how to completely remove all virtual controls on the screen? I already have all of them attached to the keys but they still don't disappear.

The on-screen controls appear as long as there is no joystick connected. Just assigning keys for the controls is not enough to make them go away in the current implementation.

Is there not a way to remove them?

Another question is how I applied a command on the keyboard to turn the plane in left and right flight, but it moves the rudder too, and the rudder is attached to another key. Is there a way to separate the steering control from the rudder on the same key?

The rudder assistance is automatically on as long as there is no physical device connected.

These functions are intended for mobile users where there are rarely any hardware devices connected.

Using keys to fly is somewhat an edge case and because these key don't send values constantly, unlike an axis, there is no way of knowing if the key is assigned or not in the module that controls the rudder assistance or the screen overlays. Internally it's that well optimized that modules don't have access to everything, i.e. the graphics does not know the key assignments and the assistances for the rudder does also not know them, only if there is movement on an axis or constantly new values from a joystick (then it doesn't have to assist with the rudder).

This is all intended behavior and if we were to turn off the rudder assistance and the on screen display there may be a lot of users who wont be able to use the sim as before...

Dear Jet Pack could you at least inform me where i configure the virtual joystick so that it is centered on the movements?

there is an option on mobile for that

i'm able to pilot everything with just the keyboard and i don't see the need for a joystick next year maybe i buy it, but i would like to know if in the program files folders you don't have the option to remove these virtual controls?

The virtual controls are part of the executable and are rendered by Aerofly, there are no files that can be changed or removed to change this as far as I'm aware.

No problem in the meantime i'm making my flights in this incredible game.
