TWEAK OF THE WEEK: Annoying Display Messages

For additional tweaks visit

The "FIRST" and "FOREMOST" thing to remember before applying any "tweak" in Flight Simulator X is always remember to backup your important files first! Should your "tweaking" attempt fail, you will always have the original files to revert to, thus preventing a complete de-install and re-install of Flight Simulator X. I recommend copying these folders to DVD-RW's. The first place to start is by modifying the FSX.cfg file. Many people are intimidated by modifying this file, but not to worry. If you backed-up your file, let's get started.

Double-click on the FSX.cfg file. If you are prompted to select a program to open the file, select "Notepad".

The sections in the FSX.cfg file are categorized by sections stated in brackets.-i.e. [MAIN]

FILE/FOLDER NAME: FSX.cfg file

Removing Annoying Display Messages

Turn off the red warning text message for brakes, pause, etc.

Should you choose to use this "tweak", here's how to do it:

Under the [DISPLAY] section, change this following lines to read

InfoBrakesEnable=False
InfoParkingBrakesEnable=False
InfoPauseEnable=False
InfoSlewEnable=False
InfoStallEnable=False
InfoOverspeedEnable=False

You are changing anything that reads "True" to "False"

My FS is set to:

InfoBrakesEnable=False
InfoParkingBrakesEnable=True
InfoPauseEnable=False
InfoSlewEnable=True
InfoStallEnable=False
InfoOverspeedEnable=True
