I made this one a little over a year ago but just never tidied it up for public release. It does a sloppy job estimating how far you've flown based on your ship's speed and displays that number on your HUD.

You know, so stations can tell how much less to pay you when you resell your ship.

Yay math and plugins and VO

Nice. Now I can time and measure trading routes, and charge X*100m/s......or whatever.

Huh, I didn't think about that. I guess you could extend this as a taxi meter or bill by the mile for trade hauls.

Have fun!

1.1 is up. Removed those test.print()'s Sorry about that.

How'd you get that if_hud.lua error to come up? Do you have any other plugins running?
