    I think the mistake is when naming the json with his name and not with a number, it works for me with the number 3 rcd nombre.jpg

    The problem is the VEH Link in the RCD file. Change it to "MAXERU2C0BAAAC.VEH" and it will work. After doing ths, the car was displayed in the selection menue.
    NOTE: This issue caused by S397 updates. After the last update some VEH filenames were changed. To find out the right file names you have to open the car-upgrade.mas from the last update folder (e.g. "...rfactor2/installed/vehicles/Mercedes...blabla/2.51/car-upgrade.mas). There you will find the VEH names.

    Just for those who don´t understand why a livery works and others don´t...... ;)

    I will say it this way:
    "In each RCD file there is this line: VehFile = ALLIGNTONB13FC4F2.VEH
    The series of letters and numbers before the .VEH is corresponding to a specific car. This series of letters and numbers change on each car every time rFactor2 receive an update.
    So this is why some works and others don´t ;)
    Where how do we get this series of letters and numbers?
    Easy, just run the game, choose a car, click on TUNING. Once the car appear click on CREATE.
    Exit the game and go to : steamapps\common\rFactor 2\UserData\player\Settings\Car Model Folder.
    And in it a folder have been created with numbers and letters series. Add this series with at the end of the series .VEH and you´re done.
