    Firstly, make sure that you are always saving your changes in world editor. Secondly (which might be your main problem), you might not be transferring your changes to the actual map. As always, make sure that the map you're making changes to is unpacked. Then, go to appdata/local/beamng.drive/0.24/levels, this folder includes your changes.

    Basically you want to transfer the folder which has the name of your map (from the levels folder) into your unpacked map folder, however make sure that you transfer the folder into unpacked/your_map/levels, and not just in the your_map folder. If windows bugs you about the same folder name and replacing, just make sure to accept and replace everything. That should permanently save your changes meaning that if you pack your level, the changes are present. If you have any questions, feel free to ask

    I don't exactly have a clue, it's been a few months since I've last tried map editing. It could be because of the new update, however I'll check when I have the time
