    Seriously what was that for ,no help ,and you made me look at a stupid youtube clip and an advertisement :confused: Ah humour :rolleyes:

    Firstly , make sure you return the backup if you have done a reformat . Important , also if you need to reactivate . (Also don't backup the one you've changed like I did :eek: )

    Secondly , if you lose your back up you can change the properties of the .rFactor folder from read only , start the game and it will restore the original . ( Not sure if the properties revert to read only , but check )

    Thirdly , Tim has warned that doing this 'may' affect thing's in the future .

    Fourthly , I use this to change my name http://www.gamefront.com/files/24098005/rFactor2ProfileChanger_exe , Changing your name doesn't affect updates so far .

    Fifthly , cant think of one right now but probly will :D oh ! I did , there is a name and nickname entry in the .plr file ( I dont think they do anything for MP ), maybe change those also to be double sure .

    Sixthly , yes I thought of another one , the main and most 'Important' one . You can email Tim and he 'might' do it legit from there end . He would prefer this , "As long as he thinks its harmless"

    PS @ Tim , I made a comment in a similar thread that I might not be able to remember what was in my original .NAME file (Forgetting your name seem's strange :eek: ). Originally in the first builds the game would only display real names , so I used my nickname I used at the time as my real name . I was just a bit confused what combination of caps and such i'd used back then is all , nothing dodgy . :)

    Yo Tim Weatgley, a question:

    In rF2 main screen, under player options i see my actual profile with nickname i use. My question is: we will (or will we) ever be able to chande this profile, allowing having 2 or plr files in userdata folder?

    ps: if something like this is supposed to happen it solves my problem of keeping 2 different plr with different seat pitches orientation depending on type of car i´m driving instead keep moving files across folders to achieve my goal.
