I think that might be a graphical glitch with "generate icon". Because I didn't touch that.
Weird. Come to think of it, I think it happened to me in WoD as well, but I didn't think much of it since I just rebound all my arrow keys. to the proper quadrants. It'd be nice to know if anyone else had the problem tho.
Anyways,
I talked with Droid and decided to clean up the HUD a bit for widscreen users. 16:9 only for now. Let me know if you want 16:10 or triple head configs or if there are any problems with this configuration. Also let me know if you prefer larger sized HUD elements (like in this table) or smaller elements that don't fill up the screen as much. It's fairly trivial for me to customize those settings.
Put it in a text file, rename to fsq-hdg.tbm and put it into the 'freespace\Ashenwings\data\tables' folder. Make the folder yourself, since it probably doesn't exist.

Droid said that M12 and M14 are the ones to test to see if HUD gauges work properly, and those were the ones I tried. Weapon names in primaries often go off the screen, but that's just because the names are too long. This behavior is the same as the provided table with the mod vp.
Screenshot attached for new HUD. Hopefully it's not considered spoilers.
