Upgrade.ini question

[Kevin Endermann]

Hi guys,

does anybody know if I can assign a different engine to a car via the upgrade.ini?

I downloaded the 75 F1 livery pack by Keith Windsor for the Formula Retro and build myself some engines which should show some differences in performance, but every time I test it, it is still using the standard engine.
I also did another test just increasing the weight of the car via the upgrade.ini and that works.

I set my upgrade file like this for the Ferrari (based on Keith Windsor's 1988 mod:

UpgradeType="Engine Power Changes"
{
UpgradeLevel="Engine Power Change"
{
Description="Engine Power Changes"
HDV=[GENERAL]
HDV=[ENGINE]
HDV=Normal=75_ferrari_engine.ini
HDV=RestrictorPlate=75_ferrari_engine.ini
}

}
Thanks for reading and any help is appreciated =)

Unfortunately I have a feeling the Lifetime numbers are reset with each new session.

Yes, that's what I just said. No possibility to use them in a truly realistic manner (across a weekend or season). But this is a great question whether AMS 2 will do it better!

Sorry Marc, I misread your post, you did already say that.
Yes, I certainly hope these mechanical failures / reliability issues will be an option & more editable in AMS2

hi everybody, new questions is coming!
first: is there the way to assign different upgrade.ini for race and qualifying?
second: may player's car affected by mechanical failure? I guess not... I never had any problem...
