Possible to have labels off by default but be able to turn them on?

I'd like to have the labels off by default but be able to turn them on if I need to; is this possible?

So far all I've found is that turning the labels off in the options means they can't be turned on.

There's a keyboard command for it iirc.

If you mean Lshift-F10 I use that one to turn them off and then back on if needed, but it meansthat I have to turn the labels off at the start of every mission.

So just checking I'm not missing something that turns them off by default :-)

I suggest asking this in the Mission Builders forum, under Missions and Campaigns. There may be a scripting solution. It's a good question.

One roundabout way you could try is starting the mission as normal, and then immediately turning off labels. Then save the track. You can then load the track and take control when the labels are off. Unfortunately this only works one mission at a time and will remove randomness from randomized missions.

Hello,

When you open DCS, goto "Options", then "gameplay" here, on the right down side, you have something like that: "use these options for all missions" uncheck this possibilité.

If you have unchecked the labels in the gameplay tab, you can turn them on by going into the controls tab, selecting the aircraft, and either using the keyboard button shown for "All Labels," or by binding it to a joystick or throttle button.
