    Is there a path to set a file or something? I made a vmod and a dedicated server and others coundnt download it on server list in rf2. is there a way to fix this? i tried ca 10 times an created a new vmod, install in an extern folder> then i copy it in rf2 an run. no problems. server run. Ports are set (simulation and HTTP). Should i set something into Core folder?

    yes *.rfmod is in packages. Manifests and /Installed/rfm folder is also a file of my mod. is this only with GETMOD possible? or is there a other solution?

    Why MAS-file from rfm-folder?? You have nothing to do there!
    How big (in kb) is your vmod (rfmod file format)?

    Jo, that´s normal....you´re shure you´ve checked no components that your friends don´t own/have installed?

    rfmod should always download automatically for everyone. Are you sure you didn't include the components (car+track) inside rfmod? You should normally only reference the components in rfmod, not make them part of rfmod.

    GetMod links are only needed for modded content that don't already have one. Though if your friends already have the mod, it shouldn't matter.

    It's generally not a good idea to make rfmods with that many cars and tracks. Then you basically rely on your friends having pre-downloaded all 8 cars and 12 tracks, because if they miss just one (and that track doesn't come with getmod URL), then it will throw the "package not found" error. In the old rF2 interface you could actually see which cars/tracks you were missing, the new interface is poor in that it doesn't show the missing component. So the more components you have, the more likely it will cause problems.

    Can you join the server?
    If so, I would try uninstalling and deleting the vmod from packages folder (move it to desktop).
    Then I would try to enter the server to see if it downloads and installs the vmod. If it does the problem is likely not to be the vmod not downloading.
    I think that your problem is that other content is missing for the other drivers and it cannot install the vmod.

    Its only possible when i send him my package file. All Contents are installed. I tryed some vmods what i created but its never downloadable in the rfactor game browser. One time i had a hosting provider and a rfactor 2 server and there was no problem with downloading inGame. I used there the same Files (only older). I think my Rfactor 2 isnt enough adjusted for hosting. What exactly is ORIGIN? ( scratch, conversion , composite)?
