This skip HUD lets you use pretty much every chat command without the hassle of having to remember them or type them out. There are *very* few exceptions. It also has a set of features that are now standard throughout the family of skip HUDs for Bandit/The Mesh Shop sailing boats.

I've always made my HUDs to be flexible, to allow the provision for people to modify my HUDs to get their perfect skip HUD, if that's what they want to do. This V2 HUD makes that a lot easier.

There is now one script to power all the HUDs, changing from a variety of similar scripts that had minor variances or features introduced on later HUDs and not present on older HUDs.

They also use one texture for all the buttons, and I'm hoping that the texture will continue to be relevant for any new Bandit/TMS releases *crosses fingers and hopes*.

The benefit of all this work is that I can make pre-built HUDs with less fuss for those that choose to buy them for each boat, and people that wish to re-purpose a HUD for more than 1 boat can do so if they're able and confident in their modding skills :)

Each HUD now has two sides, with each side having a minimize and maximize button to hide/show the HUD.

The front side contains the buttons you'll use commonly or those that represent major functions on the boat.

The reverse side contains the buttons less commonly used and also one of the major new pieces of work in bringing these V2 HUDs in to existence, i.e. the wind setter.

I've tried to make the wind setter very flexible, so that it can give you exactly the sort of interface you find most useful.

The wind setter is used to set both wind direction and wind speed. The large centre dial sets the direction, while the arc on the right of the wind setter sets the boat speed.

The wind setter will operate in one of two modes. The most commonly used mode is BWind, applicable to very many Bandit/TMS boats. The least commonly used mode is Boss, and at the time of writing is only used by the Bandit IF and Madpea (though I'm guessing that it will feature in new boats eventually).

That means that it will work for pretty much every sailing boat Bandit/TMS make. As long as the boat actually listens to objects, that is. That includes the Laser, Nacra, B55, B60, IF, Pacha, Cafe del Mar, OD65 and I'll stop boring you there...

For those confident in their modding skills, I have included with each of the available HUDs a large set of buttons for you to modify and repurpose each HUD for other Bandit/TMS boats that you may own. You can either buy ready built HUDs from me, or you can build your own one-HUD-to-rule-them-all HUD, if that's what you wish. This has always been possible, but with the common script and common textures across the family of HUDs it's now much simpler for you to do.

Should delivery fail, either IM me or use any Caspervend redelivery terminal (my marketplace store is linked to my Caspervend dropboxes, makes life easier :)

Usually i dont like using huds when sailing but i know Kaliska makes awesome things so i decided to try and i really like it and it makes it look much better than to type commands in local chat.

Don't even think twice. Just buy it. This is a huge help for your Bandit 25 and you won't regret buying it. All commands will be at your fingertips and you won't need to use the local chat for anything. It's terrific!

My world would be complete if Rubber Bunny would make a Loonetta hud too!
