    Got it.
    This is your problem very likely:


    It should be:
    your_config.pc
    your_config.png
    info_your_config.json

    What you have:
    info_your_config.pc
    your_config.png
    your_config.json

    Just a little bump but when I try to make .json file, my laptop sees it as "info_myconfig.json.txt", what can I do here? I didn't try it in game, I will try it tomorrow.

    How do I post a configuration of a mod? I made a great Gymkhana config for the Hirochi Prasu but can't share it.

    Make a thread and post it there, however because it is a config of a mod, you should ask permission from the mod creator.

    Sorry, I worded it weird. I know how to make a thread, but I can't find the files for the config itself.

    I've done all of these steps, and it mostly works, but the pictures of the vehicles dont show up. Am I doing anything wrong?

    The tutorial is pretty well written, just take your time to follow it :)

    Maybe post your files so we can help you seeing what's wrong in them?

    Try removing the summer fold that holds the vehicle folder and have the ziped summer fold directly contain the vehicle folder if that makes and sense, but im not sure if that will fix anything.

    For me the website did what it was expected to do, I even just managed to create my first full-fledged configuration for my T-500, thanks to this tutorial: :D

    Now I will try to add some more configs with different trims of the base model... I hope that will work out...

    The tutorial on the first page gave me some pretty good help but if you need some more, I can easily give you some advice through PM to not spam this thread. Or maybe other people want to know too, if that is the case I can write it in here as well.

    This is the furthest I have come with improving the car though, I could not figure out how to put several trims (In my case one with automatic and one with manual transmission) under one car. They did show up but they were both the same car. I think you need to edit the Jbeam but I'm a total beginner with that. If someone could help me with that maybe that would be greatly appreciated! :)
