A head-up display for X-Plane 12

The XPHUD add-on provides a comprehensive head-up display for X-Plane 12 through a FlyWithLua script, compatible with various aircraft without the need for an SDK or custom setups. It features specialized overlays for helicopters, fixed-wing aircraft, and armed planes, displaying critical flight information such as weapon status, flight-path vectors, and movement indicators. The add-on includes automatic detection of aircraft type and offers a force-trim function for enhanced control. Designed to utilize publicly documented X-Plane datarefs, it ensures broad compatibility across different flying environments.

Description

A head-up display for X-Plane 12, drawn as a FlyWithLua script so it runs on any current install with no SDK and no per-aircraft setup. XPHUD detects what you are flying and shows the matching element set: a helicopter hover trainer (the movement-vector arrow), a fixed-wing flight-path HUD built around the velocity vector, and a weapons/combat overlay that appears whenever the aircraft carries stores — gun pipper, master-arm and stores, target designator, AA seeker with lock tone, incoming-missile warning and chaff/flare counters. It also carries a force-trim for spring-centred cyclics. Every value comes from a stock, publicly documented X-Plane dataref. Free for XPConnect members.

  • One script for helicopters, fixed-wing and armed aircraft — sets switch automatically
  • Weapons overlay: gun pipper, stores/master-arm, target box, AA seeker + LOCK, missile warning
