Title: Glide Indicator question
Post by: Nightstorm on January 28, 2017, 06:56:59 am

I was wondering if anyone could tell me what controls the word "GLIDE" on the HUD when the mode is toggled.  I was thinking of replacing it with the word "INERTIAL" but even after looking through the tables and PNG's in the VP files I can't locate it.

I realize the word GLIDE is referenced in the strings and the training missions but I can't locate the HUD object.

Thanks :)

Good news: I found where the word "GLIDE" comes from.

Bad news: It's hardcoded into the executable. Sorry. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I thought it might be something like that.  Thank you though.

It could be made moddable, but FSO is currently in a feature freeze, so you wouldn't see that capability until after the release of 3.8, which is scheduled for a few months from now.
