Quick note for anyone running into the same issue as me (I am windows programming noob, this may be obvious to the pros )

If you get "No data is available for encoding 1252" exception when trying to initialise the insim connection, make sure System.Text.Encoding is there and up-to-date and then add the following line somewhere before the initialisation:

I had a need for a WE and an LA that followed the "centre is 0,0" and "1 pixel per metre" rules but covered the whole drivable area. I've made a couple of replacement images for those two, but obviously they don't conform to the fixed size rule any more.

They're rough, but I've attached them for anyone else who might find them useful.

This thread is fine for problems.

I haven't seen this error before for any reason other than the dependency being missing. The one you have should work as it covers 2015.

The forum for the compiler I use suggests that it can happen if you're running a local WAMP server, but there's no other ideas there. ref

There's one (very specific!) thing I did find in an update log, which is Windows 11 24H2 with KB5046740 update. (They issued a fix for it, but I'm unable to upgrade to that version.)

Quote from stuchlo :

Not sure, if this is a good idea. Some manufacturers are not happy about mods...

Maybe, I'm not a lawyer, but you can already go to a yotota mod page and find the word toyota. I'm not sure there's any practical difference.

It's been a while so I can't remember exactly, but mod makers have a field for which car the mod was inspired by - if that field could be added to the fields that are searched for matching text, then searching "toyota" would match all the yototas, toy yodas and toytotas

Opposite problem here: I can't sink stuff into the ground if the ground is 0.00 - we have a bunch of old BLcarpark layouts that rely on that and we can't transplant them to AU. Also just been working on concrete ramps out of RO lake... which is about -2metres at the bottom. You have to use a slab at an angle to reach low enough for a ramp2 to reach up to it.

It would be nice if the lowest point of any environment was something positive, however little.
