Is there a way to rearrange the positions of the HUD components? I'd like that for non FS-universe mods, it helps to give the feeling it's different from FS

no, however, there are multiple threads on the topic running currently.

Not really, they're dealing with different aspects of the hud, but not really with this one. It was just mentioned briefly in one thread and not really discussed i think.

well, even then, work is being done on the hud, and AFAIK if one thing got implemented it could make this useless.

or i'm a stupid idiot who can't read.

we'd need a table to get the coordinates of the hud stuff for both resolutions and maybe the dimensions of the bitmap.

together with the idea for a cockpit in a layer of the zbuffer, and an allowacne for different gauges on different cockpits could create a virtual cockpit like in MS Flight Sim.

More like a cockpit & virtual HUD, though.  

The FS view is actually based on a really, stupidly close up head position right next to the glass HUD plate in the cockpit - there's a few dev renders of the apollo cockpit in descent network (from FS1) that show that.

The HUD coordinates are hard-coded in at least eight different files.  It'd be rather tricky to gather them all together in a table and make them changeable.
