    I've read some tutorials how to make.

    I can save but not back up I can see 1 folder and 2 separate files by: documenten beamng drive levels.
    And it's not complete when I compare it with the original folder what i miss?

    Gr nikk

    when you are doing a mod it should be in Documents/Beamng.drive/mods/unpacked/mod_name/levels/... or a zip

    But when you use the editor all modified files will be saved in Documents/Beamng.drive/levels/...

    you need to merge them if you modified something, if you did nothing them you can delete this folders

    before merge check files with this http://winmerge.org/?lang=en

    copy the Documents/Beamng.drive/levels/my_map
    to Documents/Beamng.drive/mods/unpacked/mod_name/levels/my_map

    I do not see a folder at doc beam mods.
    It is possible to merge the folder and save it in the zip without having this hassle?
    I've added a file how it comes from doc and steam.

    in the zip you gave me you would have the content of doc over your map

    Here is a "fixed" zip
