A Head-up display (HUD) could be (de)activated in FlightGear with the h-key. To change the brightness, press Shift + h.

Functions

Aileron

Aileron

Airspeed

Airspeed

Currend speed related to the ambient air in knot/knots (kt/kts) (1 kt = 1.852 km/h).

Altitude

Altitude

Current altitude relating to sea-level in feet (ft) (1 ft = 30 cm).

Autopilot

If autopilot is activ the direction of the next waypoint is displayed as well as the next two and the last waypoint of the Autopilot > Route manager list.
No picture (yet) and not displayed on the appended pictures at all.

Elevation

Current altitude above ground in feet. Related to the location of the radio altimeter therefore it's not zero if the aircraft is on the ground.
