AMS2 HUD

Nuno Pinheiro · May 23, 2020

Am i the only one who thinks the AMS2 HUD way too "skinny"?

UMC 22 · May 23, 2020

Perhaps if you explain what you mean by "skinny", I might be able to offer an opinion.

I suppose he means small, narrow. What I miss though, is the pedas and FFB meters - haven't seen it yet in any of the video clips you guys have posted so far...

They're in. People just don't make videos with that particular HUD active.

passenger · May 23, 2020

Oh well, maybe they don't use/like it... I for one can't live without these meters in any Sim now - their info is essential for me.

@Goffik I don't feel like driving with all that stuff on my screen, how the hell am i suppose to see the track and other cars?
The pedal and ffb meters would be nice to have

No pedal or ffb meter, that's what i mean by "skinny"

I don't think any of us want to drive in this view, i know i don't

Assuming you still have the default controls set, press d-pad left to enable the telemetry HUD, then press d-pad DOWN to cycle the widgets. You can drive with just the input and FFB meters visible.

@Goffik Thank you

UMC 22 · May 23, 2020

For whatever reason, this layout cycle control is not listed in the bindings. Also, if you bind something else to d-pad down, you can never again cycle the widgets unless you reset your controller profile. You can't access it at all if you happen to be using a custom controller profile rather than one of the defaults.

Hopefully they'll give us access to all bindings soon, because I don't actually want ICC and HUD controls on my hat switch at all...

Nuno Pinheiro · May 24, 2020

The virtual mirror is gone when using the pedal/ffb meters, i hope they fix that also, or am i missing something?

UMC 22 · May 24, 2020

It's just not part of the telemetry HUD, presumably because they don't expect you to be racing while tweaking FFB etc. But we don't have the ability to tweak the telemetry HUD with the editor yet. Once we do you'll probably be able to enable it.

passenger · May 24, 2020

They should allow editing of the HUD so the basic tachometer/speedometer could be expanded
with the pedals input and FFB meters graphic, and any other combos the user wants to add or
remove.

UMC 22 · May 24, 2020

They probably will, but most user interface parts are not even close to finished yet. You can look into the files to see all the widgets that we should have but currently don't. That includes an expanded motec, among other things. They also haven't even fixed the HUD editor for VR users despite the issue existing since the editor was enabled, so this clearly hasn't reached the top of their to-do list yet.

passenger · May 24, 2020

Yeah, hopefully they will. If they could add in the future some kind of app system like AC has, with so many HUD options and features, it would be awsome and people would love it.

I don't have a D pad.

Oh dear.

Pretty sure there's no way of remapping it even outside the game, as the controller config file isn't readable. They need to sort this!

Is there a possibility to add a "minimap" to the HUB? For tracknewbie like me it would be very helpful (I know that IRL doesn't have minimap.. so it makes sense it's missing)

A minimap should already be part of the "Full" HUD. Try cycling through them all to make sure you're using the right one. If you still don't see one, go to the HUD editor in the pause menu, and click on the trackmap (top-right corner by default). You should get an option to switch it on.

If none of that works, it'll be because the track you're on doesn't have a track map yet. I know Imola and a few others were missing a few patches ago, don't know if they've finished adding them all yet.

Thanks, I'll look into it!
