Hey guys, I have this problem where the HUD frequently does not show up. After restarting a few times it tends to show up. Finally, however, it got to the point where the HUD simply doesn't show up at all. This happened in the first mission ever where you get to fly the B-Wing.

And on another note, the HUDs never really showed up properly. It's a fresh install of XWAU from Steam. By HUD I mean the purple GUI. Here's a YouTube video to showcase the issue: https://youtu.be/DAEyNAQizbE (you can also see me desperately pressing CTRL + END in an attempt to restore the HUD but it has no effect other than the center display toggling on and off) - I'm also pressing any possible key found here: http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-RK5RaA4_W5M/U ... 00/ref.PNG (NO EFFECT!)

GTX 1650, Ryzen 7 4xxxH. On a laptop.

Please help! My 4 year old son desperately wants to play the game, and without a HUD we simply cannot. Thanks!

That's what it's supposed to do. If you move your camera down like you did you can see the options.

So the Dynamic Cockpit is working. The arrows show the options on the screen.

You press the " D " key to turn the Hud on and off again when in flight.

You also configure it on / off by Default in the Babu Frik Configurator. Special Effects menu area.
You do not have the required permissions to view the files attached to this post.
