  This file contains a ttrd3.qfs to be used as showcase background.

  However HS only supports 2 showcase backgrounds.

  If you prefer the ttrd3.qfs, than rename it to ttrd1 or 2.qfs.

    The thing is that High Stakes only supports showcase backgrounds from original cars and not from addon cars or did you get custom showcase backgrounds working in some way?

  It's just a matter of using the correct identityname (in this case ttrd), you can give every car 2 showcase backgrounds.

    They will not appear in the game, noise, they will only appear if you replace with original files from original cars, because the game executable file will only read those, feel free to prove me wrong because i'd like to have this feature on custom cars.

    EDIT: I've been using hundreds of cars for now and i've never ever seen 1 single custom menu showcase background in the game so i unfortunately think i'm not wrong

  How do you explain that Driven made new showcase-backgrounds for a addoncar than?

  It's just like vidwalls.

    I don't know. Maybe my game is just not working, but there wouldn't be a reasonable reason for that. You started modding way back earlier than me. Did you ever see a custom showcase menu background in your game? I guess not, unless you replaced the original bmw51.qfs and bmw52.qfs files with the custom ones

    I know it's been 2 years since I've checked comments (sorry), but I'll say, on my version of NFS4 (Modern Patch), all my add-on, non-original-replacing cars, they all can have showcases, interiors, and vidwalls of all kinds. Noise is correct though, the game will only ever display 2; not sure why I included 3--maybe I just liked the third too much to not include it, or I didn't know about the limitation. Anyway, if your game isn't displaying them, I don't know what's going on. I've never had that issue.

    Woow! Welcome back!! It's nice you've found yourself answering us LoL. What i was talking about 2 years ago was the main menu background images, they are called: xxxx1.qfs and xxxx2.qfs. Whenever you replace an original set, those images will be displayed when sailing through the menues, each time, you go to another menu, the background image will change. You will notice it when you replace some of the original ones with custom ones. Those files are used for nothing else. Here's an example (hopefully): bcou1.qfs:

    
    

    Did you ever see this in the game? I see it the very first time because i'm displaying it after exporting the .qfs with FSHTool. Not even the official DLC cars' background images will display.

    EDIT: Ok for some reason i can't insert pics here, but it used to work, don't know why that is, but you can have a look yourself at the game files with FSH Tool

    Too bad I can't see the image, I'd like to know exactly what you're seeing. But I think I understand what you're talking about. Just now I replaced the 3 original XKR showcase files with a random showcase of a different mod car and the slide in the main menu with the little screens showing game tracks being driven through--instead of showing the XKR's image, it showed the other mod car's showcase instead.
    
    The reason I never encountered this behavior is because I've never replaced an original car's showcase set with a mod one. I would guess that the only solution is to not replace an original car's vidwall set. By that I mean to not assign a mod car one of the identities of an original car, and likewise to rename its vidwall set to the new non-original identity.
    
    So e.g., change the Audi TT's identity in its car.viv from, let's say Ff50 (if it were replacing the Ferrari F50), to Attq, and then all its showcase files from Ff50.qfs, Ff501.qfs, Ff502.qfs, etc., to Attq.qfs, Attq1.qfs, Attq2.qfs, etc. Then restore the original game's Ff50.qfs files. 
    
    I know that probably doesn't help or isn't anything you didn't already know, but I'm not sure what else I can do. Having the main menu slide images display the vidwalls of cars installed in the game sounds to me like a feature, not a bug.
    
    P.S. You can temporarily store images in Catbox.moe and then share its URL so others can see it. I don't think there's much I can do to help with the problems this mod is giving you, but I am curious to know what you're seeing.

  The main-menu background pic's can be replaced if you keep the same name (I'm afraid that's hard coded). I remember in the Detroit Muscle Mod it was done.
