Hi, I'm converting one of my rFactor 1 mods to rFactor 2, it appears well on the menus and spinner, but when I go race with the car it gives me a "stopped working" message the second I click "RACE" on race direction menu. The contents of "trace.txt" follows as a spoiler: Spoiler: trace contents TRACE LEVEL = 3 0.07s tracelog.cpp 218: Command line: "+path=".."

PS: Is my first mod for rFactor 2, so I don't know much about the differences on rF2 cars structures.
My bet would be that the problem lies in the tyres. Either in the TGM, TBC or HDV (tirebrand line, pointing towards the TBC).
Note the controller ones you've highlighted mean exactly what they say; if they aren't the final lines in the log (as they aren't in yours) they're probably not the issue.
If you are having trouble tracking down the issue you may be able to find a clue in the garage, before you click race. The few times I have had this happen I was able to look in the garage and find the issue. Look for something that doesn't belong. Like an extremely high value for tire pressure, spring rates, ect...
Good news: I solved this problem, and is really an incorrectly-named TGM, all I had to do is rename the "TGM=" to match the TGM file in the "MAIN" folder and the problem is solved. I hope this helps other modders (especially the ones that use the "ZR" as base)...
