hey, i want a more realistic feel, and the hud is really unnecessary, so is it possible to remove it?
yes, it is. In the main menu it can be set somewhere in the 'options' I believe, but it can also be done on track (not garage, really when driving). Default keys are 4, 5, 6 (all three keys switch on/off different parts of the hud).
The LCD HUD at the bottom right of the screen is important as you can adjust pit strategy on the fly. So I would make sure you have the on/off key for it memorised.
Yeah i have 2 buttons mapped on my wheel for position and damage HUD. Press once and it comes up, press again and it goes away (no HUD). But i use minimal wegde HUD mod as well. Much smaller and non intrusive HUD with good info.
