v2.5
I can only see one Change that would make it better , if possible make the new hud a little narrower ,I may be wrong but it looks wider than the original.
Hi Beduth. The new hud is the same width as the DTG default hud. It probably looks wider because the rounded borders were deliberately overwritten with black rectangular shapes. I made absolutely sure that the new black rectangular shapes did not exceed the dimensions of the DTG default hud. I guess it’s possible to narrow the rectangle on the far left a little where the rounded border used to be. I’ll give it a try and update if it looks ok. Thanks for your comment.
Hi Beduth. I was able to narrow the hud a little on the far left as mentioned and it looks ok. That’s as narrow as it gets, otherwise the information on display will look off-centre. Hud now updated to v1.3 as a result. Thanks for your suggestion.
