@minerminor79er Sorry, best you can do regarding moving is with the setting "HUD Spacing". I never actually thought about that idea, and nobody ever suggested that.

Is there a way to move the gauges and text on the hud?

@Grester, much appreciated - we'll probably see if we can't generate a pull request when we're done!

@CPT A. Skyried Hey Skyried, sorry for late reply. If you think the changes could subtle to integrate into VPHUD, I could accept the pull requests, but if you thinking more drastic changes and adaptation, go ahead fork it, you have my permission.

@Grester, I wanted to ask your permission regarding in using your modpack within my unit (171st Combat Brigade) private modpack (the modpack is visible currently just so the server has an easier time finding and updating the modpack), we have a very dedicated aviation wing and your mod happens to fit what we've been looking for the longest time - I know you mentioned that you currently aren't promising new features and you do allow derivatives of your work - we were actually looking to eventually taking advantage of some of the platform features added natively to Arma to look at expanding Instrument Condition flying (including ILS and potential VOR features we could do) and wanted to get your consent before doing such.

@Chrischros the Gauges in Advanced Flight Model should have collective by default, if you need that in the mean time.

Seems relatively simple to add, but I don't have time now. Hopefully next month.

Could u add collective? I wanna understand my helicopter, so it would be nice to know the collective setting

To all the subscribers still using my mod to this day, if any of you see this, let me know how stable the mod is nowadays?
I've pretty much stopped playing Arma and thus haven't been paying attention to how good or broken the mod has become over the last few years of updates.
If there's any critical bug that has made the mod unusable let me know and I'll try fix it for you. I won't promise new features but I'll gladly do bug hunting.
Thank you.

Sorry for late reply HBAO (I didn't get your notification on steam for some reason.)
Suggestion 1 seems simple to implement.
2+3 a bit more niche but sure. I'll consider alongside an option to choose between toggle or pressing.

You can see the changes in "Change notes" below the thumbnail logo.

I can't fly until next Sunday, any idea what's new?

aye yo update after 4 years

Hi, very well made mod.
I just have some little suggestions.
1 could you please add a transparency slider in (CBA) addon setting for gauges?
2 is it possible to add key bindings in (cba) addon settings to hide crosshair/gauges?
3 is it possible to add an option to control, crosshair/gauges wil only appear when you press the keys mention above?

Thanks again Grester this really helps

Hud works for all air vehicles (except UAVs). I think the best you can rely for normal mode is the vertical speed gauge.

Hah I just realized the Standard Flight mode is where it is more necessary, the Hud only works on certain Helis right?

Dude you rock!!!

It's official, version 1.4 is now available!

Update: Found solution for advanced flight model, normal one doesn't seem as possible.

Alright. Tomorow/today 18th February I'll release finally a new version of mod (1.4) but without your idea as it isn't simple to implement. (The game doesn't very easily recognize heli throttle of normal mode.)
However I'm already studying a way to make it available for 1.5.

I do both , but prefer advanced, that is why I was looking for this.

Hey Lawless, do you fly on Advanced Flight Model or Normal?

Alright, I'll see what I can do ;)

Hey thanks Grester, I usually fly Helicopters, nay chance to get it for those? terribly sorry to bother

@Lawless Actually I was scrolling the code and there's already implemented a throttle indicator for Airplanes. If you don't see it, then it will be available this next version released.

@Lawless I could add that but it won't be for this update.

If you could get the Throttle indicator added to it , it would be greatly appreciated

Actually I finally got to work on it a bit, I'll implement it myself alonside some other fixes.

Do a pull request on github

Alright, sounds good Grester!

Am I allowed to upload the modified version on the Workshop? I don't want to upload it if the main one will get updated

Yeah could be done, I'm more fan of being a choosable option. It makes sense from realism pov now that you mention it, back then I did based on AGL as it gives a better sense of safe altitude for flying and landing perception.

Hello,

Currently the altimeter used getPos select 2, which returns an AGL reading, real barometric altimeters use ASL (Well not really, there's some technicality to that)

Is it ok to have a getPosASL version? I'd like to modify 1.4 slightly to include getPosASL and collective position on helicopter

@Snake Plissken Hi snake. That's a good sugestion that I never thought about. When I added VPHUD settings to action menu I already tried to make it the less disturbing possible by giving low priority in the list, and should appear at the bottom nearly always. But if you think it already is too much to scroll in the list I'll try in the future to switch to addon settings.

How to enter mod settings?

i would sell a arm and a leg inorder to remove VHUD from the action menu. perhaps we can add a section to game addons configuration pause menu where within there we can configure a hotkey or shortcut key mapping, inorder to open VHUD's menu so its not in the action menu. thank you for your work and your time in developing this mod and reading my comment, any reply helps tho no worrys if not , thnx, ill check back in every other day or so to see if this comment gets a reply. thanks again ;)

Hi man, honestly man, no need to apologise - more to life than Arma 3, but I appreciate your reply. Vanilla vehicle - the TU-95. Just disappeared in a night flight which resulted in us flying upside down as the cabin has no lit back panels lol. It was funny more than anything!

Sorry for stopping to maintain the mod. Although seems odd it disapear mid flight. Did you change seats? Was it a vanilla or mod vehicle?

Good mod when it works. Disappeared mid flight for no reason. I crashed!

Any news regarding the Throttle indicator?

is there a way to make it work with non vanilla helis?]

It's client side. But server can use mod signatures to whitelist the mod.

is it client side? i.e does the server your joining need to have it?

Just installed this, had it working yesterday but today it not showing, I get the HUD options appear in the scrolling menu and get the adjustments pop up but no dials. I've uninstalled, installed, restarted etc ... any ideas, thanks.

Ugh, I totally missed that button! I'm dum dum. Both version I tested work now. Thanks for working with me and getting sorted. I know video speaks 1000 words when trying to fix/debug a reported issue. Love the mod and thanks for sharing with the community.

Right in the middle of the options window you have a button about "Crosshair only" put it on DISABLED. And then increase scale and decrease spacing. It should appear now. (You pressed every button except for that one :P )
Anyway thanks for the video, you found some other funny bugs like the crosshair outside the helicopter lol

Hey Grester. I used 1.4EA and got the same results. I uploaded a YT video so that you could see what I see, what I've done and my in-game video settings. I hope this helps.

Just to clarify, you still need to activate the mod in the launcher.

kMaN please download this test version I'll soon release. It'll help you test out what exactly is the problem. https://github.com/grester/VPHUD/releases/download/v1.4.0EA/@vphud_1.4EA.zip
Extract the zip at the Arma 3 installation folder. It should be somewhere around C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Arma 3
When you launch arma it should detect as a local mod named "VPHUD 1.4 Early Access"
Test by setting VPHUD options has Force/Unforce DISABLED, Crosshair only DISABLED, Scaling to 100 and Spacing to 0. Get in heli and see if HUD appears.

The HUD doesn't appear at all. The only thing that shows is when Force/Unforce DISABLED the aiming V shows/appears. When Force/Unforce ENABLED it disappears.
