I'm probably just being ignorant, but

How do you turn off all the text and radio subtitles at the top of the screen while flying? And also is there a way to toggle visibility of the little throttle indicator at the bottom of the screen? I haven't found a working control to do so yet.

And on a slightly different note, my game crashes about every two flights or so. I'll have been flying for about twenty minutes or maybe a little more and then the game just freezes up and my computer has to spend about three minutes just closing down the game. This is probably just because my computer is probably a bit weak for the game, but still, if there's anything that could be done, I'd be glad to hear of it.

My system-specs:

Windows XP/SP 3
Pentium(R) Dual-Core CPU E6300 @ 2.0 GHz (2 CPUs)
3068 MB RAM
Direct X 9.0c
NVidia GeForce 9500 GT with 1 GB memory
