How do you guys edit setups to change the parameters outside the range
defined by the game. Many setups have 0.5" bump ***s eventhough you can
not set them less than 1.0"?

10x,

Seems like the shipped setups were made with a beta-version of the game that
allowed these settings. It's not possible with the resale version.

Those setups were done by the beta testers.  The minimum bump ***
was increased to 1" by Mr. Kaemmer for the released game as it was
felt it was not right.  This per an interview with Doug Arnao by Randy
McGruder (sp).  As I recall,  Doug recommended increasing the minimum
to 1.5"....

That is not entirely true.  I have made quite a few setup changes to my
Ferrari setup for Kyalami.  The default setting was .5.  If I change it
either way it immediately goes to 1.0 and will not let me go back to 0.5.
My version is definetely the retail and not the beta, unless the copy I
bought on the first day available was some sort of beta.

I thing you may have missed the point.

The setups were done by the beta team on the beta version before
the limit of 1.0 was put in the game.  The game will stop you from
setting a bump *** of below 1" but setups which contain that lower
setting from the beta will still remain loadable.  Try to change the value
and the game checks the number, realises it is too low and sets it to
the minimum.

I think the limit is placed in the setup screen code but is not checked
when the setups are loaded.  By not attempting to edit the bump ***s
you're probably not allowing the program flow to go past the bounding
check.

It does if you select the Default setup again.

% How do you guys edit setups to change the parameters outside the range

% not set them less than 1.0"?

My question is, does using 0.5" bump ***s cause an unfair advantage?
If so, I would like Papyrus to address this in an upcoming patch, as
I've noticed many of the hot-lap setups are mostly "low-riders".
