With the indecent haste to embrace v3, I didn't get the chance to do any practice until an hour before Thursday's race.
That meant I didn't know how fast I had to go or what car I needed to be in, since v3 turned everything on its head and made the Falcon Sprint a desireable motor.
So what times am I aiming for on this one?

Actually Clive the Sprint was by far the slowest of the 3 Falcon choices available and the only one on par with the stangs from my brief testing (one flying lap in each). This was why I chose to drive it. The Alfa and Escort are a reasonable match with the Escort having a slight upper hand for pace, but the Alfa less likely to kill you when driving on the edge. Both are very good fun

Problem now reverting to the simbin lobby after last night's race using the pils lobby. Tried to register a dozen times using different usernames and email addresses but each time got the dreaded failed to connect message after half a minute or so Any ideas? Edit: Some lateral thinking solved this, but for anyone struggling here's how: Downloaded this and pointed it towards my PnG installation... http://www.nogripracing.com/details.php?filenr=22308Re-registered with another new username and voila registration was successful. A real pita though.

Well the Sprint was supposed to be the slowest Falcon! The rules of this season are that I had the choice of the NTK Mustang or the Sprint. In v2.1 the Sprint was an awful heap that ate is tyres like they were melting in the sun! As far as I was concerned it was no match for the Mustang. They seem to have to have turned that on its head.

Go with your heart Clive! Do you want to drive a famous, top-tunes brittish lawnmover or do you prefer Italian fullbread ? Stig

I had problem, copying or typing in gtr2 etc doesn't seem to work. Copied Lobby file from my Spare V3, original SimBin Lobby, and hey presto all works straight into the lobby without even logging on.
Different problem, can anyone point me to where I can find how to reprogram my G25 buttons to set rev limiter raise/lower seats, set chat buttons? GTR2 handbook method doesn't work for me. All driving controls etc are all at my normal setting, modified my old V2.1 file for standalone V3 - no CD etc all works OK. Prefer not to play around with prl file again.

Clive you keep moaning about the mustang v falcon but do you need to be reminded John destroyed us all driving one? I hesitate to say its the driver not the machine on this occasion, sorry but with the disclaimer that I've not driven the new mustang myself yet! Bill, you can edit your buttons or seat etc all in the normal way via 'controls' as you would with normal gtr2, I did the same. Click each heading like game, extras etc Any reason why it's 'just' the escort and Alfa? Or is it always a 2 car format series? Both good cars so no complaint, just intrigued.

Mark it doesn't work the way I remember it, ie click on say "Ignition" and then press the "i" on keyboard, to "Chat" click on appropriate message press wheel button to program that message, etc. The mouse left or right had button have no effect when clicking onto predesignated function I want to program with a button of my choice, infact if I try and program a non designated button I get JOY1B11, which then moves to the next empty function I select. Hope you can understand what I'm trying to say.

Bill, you could copy and replace just the "Controls" part of your old PnG 2.1 plr file into your V3 plr file (assuming you still have 2.1 installed). If not you could use the info from from your GTR2 or even GTL plr file. Just remember to only copy the part of your plr down to where the ffb settings start or you'll miss out on all the luvverly V3 ffb. Make a backup of your plr first Edit: Tony beat me to it
