    Hello

    First of all, thanks for all your hard work and support. Great new update and upcoming content.

    I hope you won't mind me crying for some additional options if possible?

    1. Option to remove cockpit dash. So many users like myself have an external LCD for dash telemetry and in most cases the on screen in-game cockpit dash has no purpose. In fact, it is very distracting.

    2. Seat tilt option per car. For my setup most cars are fine without seat tilt but there are some that must have this option. I can recall a few users may need this option for almost every car.

    3. (This one is not very important but it could be useful) ESC Button assignment for online racing mode. In a single player mode, in edit assignments 'PAUSE' can be assigned to any button box or keyboard in order to exit cockpit and go back to menu options etc... However, as far as I am aware this is not possible when racing online. Instead, you have to hold ESC on your keyboard for 2 second. Not a big deal, but for some of us who prefer using button boxes it would be very much appreciated.

    Once again, great job Sector 3 !

    Remove the cockpit dash was the first thing I wished for when I first jumped into the seat of the DTM 2020 car
    The second thing was "how can I turn this in dash review video mirror thing off because I can only see the top half of it

    Yeah that is pretty much why I added this about the cockpit dash. Not only for DTM 2020 but many other cars too. Its just out of place if not able to remove.

    Yup just allow us to make the display and dash mirrors black would suffice

    I threw out something similar here -

    https://forum.sector3studios.com/in...ptions-wishlist-2020.14133/page-5#post-202860

    TLDR - Hold 'pause' to get back to menu/pits etc.

    On the button theme of things I’d love to be able to assign a button to “ok” through to race

    Eg click my restart button then click the ok button to go thru all the widows to get me on to race start

    I have a button on my wheel mapped to the escape key (mapped through simhub) which does this.

    That is not bad at all. As I mentioned before its not very important feature as you can get around it pretty quickly in a few different ways as suggested.

    The real deal is removing cockpit dash and adding seat tilt. If Sector3 manage to get this one done, it will be a huge thing for most of us RR racers/ fans. Hopefully cockpit dash first as it might be the easier option, I guess.

    That's the one. Especially now with the latest DTM 2020, its completely out of place for LCD screen Z1 DASH or SIMHUB users. Not saying to change anything, just to be able to remove if desired. Porsche GTE is great cuz it doesn't have one :p

    Per car... Never mind.
    To me, it's nothing to adjust the seating position to where I like it. Sorry for misunderstanding.

    Good for you.
    It depends on the setup. At some point in the future your rig setup may change and then you will find additional options as such very handy. You never know.
