Trick for popup interface in ship and SRV

[MarcusVatta]

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.

Hey, you can turn all the pop ups off completely in control options and have them just bound to something and pop up when pressed.

Really? Might give that a try...

It's under Controls Options, Mode Selection. You want to change the 'Sensors Screen' to only display on keypress, then bind a key!

yeah nobody wants the extra complexity of this, i think the original suggestion works much better because it allows you to keep normal menu functionality the rest of the time (i.e when in ships)
