    Hi,
    I see the amount of fuel(laps) on the power train page in the setup and then when I go back to it again later it isn't there.
    I don't think I am going crazy, but maybe!!
    Anybody run into this, is it supposed to be like that, I tried searching but didn't find anything.
    I swear I have seen it went back to change it and nowhere to be found in the setup.
    Thanks for any help.
    Steve

    Is this where you're looking? Can you screenshot if yours has gone missing? I'm curious :)

    Yes that's it. Under power train, I don't know about the engine & electronics part, not at my computer right now and not remembering.

    Ok, makes sense then - stock cars you start with full fuel, no option. This UI doesn't draw (some) sections/options that can't be changed.

    @SteveMack I'm pretty sure that it is caused by a Typo in the HDV File.
    If you want, open a private Conversation with me.

    When it is there, do your setup and save. ;) ( 1 each for prac qual and race )
    Save setup for every car & track and backup your userdata/player/settings regularly.
    I even save combos by race distance so you always have correct fuel.
    Make sure to do fuel run for all combos you use and find optimum level.
    Use setup notes to add relevant info.
    Like tyre and fuel X usage, etc. ...easy to forget.

    Not sure how much clearer it needs to be.

    But sure, modify the car to allow lower starting fuel. I love homogeneity.

    This is a reading-optional forum.

    I could have been just confusing myself, for instance the 2018 stock cars have the fuel(laps) option enabled where 2018X is disabled, my thinking was all the cars had that option available that's what I think the problem may have been, my mind playing tricks on me, but I will now be on the lookout for it just in case my mind is not playing tricks on me. If it happens I will definitely revisit my post.
    Thanks for replying.
