What this mod does

Vision HUD is a mod by OwenXu that adds a minimalist, transparent data projector to the Euro Truck Simulator 2 cab, like the head-up display in modern vehicles. The text is white, the cruise control speed is ice blue and the speed limit appears on a red sign.

What it shows

  • Current speed, road speed limit, cruise control speed and gear.
  • Trip and rest timers.
  • Live navigation.
  • Turn signals, low and high beams, and parking brake.
  • Fuel level with a low fuel warning.

Installation

Subscribe and enable it. At a service shop or dealer, open the cabin accessories and choose “Minimal Projection HUD – VISION” on the mounting point in the corner of the windshield.

Compatibility

It includes settings for 23 stock diesel trucks, calibrated separately for left-hand and right-hand drive. It’s tested on 1.61; it hasn’t been tested on other versions, although loading isn’t blocked. The author tested it without the Cabin Accessories DLC and says it doesn’t appear on the electric DAF XF.

Keep in mind

If you change the cab or the interior, install the HUD again. Custom interiors and camera mods can move it, and some dashboard mods hide the speed limit.

The HUD has moved

Install it again after changing the cab or the interior.

Why can't I see the rest time?

It's hidden if you have fatigue turned off.
