The lookdown interface can definitely get in the way when landing, and the left and right screens in the SRV seem a bit too close and block too much of my view.
I do have a workaround. If you select a screen with the number keys 1,2,3,4 the screen stays up when you're not looking at it. More importantly, no other screens pop up while it's open. So for landing, I bring up the 1 or 4 screens and I can look down with impunity. For driving, I bring up the 2 screen (the bottom one) and I can look left and right without obstruction.
One thing to keep in mind: opening the 3 screen (chat) focuses keyboard input to the chat screen, so I don't recommend it for this trick.
