War Thunder Q

Hi guys, my father-in-law is visiting and loves the Vive especially flight sims. He wants a WW2 type plane, so I downloaded War Thunder which looks good and is free

I'm trying to get used to it so I can show him what to do. My only problem is I have to turn my head all the way like I'm looking over my left shoulder just to see the speed and engine throttle etc that'd normally be on the top left of the screen (in 2d mode).

Is there a way of making this more central/ easier to see? Should not have to turn over left shoulder to see basic info!

(is IL2 much better?)
