How to Manipulate the F2 HUD

As you all know F1 takes you inside the cockpit with the HUD. F2 removes the cockpit and displays just the HUD and in 2.5 it also shows left and right MFCD's. I would like to remove the MFCD's but I'm not sure what the file name is for the F2 view and where its located.

The goal here is when I hit F2 ONLY the HUD will be displayed. Nothing else.

Can anyone shed some light on how I might accomplish this.

If the MFDs are exported then they will not be displayed in F2 view.

If you just want to disable them all together you can even just "export" them to a single monitor view, giving them a 1 x 1 viewport size.

Also, and I haven't tested this, but I believe that if you look for the following lines in Mods\aircraft\A-10C\Cockpit\Scripts\MFCD\indicator\MFCD_init.lua

if LockOn_Options.flight.easy_radar then 
  render_target_always = true
  purposes 	 = {render_purpose.GENERAL,render_purpose.HUD_ONLY_VIEW,render_purpose.SCREENSPACE_OUTSIDE_COCKPIT}
else
  render_target_always = false
  purposes 	 = {render_purpose.GENERAL,render_purpose.HUD_ONLY_VIEW}
end

and change it to

if LockOn_Options.flight.easy_radar then 
  render_target_always = true
  purposes 	 = {render_purpose.GENERAL,render_purpose.HUD_ONLY_VIEW,render_purpose.SCREENSPACE_OUTSIDE_COCKPIT}
else
  render_target_always = false
  purposes 	 = {render_purpose.GENERAL}
end

then this should stop them being displayed in HUD only view.

Thank you Andrew. :thumbup:. I will give it a try.
