[REPORTED] Controls indicator (RCTRL + ENTER) not working

[OnlyforDCS]

As the title says. I can't get the control indicator window to show up in the right hand corner of my screen. I kind of need it even more than usual because currently at the moment there is no force feedback implemented in the module yet, and with the stick being 'limp' as it is Im kind of muddling through without it :)

Already reported (ticket #33053).

As a temporary workaround, I made a few minor modifications to the ControlIndicator_page.lua file lcoated in "...\DCS World\Mods\aircraft\M-2000C\Cockpit\ControlsIndicator".

 

Here's the content of my modified ControlIndicator_page.lua file

(I removed the indicators for the brakes and trimming, as I wasn't able to get them to work properly):
