How do you send a car setup to someone who is also racing same track

[Petro1head]

I want to know how I can share my car setup with a pal who I am racing with while in the game?

Online?

While you are on the same server with your pal:

- make sure you have loaded the setup you want to send
- click on his name. (If you don’t select a name: you’ll send your setup to everybody on the server: that’s what we do in RD club races. )
- go to “voting”
- “send setup”
- your send setup will be your pal’s “recieved” folder.

If I remember correctly: By default the recieved folder is cleaned up after disconnecting from the server. So your pal needs to load the setup and save it if he wants to keep it.
There is an option in the player.json to keep these recieved setups. (Edit the player.json with care )

I have no 'received' folder anywhere.
Has this been removed in an update?

If not can someone tell me what the file location should be?

Thanks.

In your player.json
"Keep Received Setups#":"0=do not accept, 1=keep until next track, 2=keep until exit, 3=keep forever"

I don't believe a "received" folder is created until a setup is sent to that driver plus make sure "3" is set. Note: You could manually create a received folder if the game for whatever reason doesn't create one.

received folder location:
rFactor 2/ UserData/ player/ Settings/received

Cheers Ace King.
You are correct. Received folder appeared once I had been sent a setup. Handily, 3 was my default setting in the json file.

Thanks again.
