Window tags removal?

Postby Jason Terry » Wed Feb 20, 2013 4:09 pm

Does anyone know how to remove the window tags in the top right of the screen? Not the slew/pause/brakes tags... I'm talking specifically the ones that show up when you zoom in and out, or otherwise change views?

They go away eventually, but what I'm trying to do is make them never show up at all, for purposes of making videos.

Shift+Z doesn't control them (that toggles the top left info), theres no on/off enable tag for them listed in the fsx.cfg (though you can change the color of them there ::)) and cameras.cfg was useless as well....unless i missed something.

I'm exhausted. Any ideas?

Best I can tell is you can't remove them. What I did, besides changing color, was to shorten the time displayed. 1 Sec seemed to be the minimum.

ChangeTime=1.0000

At that time [1909] the chief engineer was almost always the chief test pilot as well. That had the fortunate result of eliminating poor engineering early in aviation.

THANKS Dave!

Actually, with ChangeTime=0 they never seem to show up at all..that's exactly what I was looking for.

I'm not sure what settings you had tried, but 0 seems to work fine if you want them to simply vanish. :)

You made my day!

In the FSX cfg. under the [Main] section add this:
HideInfoText=1

Then make sure that these two entries have a 1 after them not a 0 (zero):
HideMenuFullScreen=1
HideMenuNormal=1

These actions will remove all of the red text on screen ;)

Thanks Chuck, guess I missed the HideInfoText=1' tweak. But then I've only had FSX for 6 years.  :)  :D
