WinZip/Winrar??

[gc24]

Since I have used up my 30 day free trial period, and I don't want to buy WinZip, how can I D/L stuff and open it with WinZip? This is for Windows 10 PC.

7-Zip is free software and has been around for 21 years!
Works on Windows 7, 8 or 10. Great utility and i highly recommend.

Thanks, but what's the path on this? I extracted it to Locations and it doesn't show up in the Inventory list.

If it's a RFCMP file then you should place it in your Packages directory then go into your rF2 launcher and click on the Box icon and look for your track , now click on it to highlight then at the bottom of your Launcher click on the "Install" button.

No, that's not it.I know how to do that. It's a track zip file.

It's probably not a track for rF2 than.
They only come as RFCMP files.
Otherwise you can't install it for the normal version of rF2

If your track is in a ZIP file containing the RFCMP then simply "right-click" on the zipped file and a menu will appear then place your cursor on the 7-Zip and choose "Extract files" which will then allow you to choose the "Location" where you want to extract the file to. So, since this Zipped container needs to be a RFCMP file you would choose to extract to your rFactor 2/Packages then follow my previous post.

If your 7-Zip doesn't contain a RFCMP file then it's not useable for rF2 as Richard states!

A zip file can contain any type of file, including .rfcmp files.

The point Richard and i are making it needs to be a RFCMP file for it to install and function in rF2.

If gc24 has various loose track files that are zipped up instead of one RFCMP file then it won't install into rF2.

 

[gc24]

Yes, my bad. It was Spielberg V.2.0. Not made for RF2. Thanks for the input.

An rfcmp (rfactor component) file can be more than just a track or vehicle. It can be a Showroom, HUD, UI...............the list goes on

 

[gc24]

Right, I know.Thanks.
