How do we now set up and use external HUDs (like they were found under Options->Onscreen Display in older versions)? I prefer to use the SMG or SHQM Huds.
Still the same for the default UI. Beta UI will use whatever HUD you had activated in default UI. For now HUD cannot be changed using the beta UI.
Sorry, can you clarify what you mean by 'default UI', you mean the older/original UI? Because I'm using v1117, and don't see any option under Settings to change or set the HUD. Edit: Oh, by 'default UI', you mean non-beta v1117? I was using the public-beta, so I'll have to create another non-beta install.
You can switch between, though I don't know how much data is used for the switch. Default is 'Opt out' which is the latest v1117. That may not be the same as v1117 in the list. When someone installs rF2 they have the latest 'opt out' version. You've selected the beta. So yeah, by default he means not the beta version.
