Found a older thread regarding making the TAC display a bit smaller on screen Thanks Pol(for those who use the Tac you lightweights biggrin haha)

Go to c:\users\(your username)\Appdata\Roaming\OBD_Games\OBDWW1\Over Flanders Fields...
Open ViewUI.xml (notepad woks fine) find
B
</HUDVsiMetric>
<TacticalDisplay BGIMage="tactical_display.dds" BGPos="0 0" BGSize="512 512" BGScale="0.30" BackColor="0x1f0000FF" Mode="0"/>
<TacticalDisplayMetric BGIMage="tactical_display.dds" BGPos="0 0" BGSize="512 512" BGScale="0.30"
BackColor="0x1f0000FF" Mode="0"/>

And CHANGE the BGscale 0.30 to 0.25 or even 0.20 if you like..it still keeps the TAC but it only takes up a small corner of your screen. Works great for me guys

Also anyone not using Trackir but wanting your view to move a bit quicker (VC mode) find

<ViewUI Default="VirtualCockpitView">
<VirtualCockpitView FovScale="1.0" RotationRate="0.9"

And Change the rotation rate from 0.9 to 1.5 or higher for a faster view rate

BTW When you save with notepad, make sure you do not save as ".txt" or it will save as viewUI.xml.txt
which won't work.

save as the original extension .xml.
