    1) Locate <rFactor2 folder>\Installed\Locations\<New Installed Track>

    2) Open each MAS file using MAS2.exe utility (see <rFactor2 folder>\Support\Tools).
    Once MAS file is loaded, order grid rows by "Type" object. in this way AIW and GDB files will be first in list

    3) Extract (Right click in selected file) all AIWs and GDBs into <rFactor2 folder>\Plugins\TrackMap\Tracks

    I haven't played with it yet but in rF1 you could choose which boxes were visible. I can't imagine that functionality was removed.

    Hey,

    A very nice Plugin here. Just a little thing here. After i Edit the HUD ingame the d3d9.dll shows a Appcrash if you Exit the Game. No problems ingame, you can go on without crashes, but after i exit the game it appears, and just if i Edit the HUD before.
    Also i`ve noticed some type of flickering here and there while driving. Maybe some HUD element got problems while updating? Maybe the driver List? I`ve tried alot different settings but cannot find the one wich caused that Flickering.
    One little thing, is your system x64 or x32?

    EDIT:

    @John

    Thats not true. Its verrry Easy to use and customize. Just open up the config and edit the value for HUD EDIT, then ingame press that keyshortcut and you can easily go left and right to choose each HUD element . You can press enter to enable/disable it or replace it with your mouse. Thats absolutely noobfriendly and far away from difficult.

    The flickeriung happens just sometimes, not on the exact same place. Strange but not too bad.
    I changed the HUD JUST ingame, NO config change. The crash also happens if you just load and exit rfactor2:

    Its up to the .dll. Maybe something about x64 sytems? I dunno, hope for the modaouthor to fix this cause its a really great plugin!

    TrackMap has a bug that causes rFactor2 Crash when you leave Game.
    This is not a big issue, because it happends when you exit from game.
    Anyway I'm working to find and fix this bug.


    Instead I'm interested to know info about crash that happend when you Edit HUD ingame.
    Can you report exact procedure you follow that causes it?

    Flickering.
    I know TrackMap has flickering and at the moment I don't know why. It was present in GID for rFactor1 too.
    It is caused by DirectX State machine status founded by TrackMap. Status is changed by rFActor2 and At the moment I haven't find a good solution.
    Please try to press ALT + SPACE and change "Flickering Mode ". Default is Zero, try to use 2. I'm not sure it will work.


    My system is:
    win7 x64

    Let me know,
    Max.



    Thanks in advance,
    Max.

    FPS drop is normal, Drop value depends on system.

    Try:

    1) to disable Track Map HUD: Press CTRL + SPACE
    2) to disable Map: Press NUMPAD ZERO
    3) Rename d3d9.dll to d3d9.dll_old and see if FPS remain low ( this test will disable HUD and Map )

    let me know FPS in this scenarios
