RED PRINT: How to get rid of?

[Robert]

Thank you salmo. Jeez. I'm feeling a bit thick now. I read that so many times on the forum, but never occured to me that when others asked about the boxes, I thought they meant just the chat box that I remember from the old IL2. I didn't realize ALL the chat boxes - whether HUD, or chat boxes - acted the same. Nor did I even think the red print display WAS a chat box. I was used to it being an overlay. Hense my obtuseness thinking it was within the CONFIG file.

STOOOPID! LOL Thanks again.

Hi Robert,

Here's a great starting point for your chat window configuration. Simply copy and paste this code in your .ini and then you can customize from there: (make sure to make a back-up 1st)

This is the cleanest looking setup I've seen yet. Messages disappear after a certain amount of time and the whole screen stays clean while you are flying (minus your control indicators). Give it a gander.
