Did I say you were being entitled? no. I said "people" but the attitude remains the same throughout the community.
I believe ticking the check box in the content manager will add rain physics to a car in the game, but there is a far greater range of possibility when you look at the Trello which contains the code that can be added to the ini files to alter the physics... Look and read each section under physics extensions to see how it can be used.

Ohhh! Mate, why are so white? On my PC it's more contrasty...
I wish people would stop saying extended physics is only rain physics. It's like 10 things, if not more (camber changes, tyre heating, cooling, tyre wear, tyre falloff, chassis flex (sort of),....). This are the lut files from a vrc car (picture 1 - 148 in total), and in picture 2 is a normal car from rss with no extended physics (46 lut files in total). So over 100 aditional files just for rain?
Anyway the PM3D cars are around 2 seconds a lap faster. What I did was make a copy of both PM3D cars with car tuner, added all the lut files from VRC (cause I don't know which are for tyres) and replaced the tyres with VRC ones, and added extended-2 to car.ini. I also edited the minimum ride height of the Volvo and the Primera from 0.0045 to 0.0055 (as in VRC cars), and adjusted ride heights accordingly (don't know which is more correct, so I went with VRC). And that is it, all the cars now run within a second of each other.
Meanwhile this is truly BTCC as I remember it from the 90s
Sorry... just delete this.

well all you have to do is take a look in your recycle bin. everytime you load a car with extended physics checked, it creates a temporary data file that it uses. once you finish with that car, the temporary data file goes into the recycle bin. This is my recycle bin from today. I am through arguing as you seem stuck in your ways without knowing or even trying what I have suggested.
Not wanting to fuel any more arguments but I have never seen a temporary data.acd in my recycle bin after using extended physics so no idea what setting you have ticked for yours to do that. altho in all fairness the only time i've ticked the extended physics box is with the VRC Touring cars but I've driven them all quite a lot over the last day or so and not had any mystery ACD files in my bin 😁
It is the box on the 'Drive' tab - 'Use extended physics (experimental)'. As far as I can tell, this only does something where the car DOES NOT have extended physics built in natively (which the VRC ERC cars do). If you check this box, CM/CSP injects some basic code into a temporary data.acd for that session only and deletes it on completion. That gives you the basics of CSP extended physics (wet grip, tyre heating [I think]), but not to the same extent where it has been specifically built in as part of the mod (where each element is customised to the particular car).
