I saw a discussion somewhere on the board about the OXP categories used in the download manager. Someone was complaining about possible confusion between HUD OXPs - of which one normally has only one - and MFD OXPs, and asking for a separate category.
The list is sorted alphabetically. So if all the MFDs were titled e.g. "MFD - Useful Info" rather than "Useful Info MFD" they would all appear as one group on the list. Simple.

Most games have some sort of paddling-pool-and-water-wings beginning to ease you in: Oolite takes the rather more Darwinian approach of heaving you straight into the ocean, often with a brick or two in your pockets for luck. ~ Disembodied

Re: A plea for sanity with all the MFDs appearing
Some MFD's could still do with renaming in the Expansions Manager.
*Broadcast Comms - Digebiti Variations -> MFD - Broadcast Comms (Digebiti Variations)
*Primeable Equipment MFD -> MFD - Primeable Equipment
*Star System Lane Indicator -> MFD - Star System Lane Indicator I know it's not a "HUD oxp" - but all you ever see is the MFD!
*UsefulMFDs -> MFD - Useful MFD's
I can touch up the wiki if somebody can sort out the Expansions Manager.
