[simpits-tech] Home made HUD?

[Justin Messenger]

The HUD in the high end C-17 sim I road on last Spring
didn't focuse correctly either. Rather than being
projected forward with the main view it focused right
on the HUD glass, so you kind of had to look at one or
the other, but I quickly got used to it.
