Description

The new MP version has at least two literal strings, "No RC Receiver" and "Bad GPS Health" that appear in the artificial horizon display. Pardon my certitude but, as a pilot, this is terrible human factors design. The attempt to include ICAS-like functionality is good, but it should never be overlaid on the PFD. The bottom portion is already being used for status messages and these messages should be displayed there. I would also request that these messages be configurable options on the Planner setup page.

Research direction

Start by locating the literal strings "No RC Receiver" and "Bad GPS Health" and the artificial-horizon/status-message rendering described in the issue. Done means these messages no longer overlay the PFD, appear in the bottom status area, and are configurable from the Planner setup page.
