What are little squares with letters in them?

Wish we could get rid of them, they spoil my screenshots in first person view.

Yes, along with the handlebar menu at the top of the screen that pops up every time you move the mouse - pathetic. 
A simple toggle switch in the options menu would have been good, as the file at FS.to to disable it for MSFS2020 doesn't work in 2024. 
I don't know why Asobo don't see this.  Rather than remove it or have an option to turn it off, it looks like they took the time to restyle it for 2024 though.  :rolleyes:

I like to trick airline passengers into thinking I have my own swimming pool in my back yard by painting a large blue rectangle on my patio.

Handlebar, you talking the white toolbar?

It's the white arrow and line at the top of the screen which points the way to the drop down menu every time you move the mouse in flight. 

It is known generally as the 'handlebar', as there is a 'no handlebar' hack for 2020 that works well over on FS.to. 
I believe it is just a bit of HTML / CSCS code that makes it transparent when I looked at the file.

Even complete newbies would know where the drop down menus is after the first few moments in the sim.  It really is one of the most ridiculous things.

Hoping someone will make another mod to get rid of the handlebar in 2024.

If you enjoy making videos it’s a pain in the rear end.

While we're at it;
 

  • A mod to remove the Blue flashing Highlights of buttons/switches in Lock Mode
  • A mod to remove the TAB + (something) in 3rd Person Mode

and while someone is at it, please make another mod to make the handlebar visible again in VR, where it is missing completely. 😀
