The hud_gauges.tbl is used for modifying the elements of the HUD. Not all gauges can be modified. However, custom gauges may be added to mimic their behavior (such as the wingman status display).
HUD Elements in FS2 are called Gauges, and each gauge has various options to customize appearance and, in some cases, their behavior as well.
This table is one of the Modular Tables and can be extended with xxx-hdg.tbm

- Syntax: Float
- Valid Values: Any positive number
$Speed Unit Multiplier:
Optional. Analogous to $Length Unit Multiplier, this sets the multiplier to be applied to all speeds reported to the player. For example, if the multiplier is 0.5, the the speed reported to the player will (or at least should) be 0.5 x actual speed.

- The value used in $Length Unit Multiplier, or
- 1, if $Length Unit Multiplier is undefined
$Wireframe Targetbox:
Optional. Defines the default draw method for the target viewer (a.k.a. targetbox).

$Lock Wireframe Mode:
Optional. If set, prevents targetbox draw method from being changed during the gaming session.
- Syntax: Boolean
$Scale Gauges:
Optional. If set, all gauges will use this value as the default for scaling individual gauge sizes (i.e. doesn't affect gauges that use Position:, and doesn't affect the values of Offset:. In addition, if "$Load Retail Configuration:" is true then all unspecified retail gauges will use this value.
If not set, defaults to yes.
- Syntax: Boolean

Optional. Defines which aiming reticle to use.
- Syntax: String

#Gauge Config
The following entries define default gauge appearance and behavior. Each gauge has the option of overriding these options.
$Ship:
Deprecated and superceded by $Ships in FSO revision 9208. If defined, the following config data will only be used if the player ship is of the supplied ship class. Can be defined multiple times within a #Gauge config group to allow unique HUD configurations per ship class.
If not defined, all following config data will be applied to all ships.
- Syntax: String, ship class name
$Ships:
Optional. Can be used to define a list of ships the hud definition that follows will be applied to. Can be defined multiple times within a #Gauge config group to allow unique HUD configurations per ship class.
If not defined, all following config data will be applied to all ships.

- Syntax: (Integer width, Integer height)
- Valid Values: All supported resolutions (?)
$Scale Gauges:
Optional. If set, will configure gauges Scaling behaviour for gauges in this #Gauge Config section. i.e. overriding the default, or the value specified at the top of the file. Individual gauges can override this setting.
- Syntax: Boolean
$Required Aspect:
Optional. If set, this configuration will only be loaded for the specified aspect ratios.
Used as a filter when there are multiple $Base: resolutions in the table
- Syntax: String
- Valid Values:
- "Full Screen" (4:3, aspect ratio < 1.5)
- "Wide Screen" (16:9, 16:10, or similar, aspect ratio >= 1.5)
$Min:
Optional. Minimum resolution for this config. Any resolution lower than specified will not use this configuration.
Used as a filter when there are multiple $Base: resolutions in the table
- Syntax: (Integer width, Integer height)
- Valid Values: All supported resolutions (?)
$Max:
Optional. Maximum resolution for this config. Any resolution higher than specified will not use this configuration.
Used as a filter when there are multiple $Base: resolutions in the table
- Syntax: (Integer width, Integer height)
- Valid Values: All supported resolutions (?)
$Gauges:
Following entries define gauge-specific behavior. For the most part, each gauge has its own overrides that, if not defined, would otherwise use the global values.
Since many gauges have the same configuration options, each gauge entry has a list of valid sub-entries. Unless stated otherwise, these options must be defined in the same order as they are shown, starting from the top and ending at the bottom.

Gauge Configuration Options
Since a vast majority of gauges share the same entries, the configuration options for each gauge have been grouped here for formatting consistency.
Position:
Defines the screen coordinates for the upper left corner of this gauge.
- Syntax: Integer horizontal pixel, Integer vertical pixel position
Used by: +Custom:, +Training Messages:, +Support (and many others)
Scale Gauge:
Define if a gauge size will scale or not.
If false then gauge bitmaps will always show at their original size which may result in gauges being very small at high resolutions.
If true then gauge bitmaps will scale in proportion to the current resolution vs the base HUD resolution in use. This may result in gauges becoming blurry at non-base resolutions.
Defaults to yes/true.
