Ok. I guess we're getting really close. From that dropdown menu I can only choose 4 options, as in this image:

Actually I didn't download any MOD i believe. All i did was installing the game, then I downloaded the historic montecarlo and brianza tracks. From the MOD manager, I installed all the components that were indicated as not "installed". Did I do something wrong?

If you wanted to create your own vmod it's really easy these days.
Go to Tools in your RF2 folder, run the mas2 thingy. Click the little box icon that lets you create a new mod. Call it something. Select the track(s) you want, and the car(s) you want. click package. then install. then the mod will show in that list of mods you have to choose from when hosting.
I'm doing this from memory as I don't have my server running at the moment so can't go through step by step to verify everything.
Thanks a lot. Unfortunately this is not staight forward at all. Let's say I'm just getting too old, ok. But I did try to make a custom mod and when launched the dedi server (after selecting my new own mod in the dropdown menu) it launched it but said that the mod is invalid. Where can I find official instructions to understand all this? There must be some ISI tutorial or guide, cant' believe this is left all to the users good will...

As I suspected those are component car files which as you've found out don't work, quite why they're appearing there I suppose is yet another little bug that needs sorting out.

Did you register your vmod or did you hit the 'Skip' button? You have to have a valid registered (v)mod for it to appear in the racelist.

Thanks.
I wasnt sure sure what to do, so I just skipped instead of registering some abortion of MOD to the official world outside
I'll retry later and let you know.
If it's not registered, it won't show on the list. And just because it's registered doesn't mean it's released to the world at large.
You want an ISI tutorial or guide? http://isiforums.net/f/showthread.php/1402-A-packaging-overview-tutorial-video
Ok, i made up a mod and registered it. Into the dedi server windows now it says "Server Updating successfully", and it has a Submit ID long code, like 4847837429xc768fdd6xc7xad8s67.......etc..etc
But still, I can't see my "AAAAAA" server in the server list.... (firewall and ports are open)
I feel I'm really close.

Have you changed the multiplayer.ini ?
Announce Allowed="1" // Whether to announce server to matchmaker
Announce Host="1" // Whether servers will attempt to register with the matchmaking service
_____________________________________________________________________________
Why can't we host with default isi mods/tracks?
I think there's a bug somewhere or they've changed things!!
I'm dang sure I hosted with default isi mods/tracks before..........
That's exactly what I don't understand either...
I'll try and do what you said about the multiplayer.ini. thanks a million, will let you know

Do these numbers match the ones set in your multiplayer.ini file ?
I've done it!!!
My server was in the list and I could access it!! Must have been the multiplayer.ini change.
Thank you all.
The only problem now is that both the processes rf2.exe and the dedi server.exe become HUGE in terms of ram memory and the game is basically stuck, like if I'm running it on a 486 processor. Gotta find out what it is, but at least I got to see my own server.

Our server is running nothing but ISI content with a custom vmod. All the ISI Tintops on the ISI modern tracks.
No problems at all.
Discover the problem. To appear in the server list online. You have to create a MOD of the track and car of their choice. After that the MOD have to register to be able to appear in the list of servers. Here in this video you learn to create. The program is already in the folder rFactor2. No need to put the router open. I hope it has helped many. I was many hours to figure it out. 2 days. Just do everything that's in this video that will appear in the list of servers dedicated server. Thanks and sorry the translation of google.
With the help of this tutorial and with the comments posted here.(Thank you) I successfully created a mod and ran a dedicated server with no problems.
My question is: The lady with the sexy voice said when creating the mod choose the track and the car.Then choose any additional components.Now is it necessary to put in the talent and sound components as she did?Will there be sound and AI talent problems if they are not added?Thank you for any help with this.
