Don remember Atlanta?  You didn't beat me then.  How does 1640 balance the car?  Explain how it does.

    I only repeated what I was told by Don in an email sent to me.  I wish you guys would use the correct term, I never said its a CHEAT, I said its CHEAP.

        KK, First off its not cheap to run any weight the game allows you to. I think its matter of fact smart to
      try and balance your car.  For you to call anyone thats its cheap to run a legal weight is BS..  
       ill change all my setups to 1950 Forward weight so you can get around me.. lol

If I can find the replay I will show you, you will need 2002 installed though.

      Sorry, I don't see flipping a car as having more grip. But then again you may not be explaining
  it correctly. If the grip was stronger I suppose he could roll the car over in the turn but it would
  still need to hit a curb or another car. If the grip is increased the drag co-efficient would also
  probably go up thus negating the increased traction. Now if you are telling me that Don has the
  ability to unpack encrypted files alter the needed values, balance off the checksums that would be
  affected, re-encrypt and repack the files you must know him better than I.
      Yes more grip could be an advantage but many other factors need to be taken into account.
  I'm sorry but this hacking or cheating would be very sophisticated and I don't know many that would
  be capable of accomplishing it.
      I think you are reaching for straws. I'm not saying it couldn't be done but to accuse Don is really
  a stretch.
      I may be a ding dong but your theories are wing ding.

    LOL Man you read too into things.  You believe this game actually affects my life, you must be spying on me or something.  I play this game to have fun, when people manipulate it to something else, that's when I get upset.  Makes sense?  As far as the flips, you obviously don't get it.  If he flipped what does that suggest?  More grip ding dong.  Tell me having more grip isn't an advantage.

    I still have 2002 installed. Let me know.

Dont ask me.. Ask Papyrus they wrote the phyiscs code.. I just do what i have to do to make my car
wear the right side tires evenly...

Don

Only makes since based on momentum, actual RF weights at speeds, etc.    hello

Last year I was in a league race ( Nascar 2002) and flipped my car. i think it was only a once roll over. After that flip I was alot faster than before it. Why? The roof was lowered in the roll over. i had a lot less drag and the car ran like a charm. The damage modeling leaves a lot to be desired. The track was loudon. Wish I had the replay.

What's wrong with adapting the settings in the game to suit your controller?
We all (should) know that all controllers are NOT alike...

Never argue with an idiot.  He brings you down to his level, then beats you
with experience...

    Kevin, some controllers have very little pedal movement and there isn't
much of a margin of error. Some of the expensive wheels have 3 or 4 times
the pedal throw of the cheaper wheels.
    Its easier to be more precise with a TSW or ECCI. I'm not sure of BRD or
some of the other Euro brands and the pedals by the individual in NZ as they
also look pretty good. But the majority don't have those pedals.
