Unable to fly with preferred settings despite continuous tinkering with "Settings"

[Sky_Wolf]

I have spent the last two hours attempting to start a campaign with the HUD settings that I prefer but I have not been able to do this. 

 

What I want:

-To be able to see flight leader's instructions and "mission critical objective complete" notifications

-No other HUD features (no indication of percentage throttle, no pop-up telling me that my landing gear is up/down, no ability to see my plane icon on the map, etc.)

 

How do I do this? I have played the game for over 200 hours but I have never been able to answer this question by searching the forums (so I am posting here). 

 

Thank you in advance for your help.

This question has never been resolved by the way:

Ok, I figured this out.

 

If you want to fly without HUD but with flight leader's instructions and other plane-to-plane comms, as well as mission notifications, push when "H" in-game.
