My 2 week project F3.5

[jimortality]

Now that club racing has stopped for the holidays, I've decided to spend the next 2 weeks in between work and family driving the F3.5 2014. I realise quite a few of you know this car inside out but I find it a handful to drive so I've set myself a challenge to try and tame it. I will continue with Silverstone and my best time as of yesterday was a slow 1.49.233. My aim is to get this down to 1.44 or 1.45 and I'll be happy. All hints tips and anything else welcome cheers

He means in the tuning menu. You need to deliberately go and select High Downforce package. I believe by default it's set to Medium, but I could be speaking out of my rear trumpet. But it's worth a look anyway.

Where do we find this Tuning menu (b982)? Thanks.

When you are in the car selection menu. When you select a car there is a tuning option down on the left.

It' isn't hard to find... Select a car and click on "tuning".

In the tuning menu at the right:

- Force setup: Forces the the AI the to use the same upgrades as you.
- Upgrade options: in this case a visor or not
- and custom skin selector: click here

Tip: While skinning with photoshop or gimp and having rF2 in windowed mode:
- Load the skin in rF2. (I start with an alt.dds with the wireframe)
- Make changes to the skin
- Save and overwrite the alt.dds skin in the loose skin director
- Click on reload in rF2
- And preview the result in rF2.
