Just a *** - I don't want to lose the record of my pb's from the old
(over-patched and very bloated) installation. Which files do I need to
shuffle across to the lean, new installation? For the record, no I didn't
backup as I went along with the previous install, hence the new one - lesson
learned!

Thanks in advance,

Rick.

Your personal bests are stored in your player.ini file in the
players\your__player subdirectory. You can either keep the entire players
directory and copy it over the one in the new installation or....

Alternatively, you can create an account at http://www.racesimcentral.net/
upload the file there as your times improve and restore it if you ever need
it again.

I'd definitely recommend backing up your entire player tree. You can always
download the pretty stuff & tracks again, but your setups are vital.

I accidentally lost mine once.. lesson well learned ;-)

Good point.  Despite the fact they're not that great, the thought of losing
my setups just sent a shiver down my spine ;)
