Oolite Bulletins

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 ?

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

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.

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 .

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!

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

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) .

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  Target System Plugins.

There is a full listing at  MFD - unless Phkb has added a couple more!

Would I do that?
