Hello, This sounds awesome but when I try to install it, I get the error: No module named "blender_assetto_corsa_tools_v1" Have any idea what I could be doing wrong?
thanks for letting me know, it should be fixed now. The problem was that it did not like having the version name attached to the end of the zip file
