    Have packed up a track rfcmp, installs fine, but doesn't show in game. Reason is, it puts all of the MAS files and the mft file into "Launcher" folder instead of "Locations\MyTrackName".

    What in the world am I doing wrong?

    You have every file in just one folder?! Unsure what would be causing this problem unless your mod manager (bin32 folder) is set to the wrong install directory. It's supposed to point to your main rFactor folder (or data folder if not Steam).

    Figured it out. Had to make a new component to get it to use the updated paths. I was trying to update an existing component that probably had the wrong paths.

    Thanks!

    I haven't done any modding through steam yet!!! BUT...How are you installing the rfcmp? from mas2 or from mod manager?...try from mod manager. Is the rfcmp file you made placed in your Locations folder?
    Does your track work in dev mode before you pack into rfcmp?

    Personally this is how I would have my file structure and search paths
    Code:
    SearchPath=.
    SearchPath=BelleIslePark
    SearchPath=BelleIslePark\BelleIslePark
    SearchPath=BelleIslePark\BelleIslePark_GMT
    SearchPath=BelleIslePark\BelleIslePark_Maps
    
    MASFile=COMMONMAPS.MAS
    MASFile=BelleIslePark.MAS
    MASFile=BelleIslePark_GMT.MAS
    MASFile=BelleIslePark_Maps.MAS
    
    Sorry posted after your reply
