Seeing how someone's doing a 2001 conversion, I decided to start finishing off my F1 1999 conversion. The only issue I have is that Sauber is failing to load both drivers. Jean Alesi works, but Pedro Diniz isn't showing up in the list. I ran a trace and I've looked through the Log and this is all I can find on Sauber12. (Diniz is #12) Code: 5.01s setup.cpp 2172: Duplicate vehfile detected & deleted from VehMan lists: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\rFactor 2\Installed\Vehicles\F1 1999 Sauber\0.801\SAUBER_12.VEH I'm thinking it's something to do with the "Duplicate vehfile" line, but I've checked it all out and nothing is a duplicate and there doesn't seem to be anything wrong with how the file is coded. But if the VEH file is failing to load, that's what makes the drivers show up in the list, so that's the issue here. Anybody have any ideas how I can fix this?

Seems like somewhere in your install, another mod perhaps, there's already a .veh file with that same name. When you install the 99 mod rF2 deletes the file and so as far as the game is concerned the Alesi car is the only one. Try changing the file names to something more specific to your mod. Maybe using the year or the model designation of the Sauber from that year. TK
Interesting. That never occurred to me, I'll try renaming it and see what happens. Edit: It worked! Wow! Can't believe it was something that simple. Thanks a lot man, you saved my conversion. It must've been clashing with the 2013 mod since Sauber were numbers 11 and 12 then also.
