Ok so I would make tunes and write down the settings going into each menu and copying. Suspension copy those, transmission copy those, etc. I found that if you go to settings sheet it shows everything on one page which is much faster to copy since you can see it all at once. The problem is the top speed for transmission is totally different than what I actually set it at. For example my lotus Elise 111 rm I made it says top speed 260 in the spared sheet while in reality I set it for 162. It says 162 when you click transmission and all the other gears are the same. Why does the settings sheet show a different top speed than what it truly is? It's also not the other top speed that you can't change because that's 188. This has happened with tons of different cars too.
 
I've seen that too. On my FGT's it shows 400 as top speed for them! I figured it was some conversion glitch from mph to km/hr so I did a quick little calculation and wala, that's it. Your actual setting is showing you results in mph, while the spread sheet has it converted into km/hr.

Yeah! When i test tuning setups, I always use km/h because it is a much finer tune.

That had got to be the stupidest thing ever. Why would anyone at pd think that was a good idea. I have it set to mph. Everything is mph. Yet suddenly they feel the spread sheet should be kph. So dumb.
 
What about downforce always resettling to default when changing sheets?

the settings sheet is always messed for me. Everything resets to default when I choose a new one and I have to than select all the parts back on and start the tune fresh again. Sometimes however it doesn't do that and keeps exactly what the first sheet was tune and parts installed on all them. It's super annoying since I do not know if I have to redo an entire tune just to change it for a slightly different pp or if I have to redo it all for drift and all the settings are already stuck for racing. I wish when you clicked a new sheet it asked do you want to start from stock or copy settings from the previous sheet.

My Ferrari F1's always revert back to 150 in the rear only when I open the setting sheet and then go out to adjust it.

Because KM/H is used by the world and makes more sense.

That's hardly a great argument 'it makes more sense'. How? It's just two ways of expressing the same thing, speed. And the UK, US and many other large countries use miles instead of km so metric speed measurement is hardly universal.

I do think it's a slight oversight that the setting sheets show up in kph even if you selected mph in the settings. I doubt it'll be patched though.
