I can't seem to get my downloaded vehicles to show up in game.  The first pack I ever downloaded, was by Captain14 and worked fine with the package installer.  Every time I try a manual installation through OpenIV, the vehicles don't show up in game.  I follow the readme's and place the files in whichever patchday folder it says to.  I can also see the downloaded model when I double click the file in OpenIV.

 

Any advice?

Don't listen to the readmes in terms of what patchday.  An update stopped previous patchdays from working right with vehicles.  Place the files in the very latest patchday that has a vehicles.rpf.

Unfortunately I have placed some in the patchday13 and still had no luck.

Are you using a mods folder?

 

When you double click the vehicles.yft and you see a preview of the car, is this the modded car you want?

I wasn't using a mods folder.  I just deleted everything and am re-downloading GTA.  Not sure if it will make a difference in a mods folder though.  I would drag the files over into the vehicles folder in OpenIV.  When I double clicked to make sure the file had been replaced, I would see the new vehicle.  When I went into the game and spawned that vehicle spot, it was still the old model.

Mods folder makes a huge difference.    http://openiv.com/?p=1132

 

Plus it protects your vanilla files so you don't need to reinstall.

Once I get everything reinstalled, I will post back and let you know if the mods folder fixes it.
