Realistic / Custom HUD

Open AxelPaccalin opened this issue 4 years ago • 11 comments

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 ?

AxelPaccalin avatar Jul 23 '20 17:07 AxelPaccalin

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 ?

AxelPaccalin avatar Jul 23 '20 17:07 AxelPaccalin

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

AxelPaccalin avatar Jul 23 '20 17:07 AxelPaccalin

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). clos_kts

When the closing speed is getting smaller, the digits become more precise: clos_kts_pre

If the target range is displayed in the metric system, the closing speed is too: clos_kts_m

A shot of the position of the closing speed indicator for a target getting away (range increasing): gaway_kts_pre

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 ?

AxelPaccalin avatar Jul 24 '20 12:07 AxelPaccalin

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"
