manifest mfd

Post by zem »

hello,
I installed manifest MFD from game menu.
I cannot see contents of cargo or find instructions.
Is there something that needs to be done to have cargo displayed on screen HUD ?

First, make sure you're using a HUD that is MFD compatible-- not all of them can accommodate MFD's, particularly older HUD's. (I had to modify Chupacabra HUD to add an MFD where I wanted one, myself.) Second, once the software is purchased at a shipyard, the ';' key should be the default toggle to activate it and swap between different MFD's if you've got more than one installed.

Well, the ';' and ':' keys, to be exact.
