Keith,

 

For the other PMDG aircraft:

Open the aircraft's panel.cfg and find a window labeled "Light Sensor". For example in the 777 this looks like this:

//
// Light Sensor
//
[Window18]
BACKGROUND_COLOR=100,100,100
size_mm=4, 4
position=0
nomenu=1
visible=1
ident=499
zorder=99

gauge00=PMDG_777X!LightSensor, 0,   0,   4,   4

You need to add this line:

   alpha_blend=0.0

after zorder=99 to make the white box disappear.

This white box was just I tiny box at the top left of the VC view and didn't bother anyone. But now with VR it displays as a big box at the center of the screen because of the way the VR implements viewing 2D panels.

Thank you for the response.  Using the search function did not provide those posts.

I used "white square vr" and did not see these topics.

The avsim search is a bit strange... less is more when you use it.
