    The Formula Pro ai cars are using DRS everywhere. This is ruining my experience of racing ai. Is it possible to force them to not use DRS or only in DRS zones? It's a fun car but this breaks it for me.

    If nothing has changed in the Games Code, it depends on if the used Track has properly defined DRS Zones.

    What you can try to disable DRS on such Tracks, is to build a Series Mod (rfmod) and put the following lines into it's rfm:

    RearFlapZone
    {
    MinimumCrossings=9999
    TimeThreshold=1.0
    DetectionLapDist=1
    ActivationLapDist=2
    DeactivationLapDist=3
    }
    Or maybe only the Line
    RearFlapZoneSessions=1
    works too, where 1 means, that DRS is only allowed at Test Session.

    Or you maybe can create an Update for the used Car, that sets all Flap Entriy Values to 0.
    But all Things have to be tested, of course.

    I can make it a bit more exactlier, after i have made it for the S397 Monza Track.
    To set RearFlapZoneSessions to 1, that should allow the Use of DRS in Test Sessions only, seems not to work.
    But setting it to -1 works.
    So i did use the GDB Entries

    RearFlapZoneSessions=-1
    RearFlapZone
    {
    MinimumCrossings=99999
    TimeThreshold=0.00000001
    DetectionLapDist=2755
    ActivationLapDist=3061
    DeactivationLapDist=3061.1
    }

    to deactivate it.

    I can create them (no Donation necessary).
    I'll do it for the BMW 1 as first, that you can test it.
    Just to be sure, you mean this Car: BMW M4 Class 1 right?

    Here is the Modification, that deactivates the Use of DRS as default for the Player and the AI.
    Please try it out and report if it works properly.

    I heard 'something' when entering the car prior to turning on the electrics and starting the engine. I don't know if I'd call it gravel sounding though. Certainly the moment I fired up the engine, whatever the noise was became completely overwhelmed by the M4's engine notes.

    you have to launch a race with no AI, engine OFF, if you don't hear a noisy gravel or carcass sound, go to the doctor fast.
    And nothing is overhelmed, I'm happy to state that I have very good ears, not like everybody....
