    I would like to add new teams with drivers to Tatuus mod. I create VEH and RCD files and put them to MAS file and drop this MAS file to Tatuus folder but in game new teams don't appear at all... what I did wrong? :(

    try and download this (dont know if its the correct tatuus?):
    https://www.racedepartment.com/downloads/skins-for-tatuus-usf-17.47674/
    and extract the zip and open one of the mas files in mas utility to see what files is needed.

    normally it needs following files

    alt.dss
    alt_region.dds
    alt.json
    alt.veh
    alt-iconxxxxxx.png

    But "alt" should be changed to a unique name. and correct this in the veh file.
    Maybe an upgrade file?

    I dont know how much you can leave out. But veh file is essential.
    And it need to be correct for that exact car.

    Rcd file is not needed.

    thanks. I downloaded it but there is only skins that replace defualt skins. there is no VEH files. I don't want only replace skins, I would like to add new teams with my fantasy AI drivers.
    I created VEH files by my own but my fictional teams still don't appear

    im not at my home pc. but you could go to the vehicles installed folder something like ...rfactor2/installed/vehicles/Tatuus/

    and then open the upgrade file with the mas utility and export a veh file from that as a template to how it should be.
    but its important that its the same vehicle as you want to use.

    no you just need to make a mas file.
    But you find the veh "template" in the upgrade from the vehicle.

    and if you want your own sub category, like the year etc.
    add it in the veh file:
    Category="Tatuus, Tatuus MSV F3-016, 2022"

    and your own AI filter:
    Classes="Tatuus MSV F3-016, F3_016_2022"

    example

    Don't you think your fantasy drivers will become boring after a while? I mean how often can you see that Miss September is in first followed by Miss June & Miss March?

    I think he points out that it will be boring to see hamilton win every time... or what ever AI you choose to be best.

    okay then...but after all, it's possible to create several AI drivers with roughly the same "speed" parameters and then there will be no predictable results. every of them can fight for win.
    As I said in other topic I don't like rF2 AI much. It's too limited and weird but it's still playable.
    I think the best offline experience with AI racing I had in GTR2.
