Can I remove the info/status bar at the bottom of the external views?

As caption, thank you.

As caption, thank you.

LCtrl+y, will let you cycle through some options.
Cheers!

EDIT: Same combination will turn it on in the cockpit. Don't remember if it does something in the F10 map.

It would be nice to have it off by default like in the cockpit. (At least as an option in 'settings')

 

98% percent of the time when looking in external it is to enjoy the sights, not flying the numbers.

Yes, I made a mod to do that because it annoyed me as well.

 

Just make a blank file called StatusBarDialog.lua and put it in DCS/Scripts/UI, overwriting the original (at your own risk). This will remove it entirely - not just turn it off by default. So if you want to be able to turn it on and off, don't do this.

 

Obviously, it will get replaced with the original during each update so use OVGME as with any other mod.

 

There's a probably a far more eloquent solution to this, but this was my quick and dirty answer to the distracting status bar.

If you turn it off in the beginning, it will remain off for the duration of the mission. No need for anything else.
