Maybe a digital rate of clinb indicator option
« on: March 06, 2018, 09:32:25 PM »
  In the top right corner....   without the seat of Your pants feel of a real vehicle some things are difficult to judge, like rate of climb.   Planes that exceed 4000 fpm are difficult to judge climb rate and flipping the clipboard out. When engaged with E/A, That can be tough.  It would be nice to check that and have our heads up  too.   Have a Blast.

You didn't pull that HUD down onto your gunsight so it's in your line of view at all times? One of my squad mates put his above the gunsight glass, mine is below on the barrel of the gunsight mechanism. From experience I have a good idea of my rate of climb by my speed, either in normal climb out or in zoom climb. If Hitech is willing to add rate of climb to that HUD, it would be a good thing.

  I don't use HUD.  I don't think It suits the gameplay well in a WW2 flying game.  Maybe in a Vietnam era one.  But a little bar gauge would be nice  in lieu of gravity and Gforce.

How can I move the vox name indicator and the airpsee HUD info? I've noticed some video's where players have these re-located to a more convienant location like the gun site area or down low...

I've re-sized the text chat window, but cannot seem to move these "windows"... When and how do I make the adjustments?

When you go into the "GUI" section of options, you'll see all the UI elements get a box around them.  You can then click and drag them where you like.
