Horizons Hud colour

shiny57 · Dec 16, 2015

Hi folks,
Sorry if this has been already asked, but can you no longer change HUD colours since Horizons release?

Edit: Belay that, I stupidly forgot Horizons is 64 bit and xml config is in the new folder.

Yes you can still change the HUD colours. Make sure you are altering the correct graphics file. If you have multiple "products" from 32 bit, beta and 64 bit installations you may be altering the wrong file. My config file is in AppData/local/Frontier_Developments/Products/elite-dangerous-64.....that's a new folder that was part of the launch day installation and different to the beta folder.

Yeah, thanks Harrimon, I just realised and edited my post accordingly, cheers.

You're welcome.

I made the same mistake last night, altering the cnfig for the beta and wondering why my HUD was default.

I believe they said it was in the works (or they want to add it) on one of the live streams yesterday.

I use the little program to change hud color called EDD switcher, or something like that which as presets and is easy to use.

It doesn't seem to work anymore. Any ideas?

Thanks!

I don't use it but perhaps the path is now wrong as Frontier changed the naming of folders from "Products/force-fdev-d-1000" to "Products//elite-dangerous-64"?

See my post above for file path?
