HUD confirmation

ozzyneil · Jul 3, 2016

Hi, Searched a thousand threads and can't seem to find the answer to this question.

Is it possible to just turn off the planetary, ship and miscellaneous HUD information ?

It's quite an immersion breaker in the Rift as the HUD circle looks like it is around the actual planet or the triangles around an enemy ship

I would like to just keep all my cockpit HUD information as all that info is there, I don't need it twice. It would be cool to just look at planets and ships without a big coloured circle and numbers around it and to also make me have to search a bit more to find what i'm looking for.

I know about CTL + ALT + G but thats going too far.

Cheers!

If you go into the right hand menu panel,
Select functions
Look for orbital lines and turn off

Thanks for reply Karnath but thats not the issue, I have that turned off already. here's a picture to help explain.

Ahh I see what your getting at now, I don't think that's an available option yet to preselect such individual hud options

HUD functionality and customisation is unfortunately pretty limited.

I'd prefer to have more native options.

I'd even like to see target indicators persist in front of your cockpit struts etc... instead of being rendered somehow out in space beyond your canopy.

The lore is that all that stuff is rendered like a heads-up-display on the canopy glass, so you you won't see it on the struts, as they're not part of the canopy.

When the canopy is blown out, all that stuff disappears. Might be a solution to OP's problem, but not for very long... ;-)

This made me laugh and i'm sure that there will be plenty of Commanders out there just willing to relieve him of his canopy.

Well at least they gave us the ability to toggle the four panels on and off. in VR. I use yoice attack to call for them when needed and to toggle the rest of the lights when I am sitting somewhere beautiful and want full dark. We might get a little more panel customization if enough people ask. I would rather they fix mouse control in the galaxy and system maps in VR first.
