It works!!!  

After weeks of slow progress I developed the optimal script to display any data on a screen updated in real time.

Without render to texture, I had to make multiple meshes per number/letter to be displayed. Each mesh has a different material/texture applied to it and all the meshes are hidden by the script except the one matching the current alphanumeric value of the variable. If you just need to display numbers, each digit requires ten meshes, with materials for numbers 0 through 9. If you need to display just letters, each requires 26 meshes, A through Z. If you need it to display numbers and letters, 36 meshes, 0-9, A-Z, and symbols, etc. This method can be used for more advanced display elements, such as a Heading Indicator (horizontal compass), or Attitude Indicator. The complexity is greater because the hide/show logic needs to account for X, Y, Z rotation/translation coordinates, and hide elements as they move "off screen". I already have a working Heading Indicator, but it has a few bugs that needs to be fixed.

I am helping a few people implement this feature into their project. Contact me if you need help setting up a custom solution. In the screenshots below there are 53 meshes in total, 50 used to display five digits (0-9) and 3 for A, S, L, with 13 materials (26 maps). All meshes except the active value are hidden at each update call. I use five digits to display values up to 99,999. Plenty for display ASL for an aircraft.

The code and files attached should provide all the information needed to implement this functionality in the cockpit of any aircraft or the dash of any vehicle. I included comments in the script to explain the algorithm. Let me know if there are any questions.

Best regards,
Uriah George

That is pretty bad-ass. I would just fill that baby up with info.

Partly kida what ive dode for the urals odometer (but turning the number wheels). Its a lot of meshes if ya need some alphabet in there this "single letter texture" way, but the outcome is worth the effort !

 Is that the F-117s HUD ?

[Uriah]

Thanks ZeosPantera!

It is totally worth the effort. Actually getting data to update in real time using this method isn't that much effort once you have the font set of textures made and logic architecture to hide/show elements. Once that is in place just use Sublime text editor to mass copy, paste and edit (Ctrl+D) to make 10 or 20 such variables displayed. The most frustrating part is getting the syntax of all of the IF arguments correct, so the active 'show' statement isn't over ruled by another conflicting statement. Last statement to call the method wins, is the rule. So if you have different MFD modes, you have your mode selection script at the bottom, which hides sets of screens, and shows the active displays elements. I am working on a fully interactive MFD, keyboard controlled, until a 3d interactive UI is implemented.

MAPaUEL level skyrocketting these days, incredibly well done Uriah!

That looks awesome!!!

[Uriah]

Thanks!

BTW, managing to display simple informations on screen seems to be already quite complex but...


You seriously aim to make the full MFD of your last screenshot dynamic Uriah?

[Uriah]

Yes much of it, some already done, eventually all of it with a new OT display system. It really isn't as complex or difficult as it seems. Just need to map all the meshes names and in the script develop a better hide/display architecture.

It is a temporary solution. I fixed the transparency issue for the HUD as well.

Wow! I'm looking forward to see this in action! 
(and folks in the Avsim forum are going to turn crazy when interactive MFD will show up)

[Uriah]

Oh I know! That's the point. 

[PytonPago]

Oh I know! That's the point. 

What are your sources for the MDFs screens ?

[Uriah]

What are your sources for the MDFs screens ?

NASA reference images and video, and a lot of measurements and fine tuning.

I wonder how progress is going om the permanent solution to these issues........
