Yes, David and Norman "collaborated" on some panel/hud aspect changes

On that same subject, someone should take a quick pass through the
placement of all the instrument backgrounds and needles.  There is a
ton of off by one or two or three errors in there that perhaps are low

It would be nice to be able to turn the frame rate on or off at any
time and not necessarily have it tied to the HUD or a particular HUD
mode or lack there of.
