Currently I use a lightly tweaked version of Milhud 4 .
I am a (forward) laser guy and rarely use missiles/pylon mounted stuff . I don't need sniper sight, telescope or similar.
The things I like most are that it uses the whole screen width and focuses on space compass, scanner and crosshairs .
(last 3 are/feel much bigger then in the standard hud) .
Is there a HUD designed after 2015 that could replace milhud ?

Re: looking for minmalist HUD
I use Xenon HUD as it has a nice transparent uncluttered feel. Clear HUD is also a good one for a minimalist.

Re: looking for minmalist HUD
Which have you seen?
Dangerous HUD has some very nice touches.
Note: Gsagostinho believes in windows rather than viewscreens - you will notice that the 4 views on Dangerous HUD reflect this.

Re: looking for minmalist HUD
Checking wiki pages Xenon HUD looks like it could work, dangeroushud colour schemes look ... weird.
I do remember ClearHUD, and disagree with one of its design choices :
Messages and log windows integrated in the dashboard
Think I'll remove milhud for testing and install hudselector .

Re: looking for minmalist HUD
Agreed - but give it a stab anyways. Lots of interesting tweaks - pulsating scanner, new sounds, differentiated 4 views, et cetera et cetera. It's well worthwhile having a look and just noting the points which interest you!

Re: looking for minimalist HUD
Thanks for the suggestions.
Xenon & dangerous are both good huds, unfortunately I realised my brain doesn't handle anything extra around crosshairs well.
This is probably one of the reasons I chose milhud in the past.
Guess I'll look at milhud refit next.
Added
Milhud refit has several issues, milhud 4000 has minor issues.
I posted in the threads for those oxpx

Re: looking for minimalist HUD
Looked a bit deeper into mildhud refit, milhud 4000, hud.plist and hud selector.
The simplest approach to get what I want seems to be to make milhud 4 compabitle with hud selector and add a few MFDs (doubt I'll need more then 2 or 3) .

Re: looking for minimalist HUD
Depends on your game.
I find many of the HUDs invaluable - but that is partly down to my useless combat skills. And since I play with Smugglers, I find Useful MFDs invaluable for (i) listing my cargo at Main Station values and then the Solar Flux rating for Stranger's World. And then Telescope and the two

Would I do that?
