I know this is probably a key stroke I can't identify...nevertheless.....
(I have the Cloud disabled BTW.)
When I first started" flying " CloD I didn't have a throttle indicator on the bottom left side of the screen,and also didn't have the written indicators of "sight fully illuminated ," of position of flaps.Then one day they magically appeared ( I must have touched something?)Last week they disappeared & have been playing without them ...still I wish I had them back...any ideas/
Also slightly OT: has anyone figured out how to edit the red lettering under/on identifying each plane during game action? In Il-2 there is a key stroke command that allows you to do away with the notification entirely,or just allow you to see range ,add plane type & then again add aircraft code.Does CloD have such a utility...yet?

Hi James, I can't think of a particular reason or 'key stroke' that would have turned the info windows off just like that. However, that doesn't mean it
didn't happen that way.

The settings for the windows are contained in the last section (ChatWindow) of the ConfUser.ini which is found in your ... \Documents\1C SoftClub\il-2 sturmovik cliffs of dover.
If you locate this file, open it in Notepad and scroll down to the last section. The original settings for the info windows should read:
[ChatWindow]
0:-1=-posSize '0.003 0.870 0.206 0.130' -titleStr "Motor Controls" -alpha 130 -ualpha 0 -wrap -history 100
0:262144=-lay 1 -fnt 0 -clr 0
1:-1=-posSize '0.818 0.543 0.181 0.145' -titleStr "Secondary Controls" -alpha 130 -ualpha 0 -history 10 -timeout 15

3:-1=-posSize '0.518 0.002 0.418 0.275' -titleStr Voice -border -alpha 130 -ualpha 0 -wrap -history 40 -timeout 30
3:2=-font 1
4:-1=-posSize '0.171 0.323 0.687 0.352' -titleStr NetStats -title -border -alpha 50 -ualpha 0 -custom
4:-2=-font 3 -color 139 -columnWidth '0.100 0.183 0.322 0.144 0.093 0.081' -columnSort 2

The only way I can think of getting the original settings back is copy and paste this over what you have in your corresponding section and saving the file. Please, Please make a copy of your ConfUser.ini in a nice safe place before changing anything ...just in case!
This thread:
Less annoying text
http://forum.1cpublishing.eu/showthread.php?t=21288
contains some nice changes for the ChatWindow section that makes it 'less annoying';)

With regard to your OT, you can turn off the aircraft icons from the Main menu click Options > Realism Settings > Visual Aids > No Object Icons and click 'OK'.
