Is there a link to a bunch of little tricks like that?

Thanks again!
No problem, glad I could help. I got that change from the "Sliding_Stations_Panel_1.01.rar" from http://u-boot.realsimulation.com/ .

I have since changed to the 6 big dial mod with the smaller console but I still make sure to have it slide out of sight when not using it. I'm not sure if the side shortcuts are included with that mod to slide out, but it's simple to just change that entry to the "menu_1024_768.ini" file as well.
That website is great but how the heck do you know what mods you want??? There are so many with no description!
I know what you mean about no descriptions LOL.

I usually go there and slash and burn grabbing anything sounding like what I'm looking for. Then I look it all over after downloading and delete what I didn't want or have duplicates of.

Alot of times I'll just grab sections of the readme outlining changes to a text file like the one I gave you and just save that to my SH3 changes notepad file so I can manually change the menu_1024_768.ini,en_menu.txt file myself. If a mod I'm going to install includes a new menu_1024_768.ini or any other text file, using it to overwrite my existing one will erase any changes I've already made so I have to write in any changes manually. :rotfl:

For instance, when I installed the 6 dial simfeeling mod it used the same line numbers in the menu_1024_768.ini as the slideout TDC dials used so I had to adjust the numbering of the TDC dials to be AFTER the simfeeling ones.
