I bought this amazing game on Monday and havn`t stopped playing it.
It`s a top rated game for teh x-box ( not pc :-(    )
Basicly i backed it up on the HardDrive ( no i don`t own pirated games or
copy games i back them up, i have a nice shelf full of my original games and
an empty bank balance to prove it ) as i don`t like using the disc
themselfs, plus i like doing a bit of texture tweaking etc ( pc/x-box ).

I did however notice a large colection of .ini files, everything from A-i to
car.ini to well bascily everything.. i couldn`t help but mess around with my
Ford Focus ini, in the Car Dynamics folder i edited the FordRS.ini to the
following...

                   Orig     /  Modified

MaxBoost=0.900  /  1.500
MaxRevs=7200.000 / 9000.000
audioRevLimit=7000.000 / 9000.000
Mass=1278 / 1000
revLimit=6500.000  /  8500.000

It all work, even changing the way the rev`s are displayed on the TV, bigger
rev counter, very nice.... i could do about 110+mph in 3rd gear !!
There were other settings for gear ratios, wheel size, brake balance,
springs ..etc etc.. you name it and it was there !!!
I know this is all pointless unless you have a modied x-box, but ti`s an
interesting find !!!

Oh before you all try this, my settings are crap, the car was two light and
reved to high, it was like a 2 stage turbo, peaky and undrivable... lol....
much like some of the tunning i have had done to my own cars !!

How do you get your XBox hooked with your PC.  I have a home network with
the XBox hooked to it for XBox live.

By definition, no. You would need a modded XBox to do this hack, and by
definition, Modded XBoxes can't play on live.

You need a FTP program..... basicly you set the IP on your xbox, and share
the same ip on your pc, then you can veiw the stuff on the xbox hdd..

You could use a separate FTP program or use your Network Places to create a
link to the Xbox.  ftp:\\ip.address-of.your.modded-xbox

I guess the XBox has to be modded to do this right?

Yeah, but not with the mod switched on....unless you know some deep dark
secret...?

Of course with it turned off!  That's the only secret to it (that and
locking the HD).

Hm, FTP is very insecure; hopefully there is a firewall on your
ADSL/cable connection. Before you know it, Xbox machines start to get
hacked!

That's just common sense.  I don't know of anyone that has their Xbox
directly on the Internet for FTP.   Most set them up as a private FTP server
for their home LANs.   Great for uploading media files, pictures, backups,
etc.
