I used to use a number of the f5 "tabs" to assess performance metrics... they're all gone. I especially miss the last one that had the primitives count. Is that still available anywhere? How do I get to it? The other one I used was related to brake releases for each car. A quick glance would tell me which cars were still using old release values. same for braking.

Alt + F5 to bring regular HUD
Alt + Shift + F5 to go through the extended HUD stuff.

Neither of those produce anything for me.


I get something with f5 and can toggle to an abbreviated form and back again with shift+f5. It's not at all what I'm looking for. I need to see this:

First press the <Alt> key and holding it down, press <F5>.
Then press <Alt + Shift> and keeping them pressed press <F5> until you reach the screen you want.

I also could not get the new key assignments for the "old HUD" to work. I poked around try to find the glitch in my system that was preventing it from working, but finally figured I had better things to do. So since I hardly ever run steam I changed it to Alt+H (+Shift) ... Alt+H is the assignment for "AI Fire On".
Works perfectly now...I use the old HUD all the time.

No joy. The initial f5 shows up but nothing else does. I'm using the unstable version I installed yesterday.

Hi Dave,

Yeah - this was a chronic issue for a number of people - including myself - I followed someone else's suggestion to map to another key - then remap to the original. I am not sure if mine is any different from default now. It's the HUD you want to look at. Mine works fine now.

I would not listen to this long lost Paula Cole single.

More seriously, I had this problem as well. I remember pointing it out in the OR v1.4 thread. I ended up reversing the assignments since the old HUD is more useful to me as a developer anyway (now if we could only scroll it...).

Eventually I was able to edit in a working command (Delete + Shift) that produces the right stuff. Kinda weird process to get there tho.
