Want to change your rider height?

[dking]

I found that if you are in your garage and you hit "start" a box comes up allowing you to change your rider height!

why would you want to do that?

I was wondering if/how you could do that, not that I need to but at least its not locked in.

Does rider height even affect the handling of the bike in the game or is the option simply there for visual effect?

I assume a taller rider would be heavier...?

...and there's the issue of wind resistance, hence I was wondering. I'm 6'7" (2m) in real life but the game only goes up to 6'4". I have it set on that, but if the game does take height into consideration regarding handling, I may want to lose a few inches.

To change your rider size....

I don't think there is any performance effect by changing your height....seems to be visual....too bad there is no weight function....

This has happened a lot today with other users as well. I think they mean to hit the quote button.

I think the height might effect how soon you have to shift your weight around chicanes and such...meaning the smaller you are the later you can let off the throttle and hit your line.

Yes I am aware, which is why I posted it fully 40 minutes before you did.

I guess PD didn't want to model child's sized gear.
