Usage

• Download the latest release here.
• No install required. Just run the executable.
• If you don't trust the bundled executable, you can download and install AutoHotkey yourself and run the script directly.

Features

• Time and date tracking.
  • Time and date displayed correspond to your computer time.
• Carrier ID.
• Wind speed indicator.
• (Nonfunctional) range and time to trap.
• (Nonfunctional) speed of the plane in the groove.

Parameters

Since the script doesn't extract any data from DCS, you have to set up some values yourself. You can do this via the command line:

overlay.exe [wind speed](0-999) [white text](1|0) [carrier ID](0-99)

• [wind speed] is a number indicating the wind speed across the deck, assumed to be aligned with the center line. Example: overlay.exe 51.
• [white text] is a setting to change the text color from black to white. Example: overlay.exe 51 1.
• [carrier ID] is a number indicating the carrier ID, 74 for the Stennis by default. Example: overlay.exe 51 1 33.

Note: You can only omit options at the end. You have to add all previous ones. For example overlay.exe 1 to set just the text color to white will not work.
