Sometimes I would like to just get rid of the chat window text for awhile. Has anyone figured out how to assign a key or button in order to toggle a "Hide the chat window" option?
EX: press "H" to hide it... press "H" again to bring it back.

Deleting the confUser.ini file in the 1C Softclub MOD folder in my docs and starting the game again should reset it, BUT you will loose other settings you have created, like controls and stuff.
So if you are going to do that, first copy the confUser.ini and save to a safe place. Then go through the reset. Then you can edit back the other stuff if you want into the new confUser.ini that is created.

Hi All
Im very new to this game and have had a problem with the grey boxes (unselected info window). I have watched the tutorial and followed what it says, but doesnt work the same. So to run through what I do......
Once I have made an info window and deselect it, I cant seem to select it again. I may have stuffed up the key binding maybe? I can make more info windows and right click on them to give the option to close. But as soon as I deselect the window I cant seem to select it again by holding ALT and left clicking on it.
I better point out that Im using JoytoKey software so that I can emulate the hat of the joystick as a mouse movement. I dont know if this could be the problem.
Sorry if I haven't explained myself very well, Im dyslexic (thank god for spell check). Also if I have posted in the wrong area.
Any help would be so appreciated

Not sure exactly why you can't get rid of the grey boxes...although getting grey boxes is a very common new player problem...Check the video in the link above specifically for getting rid of them...Bear in mind that often there can be many of them on top of each other and it may not look like you are actually removing them when you actually are...You jut have to keep repeating the procedure...
It maybe that you need to remove the Joytokey program if you aren't successful in removing them...
The grey box issue should be relatively easily resolved...
================
Checkout the 'Beginners Guide'...for info and tips...It will save you a heap of time in getting up to scratch.....and its a really fun learning curve anyway..
Beginners Guide Link Here
Windows Management Guide
Also try youtube for startup procedures on all the aircraft...
I recommend getting in the online server as soon as you can take off if that's ultimately where you'd like to fly...I flew single player for 30 minutes before I took the plunge...The ATAG online server is a great environment to learn and there's not really any damage you can do in there as a new player.....It is also mission based just with real players trying to foil your objectives...If you are concerned then pick an airstrip furthest from the front line (there always is one or two on every map) and get some alt before you go hunting...You'll get tagged a lot but there are tricks you learn out of pure desperation in those first few weeks that you'll be able to use later...I know cos I still use the same tricks I learned then too because they work...and never underestimate the stall to get you out of a tight fix...That sometimes works too...TeamSpeak is optional but you'll learn a whole lot faster with it even if you say very little....

Thanks so much for the reply Lewis
I did follow that tutorial word for word. For me the ALT click doesn't seem to work. As I mentioned I wonder if I stuffed it all up with the Joytokey software. I tried turning the software off and still no luck. I kept experimenting with making new info windows to deselect them to reselect them. Now I have a screen filled with grey boxes.
Is there anyway to reset things?
You could try 'Verify integrity of game cache'....This gets your game back to vanilla pre-patch version of the game....I'm not sure if this will get rid of those boxes but should only take 20 minutes to try....You WILL have to learn to be able to remove them properly at some point anyway...
You'll need to backup the patches so you don't have to download them again too if you try this....
Open STEAM and Go to....STEAM > LIBRARY > All Games > IL2 Sturmovik: Cliffs Of Dover (right click) > Properties > Local Files > Verify Integrity of Game Cache

Cheers Lewis
I'll give that a go.
You don't need to verify [see post above Lewis by spartan8a]. Just find your confuser.ini in your C:\Users\Username\Documents\1C SoftClub\il-2 sturmovik cliffs of dover - MOD folder.
Open confuser.ini with Notepad or similar. Scroll down to [Chatwindow] and either delete what is there or replace what is there with this;

If you choose to just delete the text, Cliffs should copy over the default from the Steam programme folder (where there is a copy of Confuser.ini). If you have Steam Cloud enabled then it might just copy your unwanted settings.

Yeah....What he said!
So we can make a profile that folks can copy and paste into their game?...I might add that to the 'Windows Guide'.....Be a lot easier for new players...

First, many thanks to you Lewis; your guide helped me sort out my windows "painlessly" way back when.
Second, is there a way to change the font colour (or "color" for those a few kilometers [or miles..... ok, ok, i'll stop...] south of where i reside) for text in the windows? Other than the ones that obviously allow you to change a colour?
Thanks.

Thanks for all your help Lewis & Spectic
That worked. Gave me back the function of using ALT and left click to select window. Thanks so much.
Thank you, finally got the windows sorted out here.
excellent tutorial. downloaded 5-31-2017. setting up the Hurricane and Spit. When I setup the engine info window all I get is THTL. The tutorial shows Rad, Pitch and Mixture which I would also like to see.
Also, how do I get around the obscured view of the gyro. Is that a different thread or can I ask that here?
Last edited by wksmith9327; Jun-04-2017 at 10:21.
Rgrt...It shows THTL until you fire up your engine and move your throttle stick...Then all those should suddenly appear...Its like they dont appear until you start physically moving your hardware...
Also...if you are flying single player you may not have full real turned on...I think if you dont have full engine management turned on you may just have throttle to tinker with...Im not too sure about single player..its been years since I played it...Online is more fun...
You'll need a headtracker to see around the joystick at your compass I think....But you dont need the compass in the server anyway...'tab - 7 - 1' gives you nearest enemy fighters in the ATAG server...and you can bring your map up until you have worked out the degrees...

Lewis - thanks for the response - that did the trick. And thanks for the invite to online game with the group. I'm learning the ropes for a bit and I live in rural US where bandwidth for gaming very hard to come by. As I am new to the community - I am very hopeful that the interest in this game will continue and grow. I am very enthusiastic about learning it and setting up a proper console. I have subscribed to team speak and "drop-in" to listen to the exchanges and action. Also, I have ordered TrackIR and some headphones to help with managing the controls in the sim. Thanks again for your prompt response.
Well done man...You dont need a mic to be on our TS...just listen if you like....its all good...~S~

I have a window displaying "Secondary systems", but the color is blue which is difficult to see at dawn and dusk.
I want to change it to something like yellow, but I dont get a color option in the game.
I tried to circomvent that by adding it into the confUser.ini, but to no avail.
Any idears?
