    I have everything activated and can get into the game SP and MP but there are no cars or tracks.

    Any Ideas?

    i believe you need to download the other files such as renault 3.5, renault megane, or 1960s mods.

    Did you install the .rfmod files, or did you simply drop them in the Packages folder? I know ... just making sure :p ...

    You need to install them, not just drop them into the folder. They're packages, which need to be unpacked.

    What does that mean? NM - you have to right click and select install from the mod manager window:

    Right click no and select YES.

    Can you point to these? It shows "all cars and mods" as installed but I can't race, etc.

    I am in the same boat but haven't the links to the non torrent files. Is it possible for someone to post links here?

    I have the packages downloaded and realize they need to be extracted/installed into the ...\rFactor2\Packages folder. However, when I right click on the individual packages and "Open with..." "rFactor2 Mod Manager", the mod manager opens up its spreadsheet-looking interface, but it's empty. There are no obvious options available to extract/install.

    Please advise...

    Thanks!

    .rfmod files are archives that can be read and unpacked by the Mod Manager. You do not need to unpack these yourself. Let the software do all the work :) .

    Thanks for the reply... so does that mean that you just copy or move the files from the folder uTorrent placed them into to the rFactor2\Packages folder and that's it?

    I've done that and the Mod Manager only "sees" "All Tracks & Cars" version 1.0. All options for this line are grayed out.

    The rfmod files need to be placed in the Packages folder, yes. If the Mod Manager was already running, you can refresh the list.

    All Cars and Tracks has no options. It's a vital component (or mod :) ?) and cannot be removed.

    Okay, all three Renault mod files and the 1960s World Class Racing mod files are in the ...rFactor2\Packages folder and the Mod Manager still doesn't see them. I've rebooted just to make sure something wasn't being seen due to that. I've also deleted and recopied the files in the above folder and still no joy.

    On speculation, I was able to enter the Dev mode and can make laps in the rTrainer around the oval, so the rFactor "engine" seems to be working.

    Any other suggestions??

    Thank you for your help so far.

    Hi noClue,

    You first snap should not be under C:\rfactor2 but put into C:\Users\Swifty\Documents\rFactor2....You have to look for rfactor2 in your "My Documents" folder.
    Unless it's ME doing it wrong?

    I moved them to a folder such as you suggested (c:\Documents and Settings\myname\My Documents\rFactor2) and the Mod Manager still sees nothing in the folder.

    It seems to me it shouldn't matter where one puts the files so long as one remembers where and points the Mod Manager there.

    It's got me totally baffled...:confused:
