The HUD Heads Up Display

[digitalpaul]

It doesn't appear that too many people are interested in the "HUD", and there doesn't seem to be a lot of info on it.

 

The speed, altitude, horizon indicator (solid line) and pitch are obvious but there are some things I do not know.

 

1. The moving circle under the "V". I believe it is the actual path the plane is on and it is used in landing. I use it, but I have no idea how to use it properly.  As with most things (for me) in Xplane I "guess" and fly by trial and error.

 

2. The dotted horizontal line???

 

3. The compass like markings with the triangle???

 

4. Can the colors be changed? and can it (the markings) be made larger?  I have old eyes.

 

Thank you for any responses
