Thanks spara, I think it looks fine and I'm for more info if I can get. Works great.

Ya like Riedquat 5......&%
I think that would look ok, with TL # one space after system.name.

Ok guys. I want TL prefix to be there so that it's instantly clear what the number is about. And the brackets are there for the same reason, TL is not part of the system name. The problem has been the second line and the solution was quite a simple one
. I replaced the text "Hyperspace System" with "Target System" and everything fits. Now it's a little different from the F5 wording, but the meaning should be clear.
Here's Navigation MFD 1.1. And I'm quite happy with it. Thanks guys for bringing this up.

Well done.. I'll check it out tomorrow.. just spent 3 hours hunting a RH mark that's nowhere to be found, it's now 3am, so I'm abandoning it and will restart from the last save again in the morning..

Did you consider adding the distance to the target system?

Imho there is enough space in the 3. line without the "Estimated" word:
Travel Time: 46:14:24 Distance: 6.8ly

. Never satisfied, eh? Made a few tests and somehow this one looks the best:
Looks balanced and nicely grouped. Any more ideas/suggestions coming this way before I'll update it
?

<grins> I keep looking at the Hyperdrive Status line... does it need all that info?
Something like Ready or Blocked might serve (another word for blocked, perhaps).

Less is more when dealing with mfds, but this time I would not touch the message. Info about the blocker might be handy for someone.

Is it now working fine with Tracker and Planetary Compass and the like?
If you need anything tweaked in those OXZ's to help compatibility, let me know.

Agreed.. I
like that it tells me what's blocking the jump.

Seconded.. I'm very impressed with how much useful info you've packed into that small space.

Spara, this looks really spiffy, how'd you get the icons?

That's settled then. Version 1.2 is now uploaded. Thanks again for all the ideas and feedback.
* MFD now includes the distance to the hyperspace destination
* a minor bugfix when hyperspace destination is picked from the long range chart
* a minor bugfix when hyperspace destination is picked and no hyperdrive is present

Here's how to get them into two handy arrays:
Code: Select all
this.$govs = new Array();
for (var i = 0; i < 8 ;i++)
this.$govs.push(String.fromCharCode(i));
this.$ecos = new Array();
for (i = 0; i < 8 ;i++)
this.$ecos.push(String.fromCharCode(23 - i));

This works sweet - my hud already displays the target system, but not the distance/time. It's also handy to know the names of rock hermits.
It's easy enough to reposition MFDs - is it possible to resize the display box and reduce the font size, or is all that fixed?
