HUD OFF but messages and icons ON

[Alfaunostebas11]

Speaking of IL-2 Sturmovik GB…
I kindly ask someone to show me the way (basic options and exact sequence of the H and I keys...) to obtain a flight configuration that includes:
-Digital HUD OFF
-Technical messages ON
- Units icons ON
I know I've used this, but I can't remember how...
In fact I want to be able to fly, reading the main instruments on the cockpit, but using the digital values only for certain functions, such as throttle, trim, flaps, etc. for which reading through the cockpit is very difficult, if not impossible.
Besides, of course, having the ability to see where my friends/enemies are…

Thank you, Stebas.

I use mods to get the effect I want, particularly this one that allows you to make some or all the components on the HUD digital instrument panel (except the compass) invisible:

Otherwise, as I recall, toggling off the default HUD also toggles off other assists--maybe aircaft and target icons but I don't remember for certain.

 

The engine status icons and percent information is called Technochat. There is a tick box to enable this feature in game settings.

 

I'll take a deeper look tonight what my settings are, and what mods I use.

In realism, uncheck instrument panel, leave h and i on.  Compass is only thing on in hud.

Unchecking the instrument panel also kills the mini-map. However, these settings otherwise achieve what you are asking for.

The mod I linked will let you toggle the mini-map. It also can remove the G-meter and leave only the compass.

OK, thank you.

Grazie mille, ragazzi !
