom values regardless of vessel, or does the code have to written in to a specific craft?
