egrossman, im in the same boat. Don't have a PC and don't feel like sorting all that out, on top of learning the DSC software file changes. Luckily a local member has informed me of a great local mechanic who will hopefully sort out some of my projects with me. Hopefully you can find someone to toggle files for you as well.

It’s not too evil if you have a smidge of Windows experience. You have two options for your Mac:
1. Apple’s Bootcamp (not ideal and massive overkill for this purpose
2. Virtualization: either VMware’s Fusion or Parallels similar option will work, but check out Virtualbox for a more cost effective route.

You can freely download Windows from Microsoft and the install process is fairly straight forward/automated with any of the above options.

Since this is all you’ll likely use it for, the virtualization option is much simpler/efficient.

You won’t need to be using the software too often, but the minimal effort above is worth it if you want to be able to make changes.

Might you haven’t already installed, be sure to leave the USB cable plugged in when you insert the DSC into its home as removing it to get to the port would be much more annoying than dealing with the Windows side of this.

Feel free to DM if you want more assistance.

The GT3 Touring file made 8.5 hours of seat time yesterday on a significant variety of road types and quality absolutely perfect. The 3RS file with suspension in Sport was fantastic at LRP.

I don’t personally find the difference as eye openingly noticeable on the track as I do on bumpy public roads, but there’s no question for me that it’s been a substantial help on track too. LRP is a very active track (very short and no real breaks between corners) and the car just feels more composed. No idea if it was the DSC controller or my friend who I was doing lead/follow with all day, but I shaved 1.5” off my PB from last season on my first day back out this year and definitely think the controller had a lot to do with it.

I wouldn't mind so much if I didn't want to experiment. I will probably just bite the bullet and deal with the apple/windows issue or borrow a laptop from someone.

CT_Peter completely agree. That’s their hourly rate. I would be fine with $60 a pop

So I have decided if wearing a helmet as my local club requires, I will no longer go out without a harness, connected to either a half cage or bar, along with a hans or hybrid system to keep the neck movement limited.

At first, I was skeptical, but after driving it about 40 miles, I can honestly say the car’s suspension is significantly more compliant over uneven pavement. Pretty noticeable difference, with what appears to be no downside. For the money, it is a surprisingly good value for the impact it has on the ride. I wasn’t looking for anything softer, but the module doesn’t make the car floaty at all.
