Can I get rid of the HUD shadows in Third Person?

Post by TRG89 »

I like to play in third person but the shadows behind where the default HUD readouts used to be are very distracting, as you can see in the screenshot below.

Is there any way to get rid of them?

Yes, simply move them out of view in the gauges.txt file. Details are in the customizing kit, but in short, you'll want to modify lines 19-27. Just moving the vertical values to off-screen will work.
