Any Way to get rid of the Gauges?

Is there any way to eliminate the big gauges in exterior wiev?

Hello @Kaptajnen1583,

Go to the Options screen, then Assistance Options. Set the “External HUD” setting to either “Minimal” or “Off”.

If you have trouble finding this setting, please let me know and I’ll grab a screenshot for you.

Thanks,

That’s it! Thank you very much - looks so much more realistic…

Would love to see an option to be able to toggle this with a keybind in a future sim update. Sometimes I like to see the HUD in external view, as it can be quite useful, but I usually have it off, as it makes for better screenshots

For screenshots you can much better use the drone cam (Ins)

True, and that’s what I do most of the time. However, sometimes it’s nice to catch a spur of the moment screenshot while in chase cam view. Having to go to drone mode is very cumbersome, the moment is gone, the camera needs to be repositioned and I don’t have full control of the aircraft (unless I press C) which means my Xbox controller becomes a flight controller until press C again…I just think a HUD toggle key would be very useful.
