      Download the files:

      https://github.com/psychicEgg/EDHM

      Before starting:

      Remove any custimizations from %LocalAppData%\Frontier Developments\Elite Dangerous\Options\Graphics\
      Download the latest version, as of this review the add-on was at v1.32
      Unzip the files into %UserProfile%\AppData\Local\Frontier_Developments\Products\elite-dangerous-64

       

      Now open your Game and go to the graphics settings

      • DISABLE GUI EFFECTS = OFF

       

      Once the mod is loaded, use the function F keys to change the options.

      • F1 to disable the Mod, revert to the default orange HUD (you can switch back and forth)
      • F2 to cycle through shield colours
      • F3 to cycle through OwnShip hologram colours
      • F4 to cycle through distributor colours
      • F5 to dim the HUD
      • F6 to dim the lighting
      • F7 to cycle through cabin lighting colours
      • F8 to cycle through targeting reticle options

       

      For FPS Drops, Recommended initial quality settings:

      • Shadow Quality OFF
      • Bloom OFF
      • Anti-Aliasing FXAA (off for 4K)
      • Supersampling 1.0
      • Ambient Occlusion LOW
      • FX Quality OFF
      • Material Quality MEDIUM
      • Volumetric Effects HIGH

       

      These settings will maximise your FPS. Shadows, Ambient Occlusion and Supersampling have a huge impact on FPS, so increase them slowly.

       

      Editing the Configuration

      • Edit %UserProfile%\AppData\Local\Frontier_Developments\Products\elite-dangerous-64\d3dx.ini

       

       

      My Settings are:

      ; ** HUD Dimmer **
      w7 = 5
      
      ; ** Lighting Dimmer **
      w2 = 1
      
      ; ** Ambient Cabin Lights **
      ; 2 = Tie Fighter Red
      w4 = 2
      
      ; ** Targeting reticle **
      ; 3 = Purple / Blue / Green (good for combat)
      w5 = 3
      
      ; ** Shield colour **
      ; 5 = Yellow / Red
      w8 = 5
      
      ; ** OwnShip Hologram **
      ; 6 = Grey / White
      w9 = 6
      
      ; ** Distributor **
      ; 2 = Green-Yellow-Red
      w10 = 2
