@Tanuki44,
 
Thank you for posting and providing the knowledge. I moved the crew status indicator based on your work.
 
I was looking at the wrong file. For those who wish to move their crew indicator then please use this as a reference. The folder & file to edit is here:
Folder: ...OpenBeta\Mods\aircraft\Uh-1H\Cockpit\Scripts\AI\ControlPanel
File: g_panel_page.lua (See attachment)
 
The lines of code to adjust will be the "local shift_X", "local shift_Y", and "local size_X". These should be on lines 42 - 44.
 
Adjusting the "local shift_X" value will move the overlay along the X-axis. A negative value will move it left and a positive value will move it right.
Adjusting the "local shift_Y" value will move the overlay along the Y-axis. A negative value will move it down and a positive value will move it up.
Adjusting the "local size_X" value will adjust the width of the shaded box. Use a set decimal value instead of the variable value. A positive decimal value will increase the width of the shaded box to the right. A value of 0 will remove the shaded box. A negative decimal value will increase the width of the shaded box to the left.
 
Note: No other values were adjusted. Your results may vary because of monitor resolution and monitor configuration.
 
The values that work for my monitor setup are:
local shift_X          = -3.85    -- -0.65
local shift_Y          = 0.40    -- -1
local size_X          = 0.68    -- -shift_X + 0.02
 
Monitor setup is msi Optix MAG271CQR (27" curved) with 3 Cubesim displays. Monitor resolution for DCS is set at 4960x1440.
 
P.S. You can save the file as is then rename your original file to *.lua.bak or *.lua.orig. If you want to use this file then remove the ".CURRENT" file extension after you make a backup of the original.
g_panel_page.lua.CURRENT

I'd like to reiterate the problem and solution here.
Problem:
An error message will appear stating, "Can not open debriefing file" when exiting a multiplayer map in single player or Mission Editor.
The cause:
1. Group Name contains an apostrophe.
2. Slot blocking script references the Group Name containing an apostrophe.
Solution:
1. Avoid using an apostrophe in Group Names. i.e. O'Malley, O'Higgins, O'Man, etc.
2. Use dash (-), underscore (_), or no special character. i.e. OMalley, O-Higgins, O_Man, etc.
Reference the above posts for examples of a MIZ file that contains a slot blocker with the apostrophe and a MIZ file that does not use slot blocker.
Thank you, @Flappie for digesting this thread and providing the space to find the root cause of this problem.

OK, I finally found a way to move the Crew Status Indicator! The file that needs to be edited is crew_indicator_common.lua.
This file is located in the main DCS install folder here:
...\DCS World OpenBeta\Scripts\Aircrafts\_Common\Cockpit
Edit Line 58 to look something like this:
base.init_pos        = {0.50,0.75} -- {-aspect, -1.0 + size + 0.0525}
Please note, the first pair of x & y coordinates are meant for my screen dimensions. The remarked coordinates are the default values. Make sure to make a backup of the original file in case things get messed up. Additionally, make a backup of the current file to account for new updates to DCS. Yes, these values would need to be changed after each DCS update.
This overlay also affects the UH-1H Huey or other vehicle with a similar display option.
Here is a screenshot that shows the location of each overlay. These positions correspond to external MFD displays.

Well, I feel silly! Thank you, @razo+r for the sanity check.
In all fairness, an explanation of setting up chaff would have been VERY helpful in the update! I hope this unusual configuration will be addressed in later updates.
Here are the steps to ARM the chaff dispenser:
Armament (Or select when airborne):
A/S Switch = ARM
GND ORIDE = ON
CMWS Control Panel:
Off/On/Test = On
Arm/Safe = ARM
CMWS/NAV = CMWS
Bypass/Auto = User preference (Bypass for manual control)
WPN (Weapon) Page:
ASE submenu:
Chaff Safe/Arm (OSB T1) = Arm
Chaff Mode (OSB L1) = Program or Manual (user preference)
