Nuke will like the first point 
it should in theory make it possible to render the hud to texture, with alpha, so that i can put it on a hud subobject in a cockpit model.
granted im having difficulty with getting render to texture to work right with recent nighties. doesnt help that the build link is awol. thats ok, il just update my source and hit compile (actually i think its faster than downloading nightlies cause my connection sucks).
*edit* seems rtt was fixed recently, if not by this build, so i guess il see about that working hud.*edit again* rtt is really broke
