If I'm running external instruments, can I hide the ones on the screen? I'd really just want the top of the dash, A-pillars, hood, etc.

Maybe Options -> View -> Clocks mode = off ?

edit: If you mean hide them from the camera, then you have to set the custom camera accordingly (X-pos,Y,Z,Pitch,FOV).

Would not have thought that instruments would be called "clocks". It still leaves the area around the gauges, which now looks odd.

Not familiar with the custom camera view stuff, but I'll have to investigate that. Thanks.
