Hey gang,
I am just starting to get back into GPL. Never really delved to much into
developing setups in my prior time with it, have started tinkering around
tonight. I know this is probably a dumb question or one that has been
covered many times, but I gotta ask anyways - I was adjusting on a Monza
setup I have saved under it's own filename. I make some adjustments, go out
and test them, go pack into the garage, and even if I change setups when I
load the one I am adjusting again, it still shows where I made the
adjustments. I didn't save it, so I would think when I reload the setup it
should restore back to what it was before I started adjusting. At least,
this is the way I have always done my Papyrus Nascar setups.
Do any changes I make to a custom setup remain permanent?

in GPL, you must SAVE YOUR SETUPS under a different name before you modify them

uhhh, save them under a different name AFTER you modify them

Basically, whenever you hit the green "OK" button, GPL saves the
setup. If you have a setup you want to keep, save it to a different
name, then modify it.

I have a setup in each track called trackname_test. So for instance
Monza has Monza_test, Spa has Spa_test etc, you get the idea. Then
whenever I want to make changes to a current setup I save it as my
trackname_test setup first and then make changes to that. This
guarantees that if I don't like what I've done then I don't have to
remember what I've changed to get it back to how it was because the
original setup is still there under another name. If, however I do like
what I've done to the xxx_test setup then I resave it under the original
name - you know the one it was called before I copied it to xxx_test.
This way my good setups stay the same unless I find a better setup
whilst testing to replace them with.

That helps, thanks guys.
I guess N2 and N3 spoiled me by being able to call up the original setup
before changes even after running it on the track.
