3/27/2010- Why your setups from 2.0 don't work with 3.0 and 4.0
The reason why your setups are not working is simple: The change in the spoiler and weight distribution has changed the default values in the setup file.
Example is: RF Camber is set at -4.0. After the update the default changed thus when you load your setup it now reads: RF Camber at -5.2.
Reason being for this is because when the weight distribution was moved to allow more rear weight then the default values that the game recognizes as the actual “in-game” angle for camber changes also.
This is also true for some other settings in the garage area that is affected by the spoiler (down force and drag) and weight distribution from front to rear.
All in all, the items that are affected in the garage area may include but not limited to: Ride height, Cambers, Casters, Gears and Track bar.
So, to some this up before I confuse everybody… You don’t have to make new setups. All you have to do is manually plug in your original garage values for your setup.
Example:
RF Camber in version 2.0 was -2.0
After loading same setup in 3.0 or 4.0 then it looks like this:
RF Camber -3.2
Just put RF Camber back to -2.0 to get to your original set
Do this to all garage settings that have changed and you are set.

3/27/10 - What we do and who we are. Reed Setup Team.
It seems today that not many are willing to help fellow sim racers out.
If someone needs a setup in an open server, what they get is usually a junk setup.
Sharing setups, wheel settings, graphics issues and other problems. Reedsetups.com was created to share knowledge and support VHR.
Over the past couple months, We have helped racers tweak their wheels.
When they ask fellow league members for help they get "play around with it, you will find the settings you like".
If you are having problems with your wheel or just want to try the settings that the Reed Setup Team uses for their G25's, ask us and we will go over the settings.
We have helped racers tweak their graphics cards.
There are some settings that you can make to your graphics card that will give you better in game graphics and better frame rates.
The graphics card you are running is probably newer than the rFactor game.
By changing some settings in the graphic control panel you can leave some graphic control up to the card and not the rFactor game.
This will give you better graphics and better frame rate.
Oh yes and we do setups too.
If you are having problems with loose conditions at Bristol, we can help.
If you don't see a setup on the ReedSetups.com exchange and need one, ask us. We won't give you a junk setup. If you are in ReedSetups server we try to send out setups before anyone has a chance to ask. When someone enters the server the team will usually send the setup they are working on.
So just who is Reed Setup Team?
Larry Reed , Lynn Hughes , Tom Splain, Greg Holt and Mike Mahoney are the main contributors and core members of Reed Setup Team.
If you would like to be part of the team or just want to learn more about setup building, contact us.
