No idea which hud - but you can easily move the comms to wherever you wish.
I would advise stilts for the quagmires, and camels for the snowy hills
And any survivors, their debts I will certainly pay. There's always a way!

What I'm saying is, normally there are dials and stuff next to the scanner, not comms logs. Have the dials been moved about?

<grins> Yeah, I wondered if that was what you meant after I'd posted... hey-ho!

Yes, all the dials are movable, as are the other items such as scoop indicator etc. The HUD shown looks to have been made for a widescreen monitor - that arrangement wouldn't work on a 4:3 screen.

That HUD is my own. I made it back in February, I guess. As well as putting all ship systems together on the right and having wide permanent comms on the left (nice because of all the chatter that OXPs add; being wide reduces scrolling), various elements change in opacity depending on green/yellow/red alert status (e.g. you don't need most items to be bright and opaque when you're in green condition; speed, altitude, and radar need to be bright during yellow alert; shields need to be bright during red alert).

Yes, it was made for a 16:10 screen aspect with high resolution (my old system had a 22-inch monitor). The laptop I use now has a 16:9 screen but it still looks fine -- just a bit of margin on each side -- even with the lower resolution.

I could upload it, if you want to try it out. I'll write a little readme with credits where they're due.
