HUD wishes
« on: August 18, 2017, 09:34:54 PM »
1. I would like the ability to remove the compass, alt, and g meter but leave only speed.

2. I would like TAS added, and the ability to remove IAS.

I despise hud info on the screen in a ww2 game and my need to use it in ah3. I only use it because in ah3, I can't see most of the gauges in most planes anymore without zooming in. I didn't need it in ah2.

One of the things I always liked about this game, in ah2 anyways, was the need to use the gauges rather than HUDs.

Amen to that. I agree to the AH2/AH3 comparison you just made. Found it more difficult with my slightly degraded vision, but I am now used to it.

I refuse to use that HUD.  :rolleyes: I am thankful that it can be shut off.

I'm pretty certain the last update allows you to remove that stuff.

AH does not require any performance flight planning, I'm failing to see where TAS would be helpful over IAS?  Both will be equal where 90% of the fighting takes place, and TAS would be a horrible primary reference in a fight at altitude.

While we are on the subject I'd really like to see ammo counter and e6b info as an option in the hud.

The HUD info box can be removed, not customized.

I understand the difference between TAS, IAS, and ground speed. I like TAS in the game. In a fight, I don't use any gauge or hud speed indicator, just plane 'feel' if you could call it that.
