Yes, there is a way ti disable the instruments in external view. It’s pretty well-hidden, though. I forget which of the options menus it’s in (one that seems non-obvious IIRC), but if you look hard enough you will find it.
cheers for your reply so quick, in this drone view is there any way of making the mouse do the movement around the aircraft? it works in external mode but not drone view no mouse movement or input to zoom in or out or circle around the aircraft etc
Squirrel is a great resource. He has a video in setting up the controls, which here in MSFS is a bit of a bind ( ), and another on getting the best performance from your rig.
Doofer is another great YouTube resource, especially for the A320.
