Realistic / Custom HUD
Create a config toogle to switch the HUD between two modes:
- Realistic
- --Removes the callsign (task canceled as long as we don't have documentation that goes in that way)
- Custom (maybe add a checkbox for each custom data)
- Callsign
- Closure rate (TODO: Implement HUD display)
@5H1N0B11 You told me that the callsign was not part of the "official" reference used for the HUD, right ?
I could not find any picture or something in military publication that goes in that way.
But you use a picture from DCS as a ref ?
Yes. But not totally. On DCS, it is a mirage 2000C and for example the double chevron for postcombustion were'nt used at the time. But it is used now on mirage 2000-5. Source from actual french squadron facebook who posted picture of HUD
Ok, so there is a good doc for the 2000C but not much for the 2000-5
exact.
A first draft of the closing speed indicator as been written.
Whan a tagret is under radar lock, The closing speed is shown under (if closing) the range or on top of it (if getting away).
When the closing speed is getting smaller, the digits become more precise:
If the target range is displayed in the metric system, the closing speed is too:
A shot of the position of the closing speed indicator for a target getting away (range increasing):
The computing of the closing speed is very imprecise for now (quite "jumpy" values): This is probably due to the fact that the physics loop and the closing-rate derivation loop are not sync.
The toogle is still not implemented.
Since I'm using the new radar version, should I pull-request from the CanvasRadarPrototype or wait for it's merge before creating a new pull-request ?
Indeed. Yes please :+1:
Since the "locked target closing-speed indicator" is is not known as an official functionality of the m2000-5 HUD, I will add an option to toggle it.
My question is, in which menu of the mirage should got his toogle. Should I create a specific menu for the HUD (in which we could add the toogle vor various already implemented & up to come functionalities ) or add it in an already existing menu ?
I was thinking about adding it to "Options"
