I thought this would have been fixed by now but in my setup when flying a Maverick challenge the white countdown to 'GO' doesn't go away.  How do you get the countdown to clear so it's not plastered in front of HUD when flying?  If this has already been answered, sorry I missed it.  Thanks in advance.

You need to turn "Menu animations" to ON, apparently (not a feature I generally have enabled). How on earth this got past beta testing defeats me.
