You put it in the appropriate track folder and than load it in the garage. --

There's no such thing as a silly question. If you're using win95, go to explorer and copy the .stg file into the folder for the track on which you wish to use it. In N2, the setup will then be available from the setup screen in the game just like the ace, easy, fast setups that come with N2.
: call me silly but how do i use a setup (*.stg) that i've downloaded? : do i type the name in manually or is there another trick? : need help! : randy I am assuming that this is a Papyrus sim.... Copy the *.stg file to the track directory that the setup is for. Then you can select this setup from within the sim when you are in the garage. If it's NASCAR2 as the setup is for Rockingham, copy it into the \Sierra\NASCAR2\tracks\Rocking directory. -- **************************** Michael E.

You copy it under the track file that you want to use it for.
You've got to copy it into the track directory that the setup is for, then start your sim (if necessary, reboot the computer). Once you've loaded the track, go to the garage section, select options, then load. There should be a setup with the name of the file you downloaded to select. Hope this helps!! Rick Martel

I'm having a problem with downloaded setups. The one I choose for qualifying is the same one that I use for the race. However, after qualifying, when I go to the race, the setting has changed back to Easy. I have to check back into setup between qualifying and racing and reset the setup. This has only started happening since I ran the N2 patch. Any solutions, people? Thanks. Roy

Also... don't put them in the Night directory if the setup is for Bristol, C***te, or Richmond.

This has only started happening since I ran the N2 patch. At the upper left corner of the setup screen you'll see two drop-down selections lists labeled "Qualify" and "Race". When you select "Next Session" to go to qualifying, the setup selected in that the Qualify dropdown will be loaded, likewise for the Race session. You can either select a different setup in the dropdown, or you can manually load a setup in the setup screen after you've selected "Next Session".
