What is the conflict with Lone Wolf Shield Cycler? Does it destroy the universe or is it more like "I don't know what to do with that, I'll just ignore it"?

Not sure, but probably more of the latter than the former. Probably.

Looking at it in a bit more detail, Vimana (and, by extension, Vimana-X) are dialed into Shield Cycler Next v2.1 - all it's interactions with shield cyclers requires the "Next" version, and the previous iteration (ie the non-"Next" version) has been ignored. If I get time, I'll have a look at what the integration issues are and see if they're resolvable.

If you have previously used the Vimana HUD, and purchased the Target, Travel and Ship modules for it, you will have those modules added automatically when you install this HUD.

Unfortunately this does not seem to be the case, at least for me. Had to re-buy.

They told me they fixed it! It’s not my fault!

Random StarWars quotes aside… aw, dang. I’ll have another go at this later today, but, with the expansion manager issues at present, you’ll probably need to manually install the update when it comes.

I am fascinated about our wording. No wonder I am confused, and I am chauvinist enough to assume this also applies to others.
Probably in the past there were words missing for it, so we need to define them...

Not sure what was unclear. We can't update OXP's in the Expansion Manager at the moment. If I make an update for Vimana-X, the only way to get it would be to download it manually. That was certainly all I intended to convey.

No offense. But I believe using a bit more distinguished words will allow us to pinpoint problems better. I will try to define the missing terms.

Found the issue, I think, after watching your latest video. It looks like you uninstalled Vimana before installing Vimana-X. If you’d kept both of them the system would have worked, I think. I’ll have to check to see if I can test for an equipment item from a mod that’s been removed. At least it explains what happened. Sorry you had to buy them all again. Feel free to give yourself the credits, as a gift from me!

Version 1.6 has been released. Mostly just small tweaks and bug fixes.

• Fixed issue with target speed values showing as "undefined".
• More improvements to the MFD background clearing process.
• Fixed spelling error for Vampire Mk6 image.
• Fixed spelling error for Boomslang MkIII image.
• Fixed spelling error for Raptor Defense Interceptor image.
• Corrected station identification for Solo's Alt Stations.
• Fixed JS error when targeting a system that cannot be reached.
• Small tweak to the character width of the speed value, so it doesn't overflow the UI when speed is high and using wide fonts.

Superb! Thank you!!

For your next version (whenever it comes) might there be a chance of including a small tweak to the IronHide armour readout which I currently get to 613 decimal places!

Sure! I should be able to pull it back to 612 decimal places for you!

At the moment, I’m trying to get the warning messages to display a little longer before flashing, so they’re a little easier to read.

When I saw the recent Vimana X HUD I was shocked to see all my ship systems in orange, thinking they were damaged. But then I noticed the cockpit color must have changed. And indeed it is nicer to read.
