Does anyone know whether a setup "reset to default" effects saved custom setups?

[steelreserv]

can a custom setup save simply be reloaded after or does it need to be recreated from scratch?
Thanks!

Reset to default only affects the currently active setup. It will only overwrite an existing setup if there is an autosaved setup of the same name already (denoted by a postfixed * in it's name). For any setup you manually saved it won't be overwritten unless you manually choose to.

Thanks Dave. Reiza recommended a full My Doc deletion, so I went that route (3 hours). I'll keep this in mind for the future. I hope you had a good new year.

While what @Dave Stephenson said is correct, what's important to consider is that your saved custom setups will still use old values. So depending on what was changed in a cars physics/tires, reloading your saved setups may lead to undesired car behaviour.

When they recommend this it's because a patch makes changes to things that are saved in your config files, which includes car setups. If extensive changes are made to a car then any setup created before the patch will either not work at all, or will result in handling defects.

So basically, if they recommend deleting the whole folder, do it. If you see a car in the patch notes, don't use any old setups you've saved for it.

@Dave Stephenson: Are you one of the Ams2 developers, or do you just have the same name? I’ve wondered this for a while now.

He's one and the same.
