Suggestion for the forthcoming hotfix re : toolbar - Community / General Discussion - Microsoft Flight Simulator Forums

Absolutely Dom, this is a clear and obvious fix needed for a while now.  There is a freeware toolbar removal fix on flightsim.to if anyone wnats to use it, but to be honest we shouldn't have to.

Agreed! You should have posted in the "Wishlist" section though, as that would have enabled votes. Maybe some "likes" will do the trick anyhow....🙏

Just consider this the "hotfix" and implement it, problem solved 🙂

I've stayed away from the original remove toolbar mod since it hasn't been updated since release, and I've seen several people link it to CTD's.  The first reply in Domique's flightsimulator.com post links to a new one released a few weeks ago that may be worth a try, though.

This one works fine for me,  https://flightsim.to/file/9900/no-handle-bar

This is the one I use:  https://forums.flightsimulator.com/t/remove-toolbar-white-arrow/321481/15

Hmm, I would rather have Asobo spend time on other things like tweaking clouds or ATC, or some other stuff that really would make a difference rather then spending time and resources revising how the tool bar works/looks, but that is just me. I have no issues with how it works/looks now. 

 

Give us back the ability to hide the HUD with a keystroke please.

The toolbar needs to stay.  How else am I to remember where the menu is each time I play?

If you're fine with a prominent white line/caret on the screen permanently, that's fine, but that is not how it worked on release.  It used to fade after a few seconds of mouse inactivity, and no longer does.  It clearly bugs more than a few people, as there have been several mods released to address it.  It's not a matter of revising how it works, it's a matter of reverting a revision. i.e. it wasn't broken until they fixed it.  It seems odd that someone would prefer how it is now versus how it worked initially, but if that's your thing... OK.

No one suggested getting rid of the toolbar.  It is merely a matter of making it less obnoxious and obtrusive, like it was on release (see above).  As for remembering where it is... just move the mouse pointer to the top middle of the screen, and there it is.

The ALT key to call menus in P3D and older sims was less obtrusive indeed.

Well, if you don’t mind having a relatively large icon in the middle of the screen when you fly, to each his own as they say. 

I dont ask that they tweak anything btw, just that they bring back the pre-SU5 mode which was not ideal but at least palatable.

Am I missing something here? I'm using the free mod mentioned above and don't see the tool bar unless I purposely hover over it. It still works post SU-5 and post WU6.

Exactly, there are other issues where we don't have such "mod-hotfixes", which were more important to solve.
