DSC Sport is Freaky

After driving the T files for a while I have realized I need less body roll and less front end bounce. I had not driven the car for a bit until a drive this morning. After some time away the car felt dramatically too soft and bouncy, in Carrera T file sport mode. I still don't have a darn PC laptop to change files. I want to try the GT3 tour files. Tom, is it ill advised to send the whole box back to you to change files in house and return? In terms of delicacy of the board and box? I know I referenced in a pervious post having my local shop do this, but they're somewhat far from me and I have not had the chance or need to take the car in for other work.

no PC laptop. Anyone in the Bay Area have experience loading new SW for DSC that can help?!

(this is how I do it - all the way back to the v1 days - I have a MacBook Air with VMWare s/w and Windows which I boot into in order to run the DSC s/w)
lmk...

I had instructions for this way back when I think in the 997 GT3 forum or somewhere like that...
- install parallels or VMWare Fusion (maybe even virtual box - although support for the USB - CP210x driver bridge can be tricky)
- install a version of Windows onto parallels/fusion
- install DSC s/w
- install USB-CP210x bridge driver
- ensure that USB "connections" are re-directed to Windows (from parallels/fusion)
- connect your DSC and away you go!

You're talking to somebody who barely pulled off his OS Catalina update. I'll be lucky to make the file changes once the whole thing is up and connected. I think a simpler bet would be to buy a cheap PC lapper than try to get a dual boot going. Maybe I will do that.

fair enough! - although its not that hard to do this - and probably a little cheaper than buying a PC ... good luck!

I had the stock setup for my 991.1 4S Cab (with PDCC) DSC V3 so far. Basically had the Sport mode on 98% of the time. Only used normal mode when driving on very bumpy roads with my wife and kids onboard. Sport was nice (much better than with stock controller) but after a while I thought it could be a bit firmer / less body roll. Over the weekend I uploaded the GT2/GT3RS files and love it so far. Normal mode more usable on a daily basis and Sport definitely firmer. Did not have the chance to drive at high speed (100mph +) yet but so far so good. Thanks for the suggestion Tom!
