How to remove the little throttle icon in vr?

[moespeeds]

Anyone know how to remove the throttle representation? It's a little icon bottom of my flat screen that shows my throttle position. In VR it's constantly at my edge of vision and hella annoying. Can't find any menu item to kill it. Can't click on it in flat. No vr controllers in this house.

Can't be removed.  Because of the unique design of the throttle, it's there to provide reference.

So you know that it's constantly at the edge of your vision in vr? 

Is there a way to relocate it?

Strange, as a VR user I do not have the throttle representation? Vive Pro user.

It's not supposed to be there constantly.  Only when using the throttle.  Are you saying it's there 100% of the time while in VR?

[moespeeds]

Only when I move it.

It definitely needs to be there.  Reason is, due to the unique shape of the throttle pattern, (the "h" pattern), if someone was in low idle, and didn't know it, and then tried to go into reverse, they would inadvertently move the throttle from low idle to fuel cut off.  And vice versa (if they were in high idle and thought they were in low idle, and wanted to go to fuel cut off, they would instead go to reverse thrust.)

Even if we made it an option to toggle it on or off, there would be people who would simply forget to toggle it back on when needed.  All things considered, it's best to have it intermittently appear (only when using the throttle.)

You cannot see it in VR, it's just a white blob at the edge of vision. No way can you discern what it actually is... At first I thought it was my mouse cursor there.

Imagine having a little white ghost at the edge of your vision, constantly there as you turn your head.

Am I correct in assuming you're using 11.50?  If so, can you confirm this is only happening in Vulkan?  Can you also check to see if it's happening in 11.50 under OpenGL? (uncheck the Vulkan option in your graphics settings.)

[moespeeds]

Only in 11.50 Vulcan

I do not see any icon in Open GL

Some of the graphical elements don't work in the TBM under Vulkan.  It's something that is being worked on.  An update shouldn't be too far off to fix these issues.
