User manual

The last filter that is used is if you have the right to use the component.
VRC Pro always checks in the VRC database if a particular component can be used or not. Only the components
that can be used are displayed in the list, also the components that are not yet purchased, these components
have a shopping cart icon.
Set-up parameters
Each component has its own set of setup parameters which can be changed. Some components, like the
(public) stock chassis, have very few setup options, the branded and RS components however have all the
options. Read more about this in the Setup section.
VRC Pro always saves the complete car including the components that were used to build the car, like body,
motor, tires etc. Of each component the setup adjustment is also saved. So Save car and Load car means
saving or loading the complete car including the components and how they are adjusted. The file also contains
information what track was loaded at the time this setup was saved, assuming that the setup was optimized
for that track.
The current setup, including changes made at the track during the pit stop, will remain active until you change
it or load another car, also when you stop playing and come back to play a day or week later. When you make
changes to your setup or changing to another car we advise to save the car setup.
The car setup files are saved to folder CarSetup in your individual folder at \My documents\Virtual RC
Pro\CarSetups). Setup files can be uploaded to your profile page and shared with other VRC Pro racers.
However, because of the structure of VRC Pro the setup can only be loaded by another member if he has the
same components. Car setups of public and common cars and components can always be shared.
Building your car and changing its setup is done at the Workbench section of VRC PRO. There are 4 areas:
- Car components
- Customize car
- Load/Save car
- Car display
Car components:
In this section you can build a new car from components, or change components on an existing car.
To build a new car you always start by selecting a new chassis. The type of chassis decides which components
can be selected for that car. Obviously you don’t want to put a nitro engine in an electric chassis. Each
component group has its own button. By clicking on the component button you open the selection. On the top
you see which brands are available, and per brand you will have 1 or more components to choose from.
Most generic components are included with your subscription and you can select them as you like. Branded
and RS components have to be purchased with virtual cash. This will be indicated when you select the
component. Once purchased they can be used at any time as long as you have an active, all-inclusive
membership.
To build a car all critical components must be selected. Until all components are selected the component
buttons remain orange. When building the car is completed all the buttons are white and the car is now ready
to use. The first thing you should do is to save the car so you don’t have to build it again next time. (see Save
car section)
