Allright gang she is finally downloaded and installed!
I must admit, when the install process began and I got a message it was " repairing" my Net Framework 4, then had to reboot the pc when it completed that, I got a little nervous. I have always kept my Win 7 64 bit updated through windows update to include all net framework versions - at least all the ones that windows update offered.

All seems well though - the sim launched and took me to the main menu screen just fine. I took a quick look at some of the menu items, especially the controllers and realism menus, and it certainly can seem quite daunting. Looks like as has been mentioned I got some real work ahead of me. As I continue to improve on the pain level in my recovery I will get more into it. I think I will start in the meantime with some reading up of the faq here and some of the threads here to see what knowledge I can gain in the meantime...

Now, it is my understanding that since this is through Steam, my install after completed will already have all the updates that have been released and will be current?

I want to thank y'all again for all the help and feedback so far- it has certainly been a big help to me so far!
