Implement Kimi's HMD & HAFM Heli Overhaul
Kimi was kind enough to grant permission to use both the enhanced HUDs he created and functions like locking the gunner view to the ground.
- [x] comanche
- [x] ghosthawk
- [x] littlebird
- [x] wildcat
- [x] merlin
- [ ] thunderbolt
- [ ] yak
- [ ] lock gunner view to ground (v0.96) (should probably create a seperate issue for this...)
- [ ] hide ingame crosshair when suitable HUD replacement exists
Totally awesome!
Handling the stuff from HAFM Overhaul might be tricky. We may not be able to use everything there due Bohemia licenses vs GPL; but we could try to find a way of bringing the improvements (like Hellfires) to AGM while maintaining compatibility with the original HAFM if people want to install both mods side by side.
@Legolasindar It's noteworthy that the Wipeout HUD was made exclusively for the Wipeout with the intent to mimic an A-10's. It's better to take the HMDs made for the aircraft rather than put a different one from a completely different aircraft.
My idea is not to pick one or the other. Is to draw on both to make a good HUD for all. Kimi is a great addon that adds to all aircraft HUD, but HUD's A-164 is much more complete, we can combine them and make a complete HUD for all ;)
Wipeout HUD is made by the same person who did HAFM Heli Overhaul and Kimi's HMD by the way, geraldbolso1899 (AKA Kimi).
@11RDP-LoupVert I am aware, I'm part of the same community he is in and we chat on a daily basis. A small update: Kimi's HMD MANW entry has better/more accurate HMDs. By that I mean that they come in feet, knots and nautical miles (at least for the Wipeout). I'm sure either you or me can ask him to merge the Wipeout HUD and the Helo HMDs for AGM, however.
What version of Kimi's HMDs is this? There was an update today:
Fixed UI errors. Removed Huron HMD (For now until I get a proper fix). Revised Weapons. Revised some HMD elements.
Maybe keep the version used written down in the OP of this issue?
Does AGM have permission to use latest version in the first place? Since 15th August it received major updates (v1.3, now it's on v2.4.1), fixing a lot of errors and removing fixes that BI made on their behalf as well... and much more.
Just a reminder: Hide the ingame crosshair for helis that have a suitable HUD replacement. (There's a config value for that, can't remember what it's called right now.)
