Less annoying text

[janik_dk]

I wonder if it's possible to have the damage info and aircraft controls info on right side instead of left?

Good work

In case you want to spot enemy planes easily in the sky you may wish to move all panels to bottom of the screen. I have this setup since IL-2 and shoot every dot I spot on sky background

You can do this as well by using alt + mouse click on the window then selecting the properties. Then go to the window properties and change the inactive background to 0. Set the timeouts and history to what you want etc. Then in the individual message properties you can change the font size etc. Lots of ways to customise these windows.

It really is a great system if you just have a look at how it works.

Great, thanks for that! I found the Timeout option for messages very usefull. Many times i thought i had again a engine failure while in fact it was the message from the previous session. Now after 120 sec's my screen is clear, GREAT.

This is a REALLY nice setting for people.. I can't imagine many people would not prefer this over the gray boxes.. we really need to start collecting all of these great settings in one thread..

excellent thanks

Thank you very much for this, helped me a lot!

Though I had some trouble getting it to work ingame.

First I copy pasted this into \documents\1C Softclub...etc. But it didn´t work ingame.

So I tried to turn off the Steamcloud feature for the game and voilá, the chat appeared as in the Opening Post.

But then I noticed that all my bindings for the keyboard, joystick and so on, was gone.

Turned Steamcloud back on and bang the settings went back to my original ones, with my old chat windows.
So I tried to copy paste this into the confuser.ini in the steamfolder instead, but with no luck.

So to everyone that got this to work, do you have steamcloud on or off?
