BPR Mod - Setups and Clutch Questions

Wow, another impressive effort! Two quick questions: 1) are the default set-ups developed? Are there downloadable set-ups for each car that work well? 2) For those of without clutches who have to use "Amateur" mode in GTR2002, what is the equivalent setting here? Either there is a huge clutch bite on downshift, or the brake balance is shifted so far that the car pirouettes from that :) Looks like lots of fun. Thanks, Marc -- **************************************************************************** Marc Collins [email hidden] Your mouse has moved. Windows must be restarted for the change to take effect.

I don't know the reasoning or the cure, but the BPR mod was designed with this clutch feel to it. I can state humbly for the record that I have maybe only once or twice managed to downshift into 2nd gear without spinning. You have to blip the throttle(quick stab on the gas pedal) either just as you shift or slightly before. I can get down through the higher gears, but when tight turns require slow speeds...I'm doomed. Unfortunately, I don't have the time for this single mod to get the rythym figured out. I appreciate their effort, it, so far, is an above average piece of work, but DANG is it difficult to downshift... dave(clunky)henrie

If you open the specific vehicle .hdv file that you are driving with a text editor and go down to the line that reads SemiAutomatic=0 change the value to 1 and the equivalent "Amateur" mode from GTR2002 is enabled.

that totally takes away from the fun BPR offers. Just blip on downshift and you'll be fine "Marc Collins" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:VEjua.4660$J%[email hidden]...
