Display Settings?

[warthog64 81]

Is there a way to prevent these display/graphics settings to stop appearing in all startups for missions and campaigns? Not sure how.

Go into the Options/Gameplay Simulation difficulty/Customize and change the HUD settings to Normal to only show your and the targeted Enemies Speed,altitude and heading or to hard to show no information at all. There is a Hotkey aswell to change the HUD,I think it's LeftAlt+D.

Look in your Flight folder for an .ini called HUDDATA.ini. Open it, at the very it probably says DisplayDebug=TRUE. Change it to read DisplayDebug=FALSE.

Thanks guys, sorry for the huge pic.

or simply hit Alt/D twice at mission start up

Hum, is this a dumb one? Can I also adjust it (HUDDATA?) to only show the enemies/target (but not the radar in top right and own flight data in lower left corners) on "normal" settings?

[Wrench 9,421]

yes, you can easily remove the radar in the corner. off the top (or bottom!!) of my head i disremember, but there's a post in the 1stGen KB about it.

iirc, it's also in the HUDData.ini

Have a look here http://combatace.com...ayed-on-screen/ and maybe here http://combatace.com...our-huddataini/ for additional changes.

Great - thank you!!!

[stingray77 4]

For the sake of completeness, I had to fully delete the "whitecone"-entry to get rid of it... Just setting it to 0 did not fully do the trick...

 

But I absolutely love the "pure look" with only the cockpit left and the minimal red square showing the enemy! Of course the gameplay is somewhat tougher now...
