Navigation HUD
This HUD is specialized for navigation. It's my first HUD attempt. I'd share it if I had a place to host it.
I wanted more lines on the pitch tape, but I didn't want them occluding my view of my prey, so I widened the tape.
The lines are at 2 degree increments: close enough to get a pretty good pitch heading.

I'd be happy to host it for you Nigel, I'm currently hosting a mod for another user on this site. I'll send you a U2U.
If anyone else wants anything hosted, please let me or someone else on the boards know so we can all see your creations

Thanks for hosting, Karin!
Thanks for the tip, Eclipse. I'll try that next time.

Good to see, my hud is transforming everyday
Nice job my friend.
What is next? A nice cockpit?
I know you can do it...
Thanks for the link also.

Warsign, I do like your approach to the MFDs (also pictured). The HUD, though, is original (and is all that is packaged in the file). Sorry I didn't
give you credit for the MFDs, which I use all the time (I know: everything in the cockpit goes into the "hud" folder, so it's an academic
distinction).
A screenshot showing the hud without part of the cockpit would have looked a bit weird.
So just to clarify, only the HUD (the gunsight, shadow, and the pitch ladder) is included in the file: Warsign's MFDs (also pictured) are not
included. If you want the MFDs, you'll need to go to Warsign's mod page.
Warsign: I'm also eagerly anticipating your new Evoch cockpits.

Thank you my friend. No problem,actually center hud was made by another player I wrote his name earlier somewhere in my mod page.
Good work really.
Keep going...

Yes, I thought I recognized the center MFD from the vector hud set, which I also use elements from (though none are shown here). I particularly like
the iconic alerts. When a missile is bearing down on you, who has time to read?

Added a little color to your hud tape and the compass tape I have been using so my bad eyes could tell my angles better.

I've been working on an update that has a new pitch tape. I also experimented with lines instead of circles. I'm not sure which I like the most.
Colors too. I expect the update will have a few different options.

Hmm. OK. I have some new huds (a basic design with several color options) but it seems that filefront is currently down for maintenance (at least, the
file hosting part). I will post when this function becomes available again.
The navigation hud variants come in these colors:
amber
blue
blue and amber
"deepspace" (a darkside blend of blue and red)
green
Nav 2 tone (blue gunsight and 2-tone pitch ladder with colors corresponding to positive and negative directions)
silver
Below is a picture of the 2 tone one so you get the idea.

I blew it up to avoid getting the mfds in the picture.
Also, the numbers got more and more distorted the smaller I made them.
I found that there is not a 1:1 correspondence between the image size in development and that in operation. It gets scrunched a bit, so it is a chore
to get everything aligned correctly because you can't see how it's going to turn out until you load it into the game.

Word has it that FileFront is going out of business.

I made some tweaks to the hud, as comments suggested that it was embarrassingly large, and who wants that?
The new hud design has a more slender profile and more clearly marked horizon indicators.
Also, the hud tape transitions from bright blue to deep red as you go further from the ecliptic plane. There's no real purpose to this, other than it
looks cool, and it might help you orient faster.
I could do an amber version as well, as the amber seems to be more visible against blue nebulae and planetary atmospheres.
Anyway, here's a pic. I'll try to get a host for the files if anyone is interested.

nice.
in RL huds are given green for day and yellow for night. be nice to see an adaptation of this in evochron for the transition to planetary atmospheres.
it would also help with viewing the cargo and location information.

I'll ask Karin to host it as soon as I find out what color(s) you want. Maybe I should make a poll?
If it's too complicated, I might not do it.
Amber looks pretty good for overall visibility. Blue just looks nice, I think, and green too.
