@Janissary the HUD issues are managed/fixed by the files that end up in the Mods and ShaderFixes folders and are provided by @marcuscicer5 's updated solution about six or seven posts above this one. They rely on 3DMigoto to work, so make sure you have the zip file for 3D Migoto 1.3 present in the game directory. There's a link to it on marcuscicero5's github page for the fix.

If you continue to have issues, I would start by removing any added/modded files in your steamapps/common/Ace Combat 7 directory and then verify the local files from within STEAM's interface. Afterward, I would then download markuscicero5 's updated code and the 3DMigoto 1.3 Zip from above if necessary. Make sure the appropriate Python runtimes are installed to your computer so that you can run the magic.py script; you should then be able to run the magic.py script and just follow the prompts and everything should more or less just work.

Thanks to everyone for posting UW solutions!!

I'm experiencing the same issue as Janissary. The black bars are gone but the hud is offset to the left.
Phoenix- I performed your troubleshooting steps in the prior post but nothing has changed. It seems the script ran successfully including the unpacking of 3Dmigoto. Is there anything I'm missing guys?

Download these two folders to your AC7 game directory.

Thanks Mark. Sadly the HUD is offset left even with the mods and shaderfixes folders included. I started over by deleting all of the modded files, verified and re-downloaded your uploaded link. I've attached a shot of the folder as the script was running. Damn I'm close! Any ideas?

Ok, 3Dmigoto isn't being installed correctly. Please try the following:

1. Hit the Windows key and type "idle" without quotes. Windows search should find something like "IDLE (Python 3.x 64-bit)." Run that.

2. In the Shell, click File, Open, and open up magic.py.

3. In the new window, click Run, Run Module. The script will start running as per normal, follow along with the usual instructions.

4. If the script fails, you should see a bunch of red text. Copy all of it and paste it here.

Hi Mark- I ran thru the suggestions you provided in the prior post and I believe the script failed. The HUD is still offset left. Here's what I got:

Here's the text:

So what are the contents of the 3Dmigoto-1.3.16 folder? Does the zip file actually get extracted properly?

I'm unable to duplicate the problem on my machine, even when using your version of Python and 3Dmigoto. So we'll have to troubleshoot one thing at a time.

Thanks Mark. Below is a look at the contents of the 3Dmigoto folder.
My process has been extracting the 3Dmigoto folder within the Ace Combat game folder. In other words, once the 3Dmigoto file has been downloaded, I'll move this zipped 3Dmigoto folder to the Ace Combat game folder and set the extract destination there. Once extracted, the folder looks just like it does in the pic I posted a few posts up.
I really appreciate your help!

Oh noooooo, I know what happened.

You downloaded the source code for 3Dmigoto, not the release package.

Go to the following link, scroll all the way to the bottom until you see a list of zip files. You're looking for 3Dmigoto-1.3.16.zip. The size should say 5.22 MB. Download that, put it in the AC7 folder, delete the old 3Dmigoto folder, then run the script.
