This software replaces the standard cockpit display in GTA V with a detailed flight interface. It provides pilots with clear data on flight speed, altitude, and weapon status. The goal remains to increase immersion during flight missions.
To run this tool without issues, your computer requires the following:
- Windows 10 or 11
- FiveM client installed and updated
- GTA V base game files
- 50 MB of available disk space
- Stable internet connection
Follow these steps to add the display to your game:
- Visit the official download page to obtain the file.
- Locate the ZIP folder in your Downloads folder.
- Right-click the folder and select Extract All.
- Open your FiveM application folder.
- Navigate to the resources folder.
- Move the extracted folder into the resources directory.
- Open the server.cfg file in a text editor like Notepad.
- Add the line
ensure fighterjet-hud-script-2026to the end of the file. - Save the file and restart your FiveM server.
This script includes multiple modules designed for flight enthusiasts:
- Flight Instruments: Provides a digital readout of your current altitude, horizontal speed, and vertical velocity.
- Weapon Status: Shows remaining ammunition counts and current weapon selection for missiles and machine guns.
- Warning Cues: Triggers visual alerts if your jet suffers engine damage or encounters dangerous flight angles.
- Custom Colors: Allows users to change the HUD color to green, amber, or blue through the configuration menu.
Users can modify how the HUD appears by editing the config.lua file. Open this file with Notepad to adjust the following:
- Unit Measurements: Switch between imperial and metric settings for speed and altitude.
- Refresh Rate: Set how often the screen updates data. Higher numbers reduce computer strain.
- Visibility: Toggle the entire HUD on or off using a simple key command.
What should I do if the HUD does not appear?
Check that the folder name matches the command in the server.cfg file exactly. Ensure the script sits inside your active resources folder. Restart your server after any change to the files.
Does this work on all aircraft?
This script targets fixed-wing fighter jets. It may not display correct data on helicopters or older propeller planes.
Will this get me banned from servers?
This script functions as an aesthetic enhancement for private FiveM servers. Always check your specific server rules before adding scripts to your list.
If you encounter errors, check the server console for red text. This usually indicates a typo in the config file. Ensure every line ends with the proper punctuation as shown in the default template. If you delete the config file, the game will recreate the default version during the next restart.
