1. Are any of the files written in Russian?
If so, I cannot help you as I cannot read Russian, and in software engineering, translation is too inaccurate to even attempt.

2. Did the car come as a bunch of files, or was it packaged as an executable (.exe)?

3. See if you can't give me the names of what you thing might be configuration files.
These types of files might be XML, .csv, .ini; if you can open it with a text editor or Excell, chances are it's a config file.

Going through the config files mysesf I found some under physics\engine labeled losts and power, as well as Clutch Losts and Power .csv files that all had RPM labeling in them, but decoding them looks about as fun as pulling teeth. I suppose if this is REALLY that important to you, I can mess around and see what I can do. I also found some under transmission, but they look like they are for automatic transmission only.

The car that I downloaded is Ford SVT Focus [2.2.8].rar - from this thread - citycardriving.com/forum?func=view&catid=7&id=3186 .
Almost all files are in english. I have successfully installed the car into the game.

2. It's a rar - I just copied certain files and folders to certain location, and edited player cars xml. THe car shows in game and I can drive it.

3. The files that you can edit are ini, csv, layout. I've been a modder in different games for a while, so I have some knowledge about modyfing. I tried to achieve what I wanted by myself, but couldn't find the right file for that.

In /data/physics/cars/focussvt/p_player_setup.ini I've found this:

AutoTransmissionName="Transmission\focussvt"
AutoTransmission_1to2= 14;0; 25;0.5; 50;1
AutoTransmission_2to3= 40;0; 45;0.5; 90;1
AutoTransmission_3to4= 68;0; 68;0.5; 130;1
AutoTransmission_2to1= 8;0; 12;0.5; 29;0.9; 45;1
AutoTransmission_3to2= 40;0; 42;0.4; 52;0.7; 68;0.9; 75;1
AutoTransmission_4to3= 58;0; 60;0.5; 74;0.7; 98;0.85; 120;1

I thought that this is what I'll need - cause look like it shows the speeds between gears, but it's for automatic mode.. and I want to stick to H-shifting. Can't think of anything else.. I have no idea which values I have to edit.

Thanks in advance.

Close, very close.

You see, you won't ever see this:

AutoTransmission_1to2= 14;0; 25;0.5; 50;1
AutoTransmission_2to3= 40;0; 45;0.5; 90;1
AutoTransmission_3to4= 68;0; 68;0.5; 130;1
AutoTransmission_2to1= 8;0; 12;0.5; 29;0.9; 45;1
AutoTransmission_3to2= 40;0; 42;0.4; 52;0.7; 68;0.9; 75;1
AutoTransmission_4to3= 58;0; 60;0.5; 74;0.7; 98;0.85; 120;1

in the configuration that you want to edit. See, what's happening here is it's telling the computer where to shift. In Manual Transmission, YOU decide where to shift, so you wont' ever see this.

What you want to edit is something like this:

[transmission]
m_reverseGearRatio_manual=3.51
ManualTransmissionEfficiency=0.88
manual_transmission=true
gearsRatio_manual=4.05;2.34;1.395;1;0.849

m_clutchSlipRPM=1000
m_downshiftRPM=3500
m_upshiftRPM=6500
m_clutchDelayTime=0

m_primaryTransmissionRatio_manual=5.125
DefaultDriveBridgeTorqueRatio=0;1

This is where you will find the desired options you want. REMEMBER! BACK UP YOUR FILES BEFORE EVEN THINKING about touching them!

Sorry for the late response, I have spend all my time and energy hacking the Dev Console on Rage. (just unlocking the cvars/mod tools, nothing illegal though; just letting you SOPA supporters know

)
