Do you have the same issue if you follow the OP’s steps to reproduce it?
Provide extra information to complete the original description of the issue:
If relevant, provide additional screenshots/video:
Its possible that the number countdowns are being generated through being menu items ( which would generally overlay the screen on top ), but that they are assuming that menus would be able to be animated, but with the setting off, its causing the error.

Hello @imaner767612,
This is a known issue that will be resolved in a future update. In the meantime, you can resolve this on your own by ensuring “Menu Animations” are turned on in your settings.
Thanks,

THIS ISNT A BUG … Just a weird way of doing things from Microsoft
SOLUTION : Go in the Menu (main menu or freemode, works)
→ General Option
→ Accessibilities
→ User interface (section)
!!! → Menu animation ( ON ) !!!
THE OPTION ! need to be ON,
for the countdown to be … well … animated and disappear naturally |
Hope I HElp A TOn Of people

This is really a tragedy xD
There is no need for a countdown in these low Altidude mission either,
as the animation of our plane IS “giving us the controls” !!! … (… imagine … in the middle of the screen, “Driving sim” and there is an option for the text to stay RIGHT there in the middle, In front, Hidding everything, AND That nobody have 0 idea why (since U10 its evenstaying on the main menu for seconds 0.0 ) ( …genius … xD )
In the first place we all have desactivate menu animation as its just pretty and everybody want to pull any fps everywhere …

its weird that you all thing that is a bug … xD …
This was all intended … they just didnt saw that we, fps eaters, and this menu option that we would have disactivate this option just thinking "ah ill stop any little animation when im on the menu, dont need it " - Its not a bug its a feature …but this time the feature is in the way obviously …
It’s weird that you think that is NOT a bug 
Especially when it’s already been acknowledged by the MSFS team as being an issue with an upcoming fix.
You also posted a workaround that was already known and discussed, which is why this topic is already tagged as having a workaround.
Anyhow, welcome to the forum. Please don’t hack me

Yeah xD Im not used to here it was already psoted when I saw it xD
Im right if we use the word bug correctly … im pretty sure its wasnt one. Those, the menu aniamtion and a text(countdown) showned over everything (even the menu) in fact its just like the menu UI" there are coded to be realated and working in some way together … a bug would have been a behavior that come out of no where and thats not intentionally written in the logic.
But of course i see why ppls call this a bug … its not supposed to happen in the first place (this isnt the bug definition tho xD )
Tks for the wellcome,

CONFIRM FIX: Top Gun Maverick - Countdown Numbers and Go Not Disappearing - #19
This bug seems to be tied to having “Menu Animations” turned off.
We’ve logged it, but in the meanwhile a workaround is to go to Options → General Options → Accessibility → Set Menu Animations to “ON”.
Make sure this is set to “ON”
Please let us know if you continue to experience this issue after toggling it on.

this was easy!, thanks
Am I right to say this is still not fixed in SU10. I’m quite surprised after the update to still see the issue.
many months later - still not fixed. What sense does it make to release addon content with such a prominent bug and then not fix it?
