Works with game version: 1.1.338

Probably won't be updating this in the future, source files are available in the downloads section.

Installation:

Download and unzip the main file. Place the unzipped folder containing a mod.json, Paks folder, etc. into the Mods folder of your MW5 installation (discard the Nexus created folder that has numbers at the end of the mod name). You can go in-game to Mods at the main menu and click the Manual-install folder if you're having trouble finding it. Final install path should look like Mechwarrior5\MW5Mercs\Mods\HeadsUpDisplay

Notes:
*3D preview turns off for generators/buildings, they're invisible and won't appear (something to do with them being foliage)
