How to see crew messages without having hud on?


Recommended Posts

Posted

This may be a dumb question but I cant figure it out. I have the following:

 

HUD transparency 70 percent

Instrument panel hidden

map hidden

 

I dont want any HUD elements but I want to be able to see all the kill messages, etc...I am not seeing any of the messages unless the HUD is on.

you can adjust the gui settings

 

so you can turn help and tech tips off, hud instruments off and leave the chat window on. This is how I fly in MP most of the time.

Does it work in SP as well like that?  I turned all that off and only want to see the messages from my crew members on the bomber.

Wish I could turn off the instruments but still have icons.  I though H toggled instruments and I toggled icons, but not so.

By instruments, do you mean technochat? Or the junk in the bottom left? You should be able to turn technochat off and still have icons, I'm not so sure about the bottom left area.

I toggles icons - and the compass (do not ask me why).  H toggles the whole HUD including Icons and compass.

 

I cannot get Icons without the compass - but you can have just these if you go to settings / flight interface from main menu and untick the tips and messages box and the instruments box. Now when you toggle the HUD on, you should just see icons - and the annoying compass, but no messages and none of the other instrument data in the LH corner - except for the annoying compass.

 

Did I mention the annoying compass?

 

(Anyone know how to get rid of it while keeping Icons?)

Could you put HUD transparency to zero unreasonable? Or does that affect the icons too?

It does not affect the icons, but you cannot set it below 10%, so the compass is still there. Being annoying.

Would also be nice to be able to have icons without killing the frame rate in VR ...

I only skimmed the thread, did anyone mention the annoying compass yet?

On my config, if I toggle HUD off by "H" key then I press "I" key I have icon showned again. But unfortunately I do not have mission message or chat message...

Somehow [H] hud is far worse for FPS than icons. Would be nice indeed to have text translation of the russian sound files (or have russian-accented english sound files!)

I do the same, have Icons assigned to a button on my Warthog throttle. I just toggle them on when needed. As far as wingmen chat, I try not to pay too much attention as I can not understand them anyway. Hopefully someday we will get English speakers.

 

At least in VR, icons are not much of a performance hit at all. But the HUD certainly is.
