How do you add an add on track in rFactor?
About a month ago I asked here in this newsgroup which sims had
Infineon (Sears Point) raceway and someone recommended rFactor. As a newbie to auto sims I hadn't heard of it and checked out the demo and have been playing it for a month. It has only two tracks in demo, neither is Infineon,but that was enough to keep me occupied. Last night I registered/purchased and immediately saw more tracks but still no Infineon. With another question to the RSC forum someone pointed me to a place for add ons and I went there and downloaded it. But now I can't find instructions telling me what to do with the files inside the downloaded RAR. Can someone please explain or point me to an explanation about how to install the add ons in rFactor? Thanks, Samson |

I just simply copy and paste to the Locations folder. You can open the RAR
folder in one window and the rFactor folder in another. If you open the GameData folder under rFactor you will see the Locations folder. Drag the track folder you downloaded to the locations folder.

RAR files are compressed files. Unzip them with "Winrar".

That works about 95% of the time but if it doesn't (i.e. you don't see
the install correctly) you need to go look at the directory tree and be sure all is well. A couple mods needed to be unzipped into the "\rFactor" folder, and even the "\Gamedata" folder to wwork right. Ususally the readme in the archieve tells you what to do.

If it contains a folder called 'SomeLocation" (not literally; this will be something like the name of the track you downloaded) then extract it to your <wherever-you-installed-rfactor>\rfactor\GameData\Locations\ folder. If it contains a folder literally called 'GaneData', then extract it to your ...\rfactor\ folder. |

In the case of option 2, would that not destroy all other tracks you have
installed? -Larry "Dave Weaver" > wrote in message ... > Open up the .rar file (you'll need a program like WinRar to do this). > > If it contains a folder called 'SomeLocation" (not literally; this > will be something like the name of the track you downloaded) then > extract it to your > <wherever-you-installed-rfactor>\rfactor\GameData\Locations\ folder. > > If it contains a folder literally called 'GaneData', then extract it > to your ...\rfactor\ folder. > > |

Reasonable conclusion but it'll bury down the directory tree and add the directory to the end of the tree. The only way it will overwrite is if there's already files in the same destination directory (and then it will prompt you if you wish to do so). Cheers, Rod. |
