Show me your KER HUD layout

[SkyKaptn]

More info is good info. This is how I have made my HUDs in KER. I think there are 7 HUDs, reasonably categorized:

[Gaarst]

And I have other atmospheric and manoeuvre displays that are not shown here. Moar info!

[Guest]

All the additional information I need. Node burn time 1/2 shows below the last separator.

Node burn time

Never thought of that one since it is displayed in stock. Installed that asap since stock always shows N/A or something completely wrong.

KER does good math.  It will even tell you when to start your burn, which is more than just 1/2 the burn time before the node.  It takes into account the mass of the spent fuel as well.

Mine looks almost just like @regex but I split the staging off into it's own group on the other side.

EDIT: Well I guess I do have a few more items, I like to see the "Time To AN/DN" at a glance as well and I have Impact Biome which doesn't show here.

Low on screen real estate, so taking most of it. Orbital, dV budget, biome and landing essentials.

You might want to change the font size. There is even a HUD button for that under misc tab. (aswell as settings in KER. I think you must be in VAB/SPH for the latter)

-Stole your suicide burn btw

Screenshot taken a while ago, not specifically for this purpose, so quite a few unrelated stuff but idea is there. Maneuver info entries aren't shown here but it's supposed to be in the panel right of the altimeter.

I'm pretty proud of this layout and every single info is needed for me to fly a ship, and I already have a habit of looking a specific area of my monitor when looking for any information :-(

[Francois424]

I merely use this, very compact mode :
(It also include suicide burn and impact time when landing, but I was in orbit when I took the screenie)

There's less on the left side so that the HUDs don't overlap the science uplink reports.

And there's probably a situational thing or two missing off the right side.

Top-left is orbital details.  Top-right is ship details.  Bottom-left, and always with the nav ball, is surface/touchdown details.

 

I also have a rendezvous HUD (not seen) that's set at the right-mid edge which I use for the rare satellite positioning (angle, relative inclination, period).

 

 

Fun topic.

Left to Right top row: DeltaV info / Orbit / Default Altimeter / Situation info / Vessel targeting & switching. Below the Altimeter I switch between a rendezvous HUD and a landing HUD.

I keep mine pretty slimmed down and close to the default.

My most notable addition is "Situation" under "Biome", to help know when to run science experiments, and I added the "Critical Thermal Percentage" HUD in the middle because my shuttle is thermally limited on ascent and sometimes re-entry too. I sometimes add a few more parameters to the orbital section too. But if I want more detailed info, such as burn time for manoeuvres or radar altitude for landings, I use the KER window.

Interesting that you and I made most of the same choices for the center HUDs (same order and everything). I don't use Mach number because I almost exclusively fly rockets. Also agree that the Situation readout is so useful for science collection

It's even better - it takes necessary staging into account.

Say, you're in LKO with 200m/s remaining in a Twin Boar left over from launch; the rest of the 900m/s burn will need to come out of an LV-N on the transfer stage. Start your burn about a second early, because it doesn't include the time between the Boar switching off, staging and starting the Nuke. But the rest of calculation is correct.

I didn't know about the burn time readout..that's a great tip. Thanks!
