Sure, can you send me the original panel.cfg for the Captain Sim F/A-18D? Also you can tell me your native screen resolution and WideViewAspect setting (if changed)...

Hey, sure!
The original panel file for Captain Sim Xload is attached to this post, and my screen resolution is 1280x1024. I haven't changed the WideViewAspect setting, and I play FSX windowed. :)
Thanks a lot!
PS: I managed to get the HUD itself working in the VC and 2D panel nicely, but all the extra panels (the radio stack and the SHIFT +2 panel with HUD settings such as the CAGE/ILS/HUD Power) wouldn't work.

Hi, I've attached the modified panel with all the necessary entries. I only couldn't put the precise numbers for your screen resolution (1280x1024) for the 2D HUD, because I am not at my FSX computer. I will be able to post the exact numbers in a week when I get back to my other PC.

Neutrino,
While we are on the subject, I've installed the HUD in the original acceleration F/A-18, and it works as advertised. I've done the same thing for the Captain Sim F/A-18D, however, the count down clock doesn't work. In otherwords, when I enter the TACAN and ILS frequencies for the Nimitz, I can navigate to the carrier and do an ILS approach, but when I open the radio panel and toggle the HUD clock to read time to intercept, all I get is: 00:00:00.0 . Can you or one of the other guys see if you get the same result. I would think that the functionality of the HUD clock would be independent of the aircraft. Thanks!
Bill

1280x1024 is a "standard" or "normal" resolution. The ratio of 4:3 or 16:12. Other examples of the same ratio are 800x600 or 1024x768.
It is not wide at 16:10 or 16:9 ratios.
