HUD, well I have never used a hud, and would never do so. I have two primary readouts, separate power supplies, etc. Of course we have discussed HUDs before. I do not believe in seconday readouts, and most HUDs are just that. They are also power pigs. I just prefer to see the numbers on my displays.

Hi Dale,

Respectfully suggest that you check the power consumption of something like the rEvodream... batteries last just about forever. Being a former "non-adapter" to a HUD (similar to you), I also respectfully suggest that you dive something like a rEvodream once or twice. You'll never go back to not having one. It's just another way of seeing the same data, with the same resolution.

Agreed that mCCR's are less work. Them's that say they are more work are still in initial adaptation mode. New tools are always harder to use than the ones that they replace, even if the long-term result is lower work. This takes time.

And you see a girls brown body dancing through the turquoise, And her footprints make you follow where the sky loves the sea. And when your fingers find her, she drowns you in her body, Carving deep blue ripples in the tissues of your mind...... Last edited by Dave Sutton : 8th June 2007 at 01:45.
