  • I play on foreign servers & my ping varies wildly, affecting my game. I'd just like a ping display, similar to the fps/mph ones. If that's not possible could a keybind be set to echo it when desired? Just so I can see how much is brain lag ;)

  • no, this means you're playing on a server that's not yet updated to 2.4.2. :twisted:

  • True, thank you ;)

    I would prefer it if the display would fit in with the others or be echoed via a keybind. It gets quite busy down there with more players.

    Any further ideas?

  • The server list showed the ping to be around 80 before joining...

    Could an echo ping keybind be made? Would it need AOT's config plus?

    It must be possible, I just have no idea how...

    While that hud works, it's not very clear behind the other displays.

    :(

  • That's a consequence of completely free software. The one who created this display may not have himself the fps, time, date and speed displayed...

    On the other side you are free to position those things on another location. All you need is the ability to do that :twisted:

  • That's an ability I don't have :(

    Surely someone knows where the data is taken from & can suggest a keybind to echo it as required though?
