[ F.A.Q. ]
◦Can I message you over Xbox live?
No and please no more blind friend requests, just post here. Someone will help you I’m sure.
◦Will you answer a question that has already been answered?
No. Any questions that need a repeated answer will be ignored.
◦Can you tune a car for me?
No. What would be the point of all this?
◦Will this get me to the top of the leaderboards?
No. This spreadsheet is a time saving tool which does most of the math for you, gives you a base set up and has several modifying options. It is not a miracle. However it is up to you to get yourself up to the leaderboards.
Most of the hot lappers of the community have this misconception that using a tuning calculator is weak. Forza is a simulator and this calculator will always feature real physics not feel. The rest is up to you, the user.
◦I can't believe this isn't error free. I’m getting #NAME? Errors all over the place. Come on i really want to use this. What gives?
What gives is that #NAME? Appears when excel 97-2003 can't read excel 2007 new formula statements.
In this case your spreadsheet gets an error when it encounters the MROUND function.
If i find out you don't have the analysis toolpak add-in enabled like i said countless of times before, I’m going to be a little disappointed.

http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/excel/HP052091851033.aspx ◦Can I donate?
Yes you can. It wasn't easy making this as this was more than a year's worth of work and research. So if you guys find it in your heart and want to, go ahead. Any money received will be used to create an iPhone app + iPad app. You can also purchase a vinyl in my storefront.

◦Hi FEUERDOG. I’ve used your calculators before and this one looks different and spits out different numbers, why?
