This is another idea to partly fix the problem that Flanker35 mentioned earlier, UI clutter
Type of improvement: support a 2 display configuration: 1 monitor for 3d gfx, 1 monitor for 2d gfx: logs, maps etc
Explanation of proposals: Now maps, event logs, chat messages etc are displayed in separate windows over the rendered 3 dimensional game graphics. Most display adapters support 2 monitors. Maybe this 2nd monitor could be used for displaying these overlay windows *only* - ie. the 3 dimensional world would NOT show on this second monitor. The main display would still show cockpit etc, but having map etc. open wouldn't hide what you see while flying.
EDIT: another way to fix this problem could be a keypress command that would toggle the visibility of map and all infowindows etc shown on top of 3d world, so it would be QUICK to get them all out of the way while flying.
Benefits: overlay windows wouldn't interfere with flying
