Can't hide "basic controls" overlay during Xbox Flight Simulator.

Hi KayaGainwind! My name is Ricardo an independent advisor ready to help you with this situation!

Removing or hiding the HUD in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 involves using the game’s Drone Camera. We have a Drone Camera guide if you’d like to dig deeper into how to use the game’s version of a photo mode but activating the Drone Camera and removing the HUD is as simple as pressing Insert on your keyboard. This will give you an external view of your plane (outside the cockpit), with your HUD elements hidden. From here you can use the Drone Camera controls to customize your shot, or just take a normal screenshot using whatever method you normally do.

Players can also hide the HUD by moving their mouse to the top of the screen and activating the top menu. From here, click the Camera option to access a pop-up menu that will get the job done.

are you talking of something like this?

ok, and have you tried to press the X on the top right corner of that overlay?

While a mission is playing (the quick mission to explore the pyramids), the game starts with a giant 80% covering of the screen which is the xbox controller surrounded with details of what all the buttons do.

I am not talking about the HUD. The control overlay is covering the entire screen showing the xbox game controller and what all the buttons do.
