Not often Iโm mind blown by what some people come up with to scratch their itch. Swapping panels easily thanks to cable management kits is a great and cheap idea.
Beko PharmI was very busy yesterday night to get that #Macross #VF1 vibe going for my cockpit HUD ๐ค
Even draw a (debug) border where the physical limits of my octagon display frame is in real-life ๐
Still slowly rewriting the code for the UI elements, finding bugs, optimizing, tweaking, getting there ๐

VFD segment displays in HTML/CSS for my SimPit
So I dunno if you know what a #VFD (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vacuum_fluorescent_display) is but Iโm a sucker for these โ at least virtually.
Games like #RebelGalaxyOutlaw perfected the look and this is where I want to go with my #Arwes HUD app for my #EliteDangerous / #X4Foundations home cockpit too.
The segment displays are heavily inspired by #AugmentedUI project (https://augmented-ui.com/) where Iโll borrow some more elements. Learned the neat fake scan lines from there too. And yes the 8 segment display works by shifting bits under the hood ๐ค This isnโt really needed for an app but I have plans to add some real segment displays eventually (I do have a whole box full with these!) so I wanted to know how to implement this anyway.
Video from an earlier stage in the development demos the scan line effect.
The bars are configured with parameters in size, count, percent, colours and thresholds ๐ I also added a random chance of 5% to shift the hue a little bit because just as in real life nothing is perfect.
And yes they are fully themed so switching the colour theme also affects the virtual VFDs.
Iโm also going to replace the older horizontal bars, that look way too boring in comparison.
Itโs still very early but I hope to get some rad animations going too. See https://www.hudsandguis.com/home/2022/retro-digital-dashboards to get an idea in which direction this is going ๐ค
See the dedicated project page https://SimPit.dev for more details on this #Macross #VF1 inspired #cockpit panel.

Mostly because of the bad viewing angle. Iโm not a huge fan of touch but sometimes it is really useful and if I already spend money why not go the extra mile ๐ค

Updated https://simpit.dev/ - home of the #Space #PewPew #SimPit inspired by a #VF1 Valkyrie cockpit (#Macross)
That's a glorified #DIY joystick controller with an LCD ('MFD') and plenty of #RGB for my #Linux PC
Newest additions are my #XR sheniagans (and some notes on #Breezy and the usage of #IMU data as #headtracker), the games #AceCombat and #XWVM (#XWing / #TIEFighter) and a bunch of videos were updated.
Best viewed WITH an ad-blocker and patience (slow af).
