I try to find back how to change the colors and transparency levels of the tag display and the half scaled speedometer for cfs3.

I lost it in the erased data base and can't remember if I had a copy of it and where it could be.:banghead:
 
We all lost allot of Data about allot of things, my only suggestion is to use ( Z ) and leave it on, if you know where to look in that mass of numbers, is all the information, that the CFS3 Gauges use: Speedo, Alt.. climb%, course, there's a rate of climb somewhere ( never looked for it)
Also a very servicable timer, clock's OK but it's 1943 sometimes :kilroy:
 
PM me your email address and I'll send you a copy of my viewui.xml......it has small guages as well as dimmed transparent colours for the labels.

HTH

you have mail!

forgot to say that no, sorry can't help with the altered speed dial....never got round to changing that one.
 
Somebody here posted a couple week before, a screenshot with altered HUD gauges with WW1 style backgrounds. I think it was one of the Boys but I'm not sure...

Any news about it?
 
Thanks Gandi, transparency and gauge scale solved.

Also I successfully scaled the speedo by changing those line in the viewui.xml file:

original:

<HUDAirspeed BGImage="hud_guages.dds" BGPos="345 343" BGSize="166 166" BGScale=".70" NeedleImage="hud_guages.dds">
- <Needle1 Pos="372 22" Size="104 25" Center="31 12" Offset="90" TableSize="9">
<DataTable Entry0="0.0 0.0" Entry1="50.0 8.0" Entry2="100.0 44.0" Entry3="150.0 89.0" Entry4="200.0 135.0" Entry5="250.0 185.0" Entry6="300.0 233.0" Entry7="400.0 263.5" Entry8="500.0 289.0" Entry9="700.0 344.0" />

Modified:

<HUDAirspeed BGImage="hud_guages.dds" BGPos="345 343" BGSize="166 166" BGScale=".50" NeedleImage="hud_guages.dds">
- <Needle1 Pos="372 22" Size="104 25" Center="31 12" Offset="90" TableSize="9">
<DataTable Entry0="0.0 0.0" Entry1="10.0 8.0" Entry2="20.0 44.0" Entry3="30.0 89.0" Entry4="40.0 135.0" Entry5="50.0 185.0" Entry6="60.0 233.0" Entry7="80.0 263.5" Entry8="100.0 289.0" Entry9="120.0 344.0" />

So now my speedo goes from 0 to 120 & + MPH!

But I still need to change the back ground image because when I'm flying at 100 MPH it show 500 Mph

I can edit the current one by changing the number on it but instead, I think I will look to use one coming from the cockpit view gauges.

I know much of peoples don't use them but my old rig don't give me choice. Virtual cockpit is really beautiful but it's hard on FPS and I use it mostly in campaign. Also I think TrackIR give a good advantage to know your situation but without it, the HUD is my cheap solution.

I think I'm on the right way to made my own WWI custom HUD. I still need to check for all those background image I can use.

Any comments or suggestion would be welcome.

I would upload it here when everything is ready.

But maybe I would not need to do it if they release P3 before, I think they have it well done as I can see in some P3 screenshots.:d
 
My new HUD

I modified my HUD. Now I'm looking to change the background image to those found in virtual cockpit. Anybody can point me to the right files?
