Re: Yet another contribution to the collection of HUD´s

A while ago, I read on the CombatMFD wiki page that currently (July 2023) only Vimana HUD uses the additional displays and values ​​that CombatMFD provides for custom dials in HUDs. I thought that's a real shame, because with the help of CombatMFD and the new keys for custom dials in the hud.plist, ...

Re: TCAT 2.0 progress

3 looks the best so far imho.

BUT: just how big is this ship? Or better yet: how tall does the pilot have to be to be seen in the cockpit of a ship of this size? ;-)

Re: Removing Station Dock Control and GalCop's Most Wanted

While I like both of these mods (SDC and Most Wanted), I'm almost 100% confident they are behind some of the stuttering that players experience when there are lots of mods all trying to get their stuff done when a new system is populated. And rather than keep these mods in the general mix, I've mov...

Re: Xeerian wolf meat

In my little story, xeerian wolf meat is mentioned. Have you ever visited Planet Xeer or at least a Xeerian restaurant?

Re: Nothing but trouble, annoyance and losses

We have lots of mission screens that show one passage at a time. And then we have mission variables which store the state...

Been on a short trip to Aronar

Hi guys, I needed a break and went on a short trip to Aronar. Nice area! I stayed in a small town in the middle of the jungle. I took a photo of it for you from a nearby hill. Check it out! https://i.postimg.cc/z3YfF6Wv/18.jpg Pretty, isn't it? The casino was OK too, but I didn't win much. One day I...
