It could be many things!
State which mod you try to get to run?
Likely you did not install in the right folder \Gamedata\Teams\XXX

Did you check the "Class" line (SIM_GTC65, SIM_GTC78 etc..) in the car file? You may have to change the class for them to show up in game.

fiat 850
ford capri turbo

i have everything under steam archive i dont know if that has anything to do with it

First do not use the GTL install under Steam. Keep that install as a 'clean install.
Copy the Steam GTL folder to a temp position.
Delete the content of the Steam gtl folder and sub folders.
On the steam menu right click GT legends and select priorities and Verify Local files.
It will then download GTL again and you will now have a clean unmodified install.
If somethings goes wrong you got the copy you made earlier.
Be aware that you sometimes have to repeat the Verify files.

GT Legends are not a Steam game as such and you do not need Steam to run to use it.
Make a folder on a drive something like D;\games\GTL
Then copy the entire Steam GT legends into that.
In that new folder run GTLConfig.exe as Administrator and setup your video settings.
Create a shortcut for GTL.exe
Change the priorities for the GTL.exe in the shortcut to run as Administrator.
Now install the Mods into that new folder.
Check if there is a Read me included in the Mod about how to install.
But most Mods are installed by unzipping the archive If the root folder of the archive are Gamedata then just copying the content into the GTL\ Gamedata folder.

[futten]

I can confirm opel kadett c coupe downloaded from this site, installing and working correctly.
If you are still having problem with capri turbo, I have uploaded Brickyards capri mk3 turbo.https://www.racedepartment.com/downloads/ford-capri-iii-turbo-brickyard-legends-team.23892/

 

[futten]

downloaded and it worked perfect thank you

i must be one of very few that still playes this game

 

[Bjarne Hansen]

We are not many that still play it but it is still a great game.

futten,

As an example:
Go to Gamedata\Teams\GTC-65|Lotus Elan\601, click on the "car" file and open with notepad. Scroll down to the line that reads - classes="SIM_FULL, SIM_GTC, SIM_GTC65, SIM_Elan, SIM_GTCTC65, SIM_MASH" This is where you define where the car will show up in your game. In this case the Elan shows up anytime you run the GTC-65 class cars. If you type in "SIM_GTC76" in this line, the Elan will be available for play anytime you run the GTC76 cars.

Each car must have one of the classes (SIM_GTC, SIM_GT65, SIM_GTC76, SIM_TC65) in the class line to appear in game.

You can also create new custom classes (I have six different classes with specific cars in each)which we can discuss at another time,

If somebody is interested, there are still a lot online races for GTL scheduled and planned over at https://www.simracing.org.uk/index.php / https://www.simracing.org.uk/smf/index.php?action=LM2R&group=569&theme=5

New drivers always welcome!

Im having trouble viewing any of the text files that I wish to edit to add the F1 Legends. The SIM_GTC.gdb file appears to be wingdings? I have been able to add plenty of cars and tracks but the F1 Legends addition is fighting me. I unistalled and reinstalled the game but the SIM_GTC file is still not readable.
