A post was merged into an existing topic: [1.6.21.0 Regression] “SHIFT + C to Exit Aircraft” Remove UI

I can’t even remove the overlayed instrument (despite having Settings→General→Flight Interface->Hud in cockpit View set to OFF

EDIT after relaunching MSFS, HUD Instruments are correctly OFF. But I still have the “SHIFT+C Exit Aircraft” window ;(
EDIT #2 : Hud instruments re-appeared after external view. And cannot be removed.

Yeah, that’s annoying.

So is this. What the heck is going on here?!?

Toggling it on and back off doesn’t get rid of it, either. sigh

EDIT: I tried quitting the flight and restarting which gets rid of it, but if I hit ESC and then go back into the flight deck, it happens again. Heck of a regression there, folks. :\

This is just a single line at the bottom of the screen. How the heck did they miss THIS?

I can only presume their internal testing is people who aren’t very familiar with the sim and need a reminder, and also play by flying arcade-style with the HUD turned on all the time.

The HUD Display (in cockpit) has reappeared when airborne, getting into the menu, then getting back in cockpit. And no way to remove it.
Will continue testing and may open a new post.

apart from this issue the hud in cockpit view is now also bugged and forced turned on as soon as you pause your sim with the escape button

To add a clarification/data point to this …

If I set “HUD in External View” to Off, I do not get the spurious HUD in the cockpit view. Of course, that means no HUD at all in External view for those who prefer that, but for me, this workaround will do until this bug gets fixed.

Same here, 2 issues:

  1. “external HUD” info is displayed inside the cockpit view (bug) and in external view

  2. or: external HUD is not displayed at all (neither external nor co´ckpit view)

example of 1) in Hornet:

Yeah I’m not sure I need the external HUD in the cockpit….

Same problem on Xbox Series X in the default 737. Paused to change a setting, was greeted with this when I resumed.

Additionally, with the latest .21 update, I have the issue that the external view indicator displays are also showing up inside the cockpit.

I think MS shoudl add this to take whole screen that will be something that will stop many people to play this game so problem will be resolved immediately:p

HUD is also visible in Drone Mode for me :face_with_spiral_eyes:

If you didn’t see my workaround posted above:

  • Go to Settings → General → Flight Interface
  • Scroll down to find HUD in External View
  • Set to Off

This will prevent the spurious HUD displays in other camera views.

Thanks for advising, I have added this information in my 1st post.

Inibuilds A340 Xbox series X paused at TOD - on “Resume” External HUD displayed

Not a helpful Workaround for me. As I use the HUD for the 3rd Person View. But i dont need or want it in Drone Camera.
