    I found this yesterday and it works great for Dirt Rally. Take your time read all info. in the link and like always use at your own risk!

    1. The download file is in the above link and uzip and place in your steam DR location file. Follow the instructions and don't forget to change app location to where your game is located.

    2. The only other little quirk I found is any adjustments you make to the xyz axis and you find you need to change, hit the restore button first. What happens I believe is if you add .20 to the z axis and find you moved it too far and then lower to .10 it takes your .20 as the new starting point and instead of subtracting the.10, it then adds the .10 to the .20 and you end up with + .30 instead.

    @Hobbs77 Actually, as I saw, update should come today around 3 PM GMT :thumbs

    Few months ago I was messing around with the tool you mentioned in your post, but eventually I gave up because it was too messy, first until I've found out how it really works (as your point 2.) and later for almost every car I needed to do corrections.

    prodigy .... Sorry for wasting everyones time with this and thanks for your updates. And as far as it being messy....once I figured out what was happening with the mutiple adjustments, I was able to find a setup that I was happy with. Then I just fine tuned each car from the in game FOV settings options. I'm glad it only took me about an hour to find my setting! It really made all the difference being able to set it up closer to my liking.

    Seat and fov adjustments are 2 of the most important features for any racing game and should be implemented right from the start! The effects it has on the overall presentation and playabilty of the game are huge imo.

    It's regrettable than the studio of this game was not permit the player to tune Field Of View and seat .
