Cockpit HUD Strip Module

Description
Module that installs a long screen inside Cockpit at the top of the view.

It's entirely visible from the default first person view and is transparent (thanks to Digi and his permission to use the script from his TransparentLCD mod).

To use, simply add the to the top/rear/middle of a standard cockpit with the bar at the top. Configure LCD as you would any LCD via the terminal.

Works best with less bloom and less blur are edges of screen, theres a few mods out the that do this.

Known Issues:
SE v1.186
- Display appears outside the cockpit when inside. Seems to be a render bug with this SE version.
- Blur around edge of screen affects LCD. Use 'Screen Junk Be Gone' mod to alleviate.
Can't see other transparent displays or other dithered textures through the screen. This is a limitation of the dithering technique use to make things transparent.

Currently v1.0
Has 3 construction stage models, and 3 LOD models.
Mount point on top as well as the rear so blocks can be placed on top.

Big thanks to:
Shaostoul for all his mod tutorials
Digi for transparent LCD script
Equinox for helping get rid of shadows
Nubeees for help with textures
And anyone else on discord who've helped me while learning how to mod.

Inspired by Cockpit LCD & HUD Modules mod by IshyDaFishy.

WOOHOO !! Looks like I'm your first follower :)

I'm looking forward to where you go with this mod. The cockpit LCDs that Fishy came up with were just BRILLIANT until the update that nuked the whole idea. I've got no experience modding for SE yet, but I do have 20+ years of professional software engineering under my belt - and customisable cockpits are what I'd like to get into. Add me as a friend on Steam if you'd like a co-conspirator.

I like the design for how you attach it to the cockpit. Thumbs up!

@Assile That's why I'm asking. Having to put LCDs for scripts outside the cockpit is annoying in my opinion.

Ok, just waiting to see if the fix the render bug making it appear outside the cockpit.

suggestion why not make a fighter visor like this too

@Assile Yeah that's what inspired me to make this one. I was trying to get a hold of the author of that mod to take over and update it so it works. Unfortunately no luck so I'll continue with this one.

@Sibz @Makaronowyninja There used to be a mod that added multiple displays in the cockpit over the non-functional existing ones. It unfortunately hasn't been updated yet and has all the screens upside down... So something like that would rock :)

@Makaronowyninja Possibly, any requests?

Are you going to make more cockpit HUD & LCDs?
