VPHUD (Virtual Pilot Head-Up Display)
VPHUD stands for Virtual Pilot Head-Up Display
Have you ever felt the need to look at the aircraft fixed gauges, because it had no HUD?
Have you ever crashed your aircraft because you were distracted looking at such gauges?
Have you ever wished the Advanced Flight Model GUI existed in the Standard Flight Model?
If that’s your case then I’m glad to tell you that VPHUD seeks to solve all those problems and wishes you ever had before.
VPHUD is a seamless addon that adds two virtual gauges to all aircraft that do not have native HUD support.
An Artificial Horizon to help you understand when your airplane is upside down, or if you’re landing your helicopter perfectly leveled.
A Vertical Speed Indicator to give you crucial information if the landing you’re attempting to make it too harsh for your aircraft to handle.
Some other misc information is also available such as altitude, throttle, and speed.
As mentioned before, the addon works seamlessly without the need for any configuration.
All you have to do is get in a aircraft as pilot, and the VPHUD will pop up immediatly.
At the left will show up the Vertical Speed Indicator and at the right the Artificial Horizon.
But that’s not all, you can change VPHUD’s settings bin addons options.
● Change VPHUD scale and positioning.
● Change the System of Units between Imperial System and Metric System.
● Change the way altitude is measured between Sea Level and Ground Level.
● Enable a virtual crosshair and change its color and shape. You can even use the crosshair only if you don’t care about the gauges.
● Enable a throttle indicator for airplanes or collective indicator for helicopters in the advanced flight model.
You can change crosshair to whatever shape you want, however I find V shape the most versatile.
When NOT zoomed in you can aim with the V’s top (default view), when zooming in you aim with the bottom end of the V (right click zoom).
● Altitude bar sometimes getting behind the Vertical Speed Indicator is expected behavior.
● Pitch is not perfectly accurate.
Aside from that, none that I’m aware. Let me know if you find any.
● Gauges size scaling algorithm needs improvement.
● Virtual Flight Path Vector.
● Some way to reset settings as a last resort.
● Another VPHUD styling that replicates real aircraft HUDs. Meanwhile this may interest you.
