Pop up panels.

I play with keyboard and mouse in VR and starting to have problem with pop up panels when you look left, right or down (SRV).
As when these panels appear keyboard controls cut off from flying or driving.

Is there a way to turn off pop up looking in that direction?
 
hi there :)

Yes there is a way to turn this off..

In Game Options (ESC).. Controls.. Mode Switches section..

Looking at Panel.. Does nothing :)

there are 4 panels.. Target/ Comms/ Role (the SRV Panel)/ Systems

Thanks, pop up panels fun for a time but really a pain after a while.

Interesting note I do not have pop up problem with comms, is that look UP?
 
For me it Comms is now key(2).. I think it was Look up slightly left but I dont use Headlook often.. I dont have VR
Middle mouse button is now Headlook..press and hold and move mouse to look around
 
I did the same and found my self wondering why it is not the default. The novelty of the auto pop up soon wheres off and just becomes annoying, especially when in the SRV as the cockpit is fairly cramped. I have shift and HAT to control the panels now and its really useful. I can select docking request without even having to look over, meaning I can keep my eyes on speeding in!

Just remember to close the window after you are finished with it.

Strange of you to be hanging around this section of the forum.
 
Not strange at all LOL.. I noticed a question being asked on Forum and thought Id help out if I could :)
Yours was a fairly easy solution :)

I use the automatic popup all the time. In fact I do it so much that when I am running around on planets in flat mode, I keep turning my head to check for statuses and stuff and I wonder why I can't see the window popup on my wall. Then I realize oh crap in flat mode, then I have to find the button to press.

Looking at the COMM panel shows you the last things said, but to use it you need to hit the assigned key.
 
The auto popup is awesome and feels so natural. Can't say I've ever found it to be annoying.

That depends. In most cockpits its good and feels natural, like you discribed, but when in an exploration vessel with open view canopy, then it is just annoying. Having a cockpit with a wide side window and free view to the ground is pretty awesome, but it is totally annoying when you try to look at the ground below and the Role menu pops up, blocking view to the landing area. Or watching a gas giant passing by and suddenly looking at your navigations, where a an awesome view was seconds ago.

A quick switch to turn it on and off would be nice.

That's how mine are setup. All but the SRV menu are sight activated, the SRV menu being button toggled. I then have a key mapped to turn them all off. Which is great, but I warn you - they will enable themselves on every jump, exit from SC etc etc etc. I had to write a small app to prevent that from happening, now when they're set to off - they stay off!!
