Erik will likely have had a number of different settings from you, which may mean the game doesn't function properly.

Similarly, if you sync and try running the game with mods installed without a profile, you may find it doesn't work.

I typically copy my UserData folder from other installs of rFactor that I use for various leagues. If you don't have any of those, here's what I would suggest.

1) Create a clean install of rFactor or rFactor Lite (I use rF Lite, does the same job).
2) Run rF Config with your preferred graphical settings.
3) Run rFactor with no mods installed and no sync. It will prompt you to create a profile. Do this.
4) Once it's been accepted, leave the game and sync as usual. Reload the game after the sync and it should work fine.

EDIT: Just had to run it as Admin and it worked

Thanks a ton Brendan!!

No, your job is to submit a request to become a Licensed Member and be accepted to be able to do any further participation here. I can't see how ignoring the Rules will help the status of your team?

(btw this is your 6th notice on becoming a Licensed Member!)

Have a look at the genstrings for the Spyker and you will see there is no such option for its rims. These are the regular OZ rims.

Simon Melhuish · Feb 28, 2012

Then the whole mod is stupid if you have to name the rims "BBS" for them to work in game yet the rims are not BBS

Can you tell i never made the skin?

Joakim Skalstad · Feb 28, 2012

I think they are from Asanti..

Joakim Skalstad · Feb 28, 2012

Anyone here from Torque Freak Racing who could get Simon Roberts to answer the PM i sent him?

Those are OZ rims surely. BBS nearly always have 'paired' spokes.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but extra rim textures are not allowed for this race.

Skin Instructions

It is necessarly to keep the skin files size limited, therefor only body and window files are allowed for your skin. In some of the templates there is an "extra" file for the mirrors and wings, these are the only "extra" files allowed.

Extras also usually include the different rims as I'm sure you know, and looking at the rules in my view I would say that those are included as well ? However not 100% as it's a bit vaguely written, but it would be a shame if the people weren't allowed to have 'customized' rims.

Maybe Remco or Martin can shed some brighter light on this?

Denis Porokhniak · Feb 29, 2012

If that's what necessary to allow the current number of entrants, then so be it.
I would also disallow custom internal widow textures.

George Talbot · Feb 29, 2012

The plan was only files needed for the car to work, we wanted to avoid all teams having helmets, driver suits and extra wheels as it puts increased pressure on all drivers systems and can cause stress to the server.
