Display GPS, a dialog, or other information on top of turret optics?

Recommended Posts

I would like to add some "clutter" to tank turret optics to simulate the information overload possible in a futuristic type vehicle.  Something ideal would be fluctuating "dummy" bar graphs for things like reactor power and temperature and so on.

 

I noticed that the GPS cannot normally be brought up when viewing through tank optics.  Is there a way to bypass this limitation?

 

Dialogs, to me, look very difficult.  Is there an example of a simple, non-interactive dialog that I could get working without failing miserably?

 

The best way of all would be to add information directly to the optics themselves.  How much trouble would it be to edit the default optics for tanks?

 

Another option would be if we were able to place hint boxes in a specified location on the screen, color the text, and do simple animations like a marquee.  A marquee animation with carefully chosen keyboard symbols would look really futuristic.  I guess there is no way to do any of that?

 

edit:  Dialogs were the way here.  Not too easy.
