How do I dismiss extra instrumentation in MSFS

Featured Replies

I notice that somewhere along the line (Flying a C172) there have been extra data visible on the base screen i.e. large added compass rose, in the top left of the screen and at the bottom of the screen a list of subjects and their reading (fuel, speed etc.). Is there any way to take these superfluous (to me) Items off the screen?

Thanks.

'Base screen'? No sure what you mean by that. But if you mean the external view and/or cockpit view, that's the Heads Up display you are seeing. To hide it, go to: 

Options>Assistance Options>User Experience and toggle the options for "Instrument Heads -Up Display" to Off for Chase Cam and Cockpit Cam as necessary.

When MSFS came out I was flying a C172 around fine. However when I load the C172 now there is an added Compass rose and indicator in the top left of the screen and quite large. There are also a string of numeric indicators such as speed and other items that are already available in the instrument panel. I would like to "Turn off" the rather large compass rose and the list of performance items along the bottom of the screen.

The message right above your latest has the answer.

I went into the options page and looked around and changed a setting (can't remember which one) anyway it worked and I no longer have a compass superimposed on the screen nor do I have the engine/flight parameters on he bottom of the screen. So I succeeded in getting rid of the objectionable visual material displayed when I fly. I am left somewhat perplexed on how these things were switched on I certainly didn't knowingly switch these things on. Somewhat of a conundrum. Thanks for your input.

One of the updates a while back moved those settings to a new location and in the process turned them on for everyone.
