Heh - the reason I'm probably the main user of the deprecated old
custom huds is because of those two energy monitoring features.
Because the energy worm, at least, needs that hack to work, I doubt
anyone else ever sees them - lol.
In short, the energy marker and energy worm, when used together,
show if an aircraft can sustain KIAS or mach in a climb and I find
them invaluable while tuning aircraft fdm configs.
When they're available in the new hud I'll be perfectly happy to say
goodbye to the old one:)
