For my purposes, with only building a desktop panel, I’m okay either way. If I were building a true
full-scale hardware cockpit, I would want all elements of the cockpit removed, as I would obviously have my own hardware in place.
There is a post in another thread where it looks like they managed to completely remove everything. I haven’t tried it yet, as I’ve had very little time to do anything fun in the sim in a long time.
Ideally, though, I wouldn’t have to mess with aircraft files in order to do this. Ideally, there would be a couple of settings.
