When this is done, is it considered stealing from that person.
What is the proper procedure for doing this if you post a better
setup using some or most of someone's original setup. OR should
this just not be done. IF I were to post a modified setup,I don't want
to offend anyone. Just trying to find out what's right and what's wrong.

I saw a post in a forum(here or elsewhere) that covered this subject,but I
can not find it.

Thanks

Hi sMondo.

The simplest way to keep everyone happy with such a move is to simply credit your sources.

If you borrow someones set-up as a basis for your own, then just say that that's what you did and what you changed (the 'Why' of things is useful too).

Usually people are flattered when other drivers use their settings suites and only get in a huff if it's uncredited.

That's exactly what I plan to do when I post my "final" Ford GT '05 setup. It's become a bit of an obsession with me, and I've been spending a lot of time on it. I'm using rk's excellent suspension settings as the basis, and meticulously fine-tuning them, using Midfield ("Mid-Field"...) as my test track.

I'm sure rk spent about as much time on his setup as we normally do on any car. I'm going way beyond that, but starting with his settings gave me a big head start. Of course I should credit him for that.
 
Thanks guys.
I'm not what I would call a serious Tuner. I test others settings
and if I can't drive with them, I try to make an adjustment to them that suits
my driving style. A minor adjustment I would not think to post, but a few major changes I would consider posting as I feel that it might help others.

I just wanted to do it right. So thanks again.
