How to hide the VC gauge when opening the popup window?

[bjratchf 80]

Is there any function planned or possible where- when I pop out the GTN screen into a 2D window for use on an external panel, the GTN in the virtual cockpit can blank (go black)? I'm trying to avoid getting distracted by my cockpit display and force myself to use the hardware bezel where I have the 2D GTN displayed.

HI,

Why not just removing the VC gauge entirely if you exclusively use it in a hardware enclosure?

Thats not a bad idea at all... will the clickspot to pop out the 2D gauge still be available?

Just gave it a try by commenting out the gauge00= line with "//" - worked great! was still able to pop out the gauge to use as a 2D in the realsimgear.
