    Hi ,i have a question for some "specalists" out there.Is there a easy way to customize the game to your likings by deleting folders/files so that they are visualy and physicaly no longer in the game?
    I would like to save some HD space and i am not interested in carts or trucks etc.or a system like in Rf2 with subscribe/unsubscribe stuff.
    Thanx and have a good time watching Le Mans 24 houres this weekend.:)

    Delete rF2. :p

    But you can try to delete here: D:\Steam\steamapps\common\Automobilista 2\Pakfiles\TRACKS
    But but but I would delete any other sim or game you do not play or do not play lots.

    AMS / AMS 2 is life :hurrayreiza:

    Only if you verify cache I bet. After each update it would probably only update the current files or/and copy missing updated track into the folder.

    To save OP from hassle. I would delete another game, or the infamous :whistle:-folder.

    Adding a second SSD to you computer would make much more sense. I would be careful with just deleting stuff out of the game. Tracks and cars are not just simple add-ons and just deleting them might cause the game to throw a bunch or error messages and then not working at all.

    I thought of that...
    The car class icons are still there and if you click it, the game hangs up!
    So how to edit that,anyone knows if it is possible?

    I don’t think you gain much free HD space by deleting a few tracks and cars.
    Better save for an extra HDD. :D

    Hehe I have it the same way.
    It irritates me when un-needed files(here cars & tracks) fills my HD.
    It was the same irritation that made me completely delete rF2 (after some massive unstability :eek:) because I had been irritated a long time that Steams workshop was occupied by doublettes of all the rF2 files.:rolleyes:

    Delete rF2. It's justified cause it has double files. It has files in the workshop-folders, and it also installs/copies them into the locations-folder of rF2. So.... :p

    Hahaha. Good one.
    I guess you are slightly ironic here;)
    And thats ok - because we can find a lot of different ideas and sidesteps to get rid of this file redundancy in some way or another.:p

    It really has double files. Check the workshopfolder for rF2 and then the locationsfolder in rF2 install-folder. Same files. Twice. :p Thus using more space on your SSD than you thought.
