Yes it is in the "Car Instruments" page. Just de-activated it. Sorry for the confusion.
I also use ver. 1.60 of CSP. Anything higher and I get all kinds of problems.
Perhaps my solution is not universal.
Thanks Jack.
I was about to edit my previous reply because yesterday, for some reason, disabling
car instruments finally worked for every CSP release greater than 0.1.46 which I've tested.
By testing, I was able to see that the one of the main differences between 0.1.46 and 0.1.52 (and onwards) was the addition of the key-binding fields for car instruments in
Patch tab in the controls menu under Assetto Corsa Settings:
though I haven't mentioned so far that, in my case, the game didn't exclusively crash upon exit of replay mode, but also exiting some sessions, especially online ones.
Then, just for the record: A few days ago, I was using 0.1.73 despite not solving the issue (at the time I thought that disabling
car instruments wouldn't work) and while I was practicing offline (trackday mode), 20 min. in, the game suddenly froze for around 10 seconds! Then it resumed with my car stopped hundreds of meters ahead... oh and the game crashed upon exit. At that point I immediately switched back to the 0.1.46 release...
Let's just hope that disabling also prevents something like this from happening again.
