14. Press ‘Exit’

Please note the ‘clamp 0 200′ number in the first line relates to the speed of the car to make the fans turn at the maximum speed. If the speed is output in MPH then you will get max fan speed at 200MPH. If it’s measured in ‘km/h’ which is 1.6x MPH then the clamp would be set to 0 320. Some games output speed in m/s so the clamp would be 0 90.
If you do change the Clamp numbers, please also change the first two ‘Map’ numbers to match. Do not alter the ‘63 84′ or any other rules or the fans wont work.

15. Press ‘Save as Default’ or select ‘Save as Global’ so you can quickly add the settings to other games.
