    I would like to implement in the Dallara F308/309, the option to close side pod entry/exit for aero purposes...like the real deal.

    I know we've some Special parameters* in the [BODYAERO] section...but, for what I know, there is just the BrakeDuctSpecial with closing/opening parameters.

    Is there someway I can use to simulate the Sidepod occlusion?

    Tnx in advance...

    * I don't know if those special parameters are actually working...maybe I would like to know if they're.

    RadiatorRange and the other Radiator... parameters would be what you're looking for ;)

    Thanks man! ;)

    Just tried this solution using special parameters and it works fine;

    RadiatorRange=(0.0, 30.0, 3) // Side Pod Blanking Levels
    RadiatorSpecial=(0,"","Open",)
    RadiatorSpecial=(1,"30","% closed",)
    RadiatorSpecial=(2,"60","% closed",)
    RadiatorSetting=0 // Side Pod standard setting
    RadiatorDrag=(0.000320) // Effect of radiator setting on drag
    RadiatorLift=(0.003800) // Effect of radiator setting on lift
