I don't think that's possible.

The Shift+Z information is just "situational awareness", and should be hardcoded into the simulator, not allowing you to change it in any way. Remember, you have to rely on your gauges in the real world!

Just keep one eye on it, and the other eye on the VSI gauge.   ;)

If you know your current airspeed and altitude and have a visual of what you are doing with respect to your altitude, you should be able to guesstimate your rate of descent with the A/C you are in and have a good indication of VSI movement anyway.....just make sure that you have your stall speed noted for your approach and you really don't need a VSI in front of you......? ???
