Can't Edit Gear Ratios in Garage

[Chunky Moe]

*Using DX11 Beta
Started quick race, CLIO's as cars, Indy Oval as track.
Car redlining/toping out even in turns.
Wanted to make taller gears (less accel, higher top speed)
Went into practice session (2 Hours) and to Garage.
I can see the gear ratios, however there is no way to modify them.
How do you alter gear ratios?
I was able to alter things like camber, PSI, toe, etc. on suspension, but could not alter gear ratios.

Please help.

I believe that in the MAS file editor you can... but I am not sure exactly how with these cars

Just open the main files in the given gMotor 2 Mas File Editor in the main menu and see if you can add it in

There's no way to do it from in-game?

If it's not in the garage, then it has been disabled on purpose as the real car doesn't have the option to adjust the gears I presume.

If there are not options in the garage then you would have to do it manually.

I MISS LIVE FOR SPEED - You could do anything to any car on that SIM....rfactor2 is so limited with so many damn things to fix it makes me want to sell my damn setup and just start real racing - fed up with this bs

I have to agree with you on some of this.
Even "Sim lites" like Forza and Race 07 have the ability to modify the entire car as you see fit without having to use external hacks or fixes to make them work.
I can't understand how something that is supposed to have something as realistic as rubber physics for the tires can't have something as simple as normal garage settings.

It is realistic and it has the normal garage settings, hence it doesn't have gear ratios for this car. Which do you want to play, a realistic sim or a fantasy car setup sim?

95% of what I do in this game is practicing and messing around - I'd rather have more room to adjust whatever I see fit than be so limited due to what they call real life...In real life people can adjust these things way more....tire pressures for instance...some cars you can't go lower and others you can by a couple psi up or down...but nothing really that involving.

Too limited for what they give us. Depressing actually.

In real life there are several limits as well, at least in F1 Pirelli is very strict on what minimum PSI tire pressures can be at.

Those are artifical limits created by the F1 sanctioning body to keep the racing field "fair".
What does that have to do with allowing me to change the gear ratios on a CLIO street racecar?
You want fairness, that's fine, but how about giving us the option of altering the ratios of the AI if I change mine, so that way all the cars are still on a "level playing field".
For sanctioned races from the likes of NASCAR or F1 I can see there being limits, but when everything is artifically limited for no reason, I don't see the point.
For leaderboards or official e-game stuff, again I agree limits are fine, but when I am farting around on the track in single player against AI I don't see why these limits are enforced.

hi guys, my point is that the + - increaser%decreaser are visible like it would be possible to change but it doesnt. Unchangable parameters are without + - on the both sides of the adjusting bar. But what if they are there and you still cannot adjust them. Example: P3 Ligier Nissan. All the AI-s have different gear ratios obviously. It must be a bug.
