And how can you get rid of that friggin' FPS frame counter in the upper right corner, probably set by NVDIA ..The first part I'm not sure what you mean.The NVIDIA thing is not on by default, but to get rid of it the shortcut should be LAlt+R.To get rid of it permanently, try LAlt+Z, and set it up to your liking, or uninstall NVIDIA Experience. EDIT: I mean GeForce Experience of course. Sent from my MAR-LX1A using Tapatalk 1

Try LAlt+R anyway. Was sure they came with experience.Speedbar, I'd guess it depends on the module. Sent from my MAR-LX1A using Tapatalk
Crash Master Posted October 26, 2021 Posted October 26, 2021 Try LCtrl+Y. That is the info bar toggle. Is that what you're looking for? 1
jackd Posted October 26, 2021 Author Posted October 26, 2021 (edited) That's it. Now how can you increase the display size? I did that for the in game message box .. with a 4k monitor i need a magnifying glass .. It shows up in Cockpit view, but you have to keep activating it again for chase view where it's needed most. Game-speed settings are not shown also ... Edited October 26, 2021 by jackd
Crash Master Posted October 26, 2021 Posted October 26, 2021 Can't help you with re-size, but the game speed settings do show, in the far right corner in red text.

Hiob Posted October 27, 2021 Posted October 27, 2021 The FPS counter really sounds like G-Force-Experience. Are you sure, that you haven't installed it by accident with a nvidia driver update? "Muß ich denn jedes Mal, wenn ich sauge oder saugblase den Schlauchstecker in die Schlauchnut schieben?"

Nope, you were right. I had no Experience running, and it was deinstalled. So i deleted all NVDIA dstuff with DDU (3rd party tool). The FPS was still there, without any GPU drivers however. Then reinstalled the NVDIA plus Geoforce Experience (IMO just shitty spyware). Then i disabled overlay, and de-installed Experience with Control panel. ! GONE ! 1

jackd Posted November 5, 2021 Author Posted November 5, 2021 (edited) Yep ... it is and was active, but does not do what i want, especially in arcade chase view. I would like at least ground- and or airspeed, height and compass displayed, either by an on off switch. A small map with your location and that of boogiemen eventually without the need for switching to F10 could be nice too .. I don't know if you're familiar with IL2 great battles, but that setup is perfect done there (see second pic). Even shows game speed when you want to shorten boring long flight time towards a next event. IL-2 GB arcade chase view: Edited November 5, 2021 by jackd

The option was for cockpit apparently. As for chase view and the on-screen info you're looking for, there was this "game avionics mode" in "overlays" section right above "controls indicator". It used to show target labels and arcade radar with weapons info, current heading, alt, speed and alike. You might have to enable "game flight mode" first on the "gameplay" tab. If it does not show up then I don't know if they did drop it eventually. 1 Win10 i7-10700KF 32GB RTX4070S Quest 3 T16000M VPC CDT-VMAX TFRP FC3 F-14A/B F-15E CA SC NTTR PG Syria
jackd Posted November 5, 2021 Author Posted November 5, 2021 (edited) I have both on, but i would like to see large numbers on my 4k monitor as shown with Lcntrl-Y. the speed bar is not shown in arcade chase view, only in cockpit F1 view. But i will further explore this LoL BTW, i am a noob with DCS; is there any way to enlarge (zoom out) arcade chase view in DCS? You can in F2 view. Just found out that if your in cockpit HUD screen display is off, you turn it on with Rshift + L, battery on. In some s27 training missions it is off in air start, probably forgotten by the demo mission makers. Edited November 5, 2021 by jackd

Art-J Posted November 8, 2021 Posted November 8, 2021 (edited) ^ Keep in mind the fundamental difference between Il-2GB and DCS in this aspect. In the former, you can turn on these view options while keeping the flight model and systems intact, while in the latter, game avionics mode also disables many of simulated aircraft systems (or replaces them with arcade versions) and depending on an aircraft, that might not be what you're interested in.
