Assuming you're using JSGME, just extract the mod to your "MODS" folder, then go into it, find the mod, go into it's folder, and then delete any folders and files you don't want. The only thing to keep, if you want just the dials, is the "Data\Menu\Skins\American\Gui\Layout" folders, and the two files that say "Dials" in it.

If you're not using JSGME, select just those two files from the mod in your extracting program, and have it extract just them to your SH4 install, in the folder setup I noted above.

You may want to rename the stock files before using that method, in case you ever want to go back to them.

Nope. All you need are those two files.

BTW, I forgot about this. There is a mod of just the dials available here on Subsim. I think it's in the SH4 Graphics section.

EDIT: There's three different dial mods, but they're all for the 1.4 version. If you're using 1.5, they changed the folder structure to what I told you before. If you're using 1.4, you can use one of these straight away.

Excellent...I have some new shiny readable dials. Many thanks.

Only strange thing is the compass does not have a brass surround, the other two do, as does the second view of the compass when you click it

No biggy though
