Title: Feature suggestion: enable/disable HUD
Post by: Macfie on December 25, 2010, 03:48:08 am: Would it be possible to put in a feature that would allow the new HUD feature to be turned off? It would be nice to be able to turn this feature on and off throgh the launcher like enable 3d radar or enable information next to target. It tends to mess up anything that has a special HUD.
I thought fixing the FSPort HUD would fix all the problems but the Vasudan HUD in the Vasudan Imperium is messed up and it is more than just putting in an updated HUD table. Also I kinda like the old HUD size.

Otherwise, not possible, or if (by some screwed up stretch of the imagination, possible) not going to happen.

Does that mean that if I put a normal FS2 hud table in the mod folder it should work?
