HMDs Mod but it no longer breaks anything

I fixed your mod again!

I mean I basically fixed it by cutting out a tumor, but hey, now you don't have any more broken PBOs for gun pod ripple fire, so this mod can now be used without issue! And it no longer creates a dependency for mission makers!

Adds Helmet Mounted Displays to allow you to have a HUD in a bunch of helicopters that don't normally have a HUD! Very useful for the Little Bird and other things! Client-side mod!

Alters https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=312724602 by removing the broken .pbo files that the mod author openly refuses to fix or remove himself, which renders certain weapons unusable in the original HMDs mod. Sure, you could have just removed the PBOs yourself, but I get tired of finding it randomly re-downloaded because ArmA noticed my mods were missing content. Now many people have asked the mod author to make this simple fix over the years and as you can see by the comments the mod author clearly has other priorities! That's fine. Obviously people have to move on from ArmA and do other things with their lives. We are not entitled to anyone's work. He definitely has better things to do than fix it, like mocking people who ask him to fix it. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

So I did it myself. :) Tell your friends.

I will not attempt to fix the broken ripple fire feature for gun pods even though it would be very easy to do so. I mean, we wanted an HMD mod, not a mod that gives you ripple fire or whatever for the gun pods. Nobody wants those features to begin with. That is because this is a mod that aspires to add head mounted displays to helmets, and it is not advertised as a gun pod mod, so trying to add those features is something that smarter people refer to as being out of scope. Like imagine if a mod that adds a new faction then nerfs all the vanilla weapons to be useless against it instead of just making the modded stuff stronger, or what about a sound mod that changes the rate of fire or accuracy for a certain rifle because the mod author likes the rifle? (Hm, why does that last one sound familiar? I'm sure it's nothing.)

If you liked the ripple fire feature, maybe you should ask the original mod author to fix it and put it in a different mod. I'm sure he'll love the feedback and totally won't make fun of you for asking nicely.

Anyway, these companion mods still work.

You can ignore the Steam workshop dependency on both these extra mods as long as you have this one installed.
