Two HUD questions

[Mr Greezy]

Hey guys. Well, I finally got the game running mostly playable. The stutters are still there but less and the BETA patch has made it look much nicer.

Anyway...

What is the white-ish box on the top left that displays a history of events like "___ is flying for blue" and "time accelerated" etc.? How can I toggle to hide it?

The same goes for the display of actions on the bottom left in blue. The throttle 80% updates, etc, just like it was in IL2 1946. What's it called and can I disable it?

Thanks much in advance. I'd search for it in the forums but I honestly don't know the terms I'm looking for.
