This is amazing. :D I downloadeed it so I could have gear indicator in first person but i don't even use it. Fell in love with the helmet and rumble! Thanks Max!

FYI you can enable the gear indicator in first person via Settings>Simulation>Cockpit View section>Show HUD  :)

Hey MaX, I know it's the holidays so not trying to pester, but have you got plans to release a compatible MaXhud for b5? Really missing it :)

It's baking :)

Slowly, as I was up in  the mountains (back now) and as I have one annoying Heisenbug (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heisenbug).

Awesome ;) well good luck, I did see the posts on the pib board about the fonts, looking forward to it :)

Hope you made a more suitable seat/stand indicator :)
I can't (the plugin doesn't know when the rider is sitting/standing) and I wouldn't anyway, now that the indicator is implemented in MXB. Just a matter of fixing the MXB one (shouldn't be hard to find the appropriate .tga files and recolor them).

Yeah, I've made the fonts used by the plugin configurable.
Now that I can use a monospaced font, I can eventually think about having "rolling text" on screen. Low-priority though.

V2.0.5 (2016/12/29) out:

  • Updated for MXB beta5.
  • Allow to change the fonts used by the plugin (2 fixed and 3 variable are provided, more can be added, read the .pdf manual for infos).
  • Use fixed font (monospaced) where it makes sense (e.g. HUDTiming).
  • Better looking HUDMenu.

Thanks MaX, looking forward to trying this later!

HornetMaX

That's normal, albeit admittedly a bit surprising. I will avoid displaying the on/off button, to make this clear.

There's no option to turn it off completely, but I was pondering having an option (under "General) to switch between two configurations: one configuration would be the entire set of parameters of each widget (on/off status, position, all the other options).

This could be useful (for example) to have a setup for 3rd person view and one for 1st person, or one for riding and one for spectating/streaming, or one for joking around and one for racing etc.

it wasnt a big deal for me, just thought that it was possible in b4 :)

btw. what do you need to improve the standings? more updates are needed for this. is it possible to get these informations by the checkpoints?

In beta4 there was no "General" option in the plugin, so it definitely was not possible  :)

They are updated when a rider crosses the finish line. That's decided by MXB.
I could put in place something that updates it in a more timely fashion (i.e. when a rider overtakes another), but it's a bit messy and I'd need to drop the gaps (time between riders).

If you look into misc.pkz you'll find "helpers/riderstand.tga", that's the .tga for the seat/stand indicator.
So basically go into your MXB folder, create a "misc/helpers" folder and put your own riderstand.tga in it.
