Ship wireframe not in the correct position with the Advanced Widescreen 16:9 HUD

NOTE: This issue has already been fixed since an installer update for version 0.4.1 was released.

This issue is often caused by playing Freelancer: HD Edition with the default settings in any aspect ratio other than 16:9. If you want to completely remove the Advanced Widescreen additions altogether, you can simply disable the "Advanced Widescreen HUD for 16:9 resolutions" in the mod options when installing the mod. You'll still get support for the regular Widescreen patch and other aspect ratios. However, it's pretty simple to get the wireframe to be in the correct position if your misalignment is similar to the one from the screenshot.

How to fix it

1. In your Freelancer: HD Edition installation folder, go to DATA/INTERFACE.
2. Right-click HudShift.ini, click Properties and make sure the attribute Read-only is unchecked.
3. Open HudShift.ini with your favorite text editor and find line 279. It should look like this: position = 4da2fa, 0.1765, 4da30e, -0.3025
4. You can now change the first float value of this line, which is 0.1765.
   • To move the wireframe to the left, decrease this value. Change it to 0.1665 for example.
   • To move the wireframe to the right, increase this value. Change it to 0.1865 for example.
5. Save the file, and look where the wireframe is positioned in-game and keep increasing/decreasing this value until you've got it in the desired position.

Weapon group buttons fix

If the weapon group buttons are in the way, the only option we have for you is to disable them.

1. In your Freelancer: HD Edition installation folder, open the EXE folder.
2. Right-click dacom.ini, click Properties and make sure the attribute Read-only is unchecked.
3. Open dacom.ini with your favorite text editor and find line 37. It should look like this: HudWeaponGroups.dll
4. Now simply put a semicolon in front of this line. It should now look like this: ;HudWeaponGroups.dll
5. Save the file and exit.
