Terrain following radar for night flying
It has been suggested to provide nightvision, which while fine for your space buddy to wear as part of the suit, it has some limitations (going from useful to blinding depending on light, and useless in fog/rain). I'd prefer ships have as part of their overlay HUD the ability to turn on terrain following radar in an augmented reality overlay. What this would look like are bright-ish green contour lines as an additional wireframe drawn across the surfaces of whatever (asteroid, planet, moon). It would help resolve actual terrain contours even during the daytime, but at night, in the fog or storms you would still get the wireframe (as it's drawn by the flight seat and radar) allowing you to see the contours of the terrain ahead of you even though it's completely dark..
I like this feedback
This would be an enhancement to the HUD suggestions in another thread.
