Great change for the Acceleration F-18 HUD texture! I've yet to fly an airplane that you have a tough time seeing through the windscreen/cockpit glass. Also, it kind of defeats the purpose of a HUD when you can barely see through the darned thing. Don't want to sound like I'm whining, but it seems there are too many developers that think in order to make a VC more realistic, you have to include excessive reflections and add opacity to the glass. The only time I notice any internal reflections is when flying at night (due to cockpit lighting). Other than that, while there might be some subtle reflections, for the most part they're hardly noticiable. For the record, Piglet's glass textures are typically the best. He adds just a little bit of "dirtyness" to them so you can tell you're looking through glass, without adding too much distraction.
I recommend the transparent HUD texture by Enrico.
