My first detailed virtual cockpit!
Features a HUD courtesy of @PlanariaLab's amazing 1-part HUD, modified to suit the application of this particular aircraft. Check it out: https://www.simpleplanes.com/a/mm5VUK/1Parts-HUD_1-2
Main screen shows a variety of instruments, some of which are redundant. When a target is selected, it also shows the following:
- Target distance
- Rate of closure. A positive value means you are getting closer to the target, while a negative value means the target is moving away from you.
- Heading-to-target. A positive value means the target is to your right, while a negative value means it's to your left.
