Ok, I'm been seeing some requests for help on editing a car's dynamics, so I'm going to attempt to explain some of these for everyone. This will help some people and hopefully help me in turn since I don't understand ALL of them. I will only comment on the ones I know of, so here goes...

There you have it, that's all I could muster from my brain... it's late so I'm going to bed! Anyone feel free to correct any mistakes you see or just chime in and add a definition. I think I feel DOS4GW coming, I gotta go!

Thank you so much ZPaul2Fresh8.

I've started on that list so many times but all the testing and rebooting over and over again is a whole days work.

I'll see if I can locate the old lists and fill in whatever's missing, although I should say that you covered all fields necessary for tweaking.

Definatly!! thanks! i finally got it ripped to the HD, the stupid PGR 2 editor keeps telling me to READ THE README, so i will just edit it all manauly..

Thanks!!

whats up Zpaul2fresh8  didnt expect to see another cz28 member here in the xbox modding scene.  have you managed to get a 4th gen camaro into the game?  thats what i'd like to do, make my car into the game. ground effects and all, just like my car, if its possible it would probably take a very long time.  thats my goal, but i havent started it yet.
