Addon request: New HUD
I created a draft for you to see how it would look targets depending on their IFF.
As for the HUD itself, so far among all games, the Ace Combat I thought it was the best looking one. Simple, intuitive, and does not take seriously the screen. Given the presence of fuel, I would say that to Ace Combat 2 HUD should be perfect for YS Flight, obviously without having to move the location of the radar. I will set an example below.
No need that this new HUD replace one of the default ones, would be nice if we could choose as an alternative.
Hope to have respected all the aspect of addons request, and that my request will be accepted by someone.
These are the view of targets.
IFF 2 - Enemy Example.
The style of HUD of Ace Combat. I like it, and it looks like one of those default

That being said, this looks really really awesome and you did put a fair amount of effort researching this (awesome charts btw). Maybe try emailing Soji this? Or adding this the the YSFlight wishlist thread which I believe is sent to Soji as well. Best of luck!
Umh, I see. Maybe I am a little ashamed, but I wanna try. Could you tell me what is his email? I will send him a message with the attachments and images.

A HUD upgrade like this would definitely be something I could get behind. It would add a nice fresh look to YSFlight.

I initially worked on other types of HUD. I did not like, so I tried to search among existing games. Those of Ace Combat I found them perfect, in particular those of 3 and 2. However, the 'HUD ace combat 3 is too futuristic, would be inappropriate. So, I chose to Ace Combat 2SharpShooterSquadron wrote:That looks pretty good, I think we should go with the hud underneath AC2.

If it were up to me I personally would go with the AC5 hud it looks good, but AC2 no problem hopefully someone will work on it

If I were a developer of video games, to tell the truth I would appreciate direct contact with fans, without them having to deserve it. If anyone have an idea, a proposal to improve some aspects of the game, should talk and collaborate with developers. In this way the games improve satisfying the majority of fans. Of course, one should not abuse a thing of this kind, however, given the high moddability of YS, it should not cost anything to collaborate with modders.
Anyway no, it is not necessary to change the HUD.

But where do you draw the line? You can always email him on his PEB0 email address as per the YSFlight Website.Gryphus 1 wrote:If I were a developer of video games, to tell the truth I would appreciate direct contact with fans, without them having to deserve it.
I have the privilege of being able to contact him on his work email address and I try not to abuse that privilege - Generally only if I am desperate for some help.

In fact, this is only an esthetic change. The only tactical advantage is the colour that distinguish the IFF

I utilized the PEB0 email address found in the YSFlight Website.
I would not dare to use a personal email.
