Maybe its just me but after SU7 and after upgrading the CRJ the HUD is completely blank.
Chime in if you have the same or not so we can crosscheck.
Cheers!

It does not turn on. You’re correct.
It’s likely that most third-party huds need to be updated since they were not collimated and now the sim has collimated huds.

Same here.
Quote from Mathijs over on the Aerosoft forum:
“We have reported this to Microsoft and will have to wait for their comments. The SDK did not change so we have no idea what we need to change to make it to work.”

Same. Tried F14, F15, Eurofighter, T-45. All the huds are blank. Tried clearing the community folder and update graphics driver but huds still inop. Deleted and reinstalling the game now.
Sadly, that’s not likely to help. SU7 broke HUDs for everything. DC Designs is already testing fixes to push out for their planes. Hopefully other devs will get a handle on the issue and have fixes ready soon too.
Yah just got done reading through an f14 thread. Hopefully a fix comes soon
Same here, HUD not working
Same issue for me on the CRJ 1000. I’d assume it’s the same on all CRJs.
Good to hear. I found out about this yesterday while I was trying to assign buttons to move the HUD visor via LVAR (hadn’t done this before) and I thought there was some issue on my side. Let’s hope for a quick fix.
My naive question is: JustFlight released a patch for their Pipers only 1-2 days before SU7 was out, so people assumed they had some sort of early access to the update and could test. If that’s true, shouldn’t the same apply for Aerosoft?
This doesn’t sound promising though:
The moment that is documented in the SDK we will work immediately to implement it!
(from MSFS SU7 CRJ HUD is off - General Discussion - AEROSOFT COMMUNITY SERVICES)
Undocumented SDK changes again? Sigh.

There is a pretty limited time to test things and with a simple aircraft that might not be such a problem, with a complex add-on like the CRJ a complete system test takes about 20 hours. Now it could be we missed this, or it was a late moment change, keep in mind it also affects the default aircraft.
As said, we have reported it and have been informed it is being looked at. If you want to be kept fully up to date I suggest our forums as we do not always check here: Aerosoft CRJ - AEROSOFT COMMUNITY SERVICES

Yeah, the whole line. I was checking out scenery in the -700/900 after the update and no HUD in those as well.
Would this be an opportunity to implement the collimated effect, or just get the HUD working again?
Whilst we did have early access to SU7, it was a very limited amount of time and wouldn’t have been sufficient to address numerous complex issues (more likely for an airliner). Fortunately the issues affecting the PA28s and Hawk T1 were relatively minor, although we did have to fix the HUD/gunsight in our Hawk T1 which was broken by SU7 like all other devs.

Here is a small update from the aerosoft forum from one of the developers:
Could it mean, that it will be rolled out in a coming hotfix from Asobo?
Solved without ETA or ETA without solution… not sure what is best…

I am sure we are inbound for a hotfix …
That is one option, but it could also be we can change it on our side, early next week things should be pretty clear. In fact, Hans at this moment working on that. I know Friday evening and he is working and I am pretending to be the project manager. Our lives are sad.
Keep in mind the HDUD is optional in the CRJ, many airlines do not have it.

Well, I personally never use the HUD in the CRJ. PFD and ND are more than enough.
I can imagine that devs are sometimes in rough water, but then also doing great stuff. Hard to imagine that counts for sad😀 I am confident that your team gets thing done. And everyone has a right to sparetime😉
Thank you for bringing this kind of immersion to the sim

I only fly with the HUD, so for me its a massive bummer. Hope its a relatively fast and easy fix and doesnt require waiting for weeks on a marketplace update.
Yup no HUD for me. I don’t use the HUD, just posting to confirm.
