It's in the UI options. Can't remember exactly and it's very badly explained which is why people either miss it or are confused by it.
How exactly does it work for you? UI Focus is a hold key and I see no way to make it a toggle.

I've assigned the UI Focus to a slider button on my X52, I slide UP and panels open when I face them, I slide DOWN and I can move my head around without the panels popping up !! Initially I assigned it tou a regular button but I had to hold it down to look around without having the panels popup, it was inconvenient.
Is there not a toggle or hold option for that feature? I have toggle switches on my Warthog.
Good idea to use the slider for it. Although you still need to move the hand off the controls, unlike if you had a button on the stick/throttle that you can toggle without moving the hands. Holding it down permanently is not an option.
Hold yes, toggle not that I'm aware of. That's the problem, just that.

I've been asking this since last year and others commented on it long ago, so my faith is limited, but I hope you're right.
@Psychomorph: on my X52 the slider is on my throttle I do not have to raise/move my left hand, just move my thumb around !
That works of course. I'm waiting for the new TM throttle, but it just does not want to arrive already...
For the record:
To make sure the panels don't pop up go to
Options->Controls->Mode Switches
there you have the 4 panels:
- Looking at target panel
- Looking at comms panel
- Looking at Role panel
- Looking at systems panel
Their popping up can be switched off completely (not showing at all regardless of view direction) by selecting 'do nothing'
However if you want them to show when you hold down a button (or when you rotate a dial in a certain way so you won't need to keep the button pressed all the time) you need to proceed as follows:
- Assign a key (or a thumb-dial if you have a HOTAS throttle) to the UI FOCUS button.
- Set the UI FOCUS MODE on DIRECTION
- Then set all 4 panels above to FOCUSES THE PANEL
Rotating the dial or holding the button will now show up the panels, and if no button is pressed or the dial is completely 'rotated in the off position' you have a clear and unobstructed view regardless where you look at.
Hope this helps

Thanks for this but unfortunately I don't have a Dial so I need to keep a button pressed to not see the Panels, this obviously is pointless/useless! I need a way for the Button to be Toggle able, so ON = Panels Appear and OFF = Panels Don't Appear. I've looked but cannot seem to make this happen so unless I'm missing a key binding somewhere then it needs the Devs to add.
@AstroCreep: That's exactly the problem I have, too.
@Korben Dallas: I'll try that, but like AstroCreep said, it needs an obvious solution than periphery tinker.
Why don't you guys just say something in the recent "reminder" request thread I made? Otherwise this will never happen.

What controller are you using?
Xbox360 + steering wheel, nothing that can work like a Toggle/Switch unfortunately.
Not a great experience with rubbish controllers like that. Always use the right tool for the job. Have a look at voice attack as that might be able to generate and hold a key stroke.

Agreed. If you have an old joystick you could disable the centering spring and use it as a toggle switch until FD get this fixed.
I can play the game just fine with the controls I've got thanks, this is just one minor issue.
No need to hotwire or jury rig controllers;
Get xpadder

The program allows you set a key of your choice to toggle on or off software wise; so you press once the toggle is on, you press another time, the toggle is off.

that should work; at least it has for me in the past.
