Hey, please post in plain-text. Yeah, I've seen a bit of this. I SUSPECT that what is happening is if you join someone elses race, it is somehow using whatever settings they used to host and copying it into your .PLR file.

What I find strange is that even though I have edited genf1car.gen to remove the driver arms from in-cockpit view, I still have arms in f1rst-2 hosted online races! Very weird.

Almost every feature that SHOULD be in Gamespy is in F1rst2. you can lock out F1 cars from the mods,,,can't do that in Gamespy. you can password a race...can't do that in Gamespy etc etc. dave henrie

Again last night I noticed some changes to my PLR file after an online race. I had recon and formation laps off, but after the online race, I checked and saw they were re-enabled. FWIW, the race was no-aids allowed, but didn't change my preferred auto-clutch and low TC settings, but it did change the race condition settings. Clearly a bug.
