    I'm having a problem with the Chaparral/Chapel. I got a new system, so that meant re-creating all my profiles. I use a special controller profile for the Chapel to activate the wing via the clutch pedal. I can't seem to get it to activate any more. I've edited the profile so that both front & rear flaps use the same command, I've cleared the clutch completely since the car is a semi-automatic prior to assigning the clutch pedal to the flap. But it just sits there, no movement, no dashboard light, Has anyone else tried the White Winged Wonder since versions 1126 or 1128 or rF2?
    MORE:
    Partially solved it. I was testing at a non-DRS track. After changing to Silverstone I could activate the Wing whenever & wherever I wanted. Looks like S397 has added something that disables DRS at NON DRS tracks.

    I made a quick patch that clones the fields into 1966FT and 1967FT. The only differences are that the car preview images don't work and that tyre change time is only a couple of seconds. It's a small workaroud for singleplayer racing purposes. The AI takes new tyres every pit stop but is capable of adjusting fuel strategy; this makes it so the AI can splash for fuel without having to sit for two and a half minutes in the pit lane.

    The unmodified cars are still accessible too, so you don't have to uninstall this to swap back.

    I suspect this new feature will break the Chapel (Chaparral) wing control on historic tracks if the track does not have a DRS zone declared. Has anybody tested?

    If I wanted to be able to use DRS at any point on the track, driver's discretion, for use with the Chappel. How would I edit those lines Emery posted above? Remembering that BOTH FRONT & REAR flaps are activated with the Chappel/Chaparral.
    @Alex Sawczuk
    Would this be a possible UI addition in the future to turn off all DRS rules at any track?

    A while back I modded a 397 HUD to include old-style gauges. There have been a couple of requests for it recently, so here it is.
    There are little red marks on the tachometer. They don't move. If they're not at a correct shift point for whatever car you want to drive, you can either ignore them, or use them as reference only (ie, just before or after the marker if they're close to the right range).
    The gear number indicator does turn red for the shift point, like they do in other HUDs.

    I believe the photoshop file is included in the mas file, and can be accessed once installed. Feel free to mod.

    Install the HUD by extracting it to your Packages directory, and installing from the in-game content menu. Then select it in the HUD display section.

    That's very cool. I didn't know I needed it until now.
