How2 remove the HUD clutter? Red Text and box?

Just out of interest, does anyone know how to get the windows back once they have been closed. Couldn't manage to bring them back when I tried.

You will have to customize them manually from scratch i'm afraid.

While in the cockpit, enable the mouse cursor/clickable interface with F10 if it's not already on, right-click, select the option to create a new window. Then, alt+click on the window to bring it into focus, move and resize it to your liking and finally right click on it and select customize.
From that point on you can edit what gets displayed, if the borders are visible or not and so on. The left hand column deals with how the window is displayed (transparency, borders, etc). The middle one is what it displays. The right hand column is a list of available things to display. Just select something from the right hand column and move it to the middle one with the left/right arrow-shaped buttons, then use the up/down arrow buttons to set priority within the column.

I took a quick look when trying to re-arrange my windows but didn't delve deep into it, so there might be some inaccuracies in my post. In any case though it's pretty straightforward if you give it a couple of minutes.

With the above method you can edit the radio chatter window and copy what you see in the properties of the other one to make them look the same.

I'd just like to make the boxes smaller, but I'm not sure it that's possible. After Alt clicking the box, you can then right click and go into the box (window) settings, but I can't seem to make the box smaller.
