3D Holographic HUD mod most likely left to collect dust
Someone's gonna have to make a new one. I dunno if the original creator ever granted permission to anyone to fix it for the current steam version, but it doesn't seem like it. Hopefully, some awesome modder can build an entirely new 3D HUD mod of their own that works with the current version of the game.

Also, HUD mods are fighting an issue with the editor right now that blocks saving the overall layout asset to mod. PGI is aware of it and working on editor fixes. No ETA that I've seen though.

This gives me a sad. I really wanna see some cooler HUDs... cuz the stock one is just so..... I dunno... bland.

Ya, I've been making some small UI changes and releasing them here - but the save system right now for the editor for some of the larger components does prevent us from packaging bigger changes : /

I appreciate that. I've been using the colourized heat gauge, the more visible torso twist and the blue throttle gauge. Those are great and make the UI significantly less boring to look at. Very good mods. So thank you :D

The only reason I'm on about that 3D HUD mod is because it was so clean.... the map became a radar in the bottom middle that had a "slanted" map, the weapons had spots around the cockpit with a holographic look. Same with the current status of armour and internal damage. It looks fantastic, with the ability to change the colours to give it some style.

I'm no modder. And I certainly can't backseat the process. But the sooner they fix whatever it is that needs fixing, the sooner someone can (hopefully) deliver a much better HUD, which will enhance everyone's experience :)

Orion Hud will come back according to creator, but editor problem + workload for him are apparently the reason of why they are not up yet. Idk about Navid ones, doesnt look like he gonna touch them soon.

Okay, Orion HUD could be our saving grace them :P but yeah Navid's are probably getting shelved. Dunno why they don't just give permission to someone to bring it up to snuff when the editor issues are worked out. Seems silly to just let it fall into obscurity.

Speaking of HUD mods. All I want to do is move the weapons list that is on the right side over to the center, but I have no clue how to do that myself. Would be willing to learn if there is a tutorial I can follow.
