    Description

    DroneSim's Compact Toolbar for MSFS 2024

    Makes the default MSFS 2024 toolbar smaller and cleaner -- including no more white mouse trigger line.
    There are two variants: 75% scale (recommended) or 50% scale. 
    No performance impact, no extra UI clicks -- just a slimmer toolbar

    This project is mainly inspired by

    heclak's Handlebar Mod which only removed the white line 
    ocelada's Minitoolbar, which additionally shrunk the size and unfortunately got discontinued, but don't worry, I'm here ;-)

    What it does

    Shrinks the toolbar and button heights and widths to a scale of 75% or 50% and hides the “annoying white bar” so it doesn’t pop up when you move the mouse.

    Installation
    • Download your preferred variant (75% or 50%)
    • Extract the zip
    • Copy the folder dronesim-compact-toolbar into your MSFS Community folder.
    • Don't get annoyed by the default toolbar and of course
    • Have fun flying

    ⚠️ Please keep only one of the dronesim-compact-toolbar folders active at a time (either 75% or 50%, not both).

    Uninstall

    Delete the folder dronesim-compact-toolbar from your Community folder. I hope you don't need to :)

    Notes

    If you don’t see the toolbar change or even disappear completely after installing, make sure there isn’t another toolbar mod in the Community folder (sorry for that heclak)

    Tested with the latest SU4 Beta 1.6.18.0.

    If it doesn't work on SU3, please tell me. I'll regenerate the files for this case.

    great mod, thx captain!

    is it possible in an future update, to scale down the whole rest of HUD elements (menu, world map,...) in msfs2024?

    there is actually a mod which lets you scale down the whole interface here https://flightsim.to/file/87120/microsoft-flight-simulator-2024-interface-scale-option
    Don't know if this works with current versions though :)
