Just something I figured out:

I always thought the controls indicator (CI) was VERY useful to me without a FF joystick; so I always fly with it on. But I also think it was a little biggish and covers a little much of that side of my panels. I have run across the .lua file that sets up the parameters for the CI and modified it a bit to make it smaller.

Location: //Ka-50/scripts/cockpit/controlsindicator/controlsindicator_page.lua

If you adjust the * lines like I did, you get a smaller, less obtrusive CI:

local aspect = LockOn_Options.screen.aspect
*local size = 0.08
*local tex_scale = 0.15/size
local line_width = (4.5/512)/tex_scale

Further down you may also fiddle with the colors if you like.

Enjoy modding!

Cheers,

Could you post a screenshot?

Sure Nate, its not very impressive, but the point is that you can adjust those variables to make the CI appear a number of different ways and sizes. For instance, you could completely eliminate parts of it as well. Here is a shot with the parking brake set (B) and route following engaged (A)

That's actually a great tip.

Nice one Skydoc! I've been wondering about this one for a while.

Hmmmm
I wonder, is there any way to put it on a second monitor?

Not that I could see. That .lua file only had to do with the CI itself, not its placement on the screen AFAIK.

But that would be useful.
