Re: GPL setup question

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

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? -- Don Burnette Dburn in N3 and Legends

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. -- Peter Ives - (AKA Ivington) No person's opinions can be said to be more correct than another's, because each is the sole judge of his or her own experience.

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. Rafe Mc On Thu, 06 Apr 2000 01:21:53 GMT, "Don Burnette" <[email hidden]> wrote:

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. -- Don Burnette Dburn in N3 and Legends "Peter Ives" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:$[email hidden]... > In article <[email hidden]>, john moore <[email hidden]> > writes > >uhhh, save them under a different name AFTER you modify them > >: ) > > > > > >Rikanthrax wrote: > > > >> in GPL, you must SAVE YOUR SETUPS under a different name before > >you modify them > > > > I have a setup in each track called trackname_test.
