Alongside our planned Jets DLC platform upgrades, we needed moar UI. But quite a big part of the ingame screen is already taken by various elements and gadgets. We realize that, despite our goal to be more 'minimalistic' with UI, we have quite a lot going on in there. We've decided to put some elements into 'generic containers'.
Together with Weapon and Vehicle Info, we now have a system called 'Custom Info'. It's 'Custom' because it allows you to pick which ones you want to have displayed in game. Custom also because creates a framework for modders to use - more about that later on wiki.
Before we go any further, I recommend you to reset your keybinds to A3 or Apex preset (and dump all the hours you've spent customizing them) - otherwise you'll see a lot of missing strings and unnecessary action menu entries.
As a player, what you get is a system of two windows - left and right. You have actions to toggle modules inside these windows.
By default:
[ - next module (GPS, feed, sensor display....) on left display
RCTRL + [ - toggle sub-mode (range, feed spectrum...) on left display
] - next module on right display
RCTRL + ] - toggle sub-mode on right display
(no default keybind) - previous module on left display
(no default keybind) - previous module on right display
(no default keybind) - close left display
(no default keybind) - close right display
You can find following modules:
Navigation (if your have a GPS item or GPS is configured as integral part of your vehicle) - the navigation is now rotating. The tech is being improved, so you can expect some hickups.
Slingload assistant (if your vehicle can slingload)
UAV camera feed (if you have an UAV terminal)
Crew list (If you are inside a vehicle)
In addition - in all military aircraft - you will have a Sensor display. More about that in the Sensor Overhaul feedback thread
In all tanks, APCs, MRAPs and similar 'advanced' vehicles, you will have camera feeds from other crew's positions.
In attack aircraft (gunships, fighters, CAS), you will also have feeds from TGP (driver), gunner and also from a launched missile wherever applicable.
The old actions for GPS, Drone feed and Slingload assistant still work and will directly switch the default window to the respective module.
Enjoy, and let us know what you think!
