8 - In root of the game "GTR2_PBB" create a new text file and name it "SDNDTG" with CAPS LOCK. Change its extension: .DYN (always in CAPS) ("YES" to the question)
(cheating : this unlock all tracks & cars)

- Check that "Data Rate" is "Cable/DSL"

===================EXIT GAME ====================

The game is properly patched to connect to servers.
It remains to download mods and circuits used by these servers, here we take those of PBBs.

=============== Get Mods & Tracks ===============

14 - create an account: http://www.pilsbierbude.de/index.php?lang=en

15 - Keep your username and pass, it will be needed for updater software.

16 - Unrar "Bierbuden_autoupdate.rar" given in same folder (GTR2_PATCH)

17 - Run the "Bierbbuden_Autoupdate_WebInst.exe"

Check the box AND /!STOP! CHECK ONLY the box : "Pilsbierbude" and "Runtime"
(all other *bierbude are for GTL, rFactor and Race07 so you don't need this)

Nota : It will download files given, but lattest release so it's better to use it. The others files given are here only if "WebInst" don't work or for "manual" install.

18 - change the path by clicking on "BROWSE", put it in a folder like : X:GTR2_PATCHPBB
"OK" -> then "next" -> "install"

19 - The program will download and install what is needed (Python and wxPython), do "next" leaving everything as default every time.
(Python is just a programming language such as C + +)
then close the text file and then "exit"

20 - Go to the installation folder, my ex "GTR2_PATCHPBB" "Bierbuden" was created:
run "pilsbierbude_en.pyw" ("PYW" extension for "python windows")

21 - You have to fill :

- Username: your username used on the PBB website
- Password: your password pass on the PBB website
- Game folder : the folder of your game "GTR2_PBB"

- ARCHIVE FOLDER : any folder for archives BUT create it on an other hard drive, not the C: !! with at least 30GB free. You can create a folder named "GTR2_PBB_archives" in 'PBB" folder for example. But it is up to you. If you use and ext hard drive, it have to be "plugged" when making update.

- The updater will scan your game to find mods and track already installed, then it will download AND install all mods and track AUTOMATICALLY. So you can go to SLEEP !
(at this time 20Go to download)

- You can close it when you want ("Quit") it will be resumed.

- At this step you will have a round blue shortcut "pilsbierbude" (with a P), you have to launch it every time before going online with GTR2, to get last update. (2 or 3 files every weeks are added)
22 - The updater will ask often for a "download Ticker", it's only a number, it is on the homepage of PBB website www.pilsbierbude.de you will see at the BOTTOM LEFT while logged. You just have to retype it in the small window. (It avoids bot).

- This "updater" works same way as Torrent, so you have to allow your firewall requests. For more bandwidth, it is better to have small green arrow at the bottom of the window. I think you are aware of this. (you can set your personnal p2p config in options)
