🔧 Troubleshooting

Common Issues

1. Menu not opening - Ensure you're in a modification zone with proper job/grade
2. Job not detected - Enable debug mode: Config.Debug = true
3. Custom liveries not working - Verify YFT files are properly streamed
4. Framework not detected - Check resource start order (frameworks first)

Debug Mode

Config.Debug = true -- Enable detailed console logging

Provides information on:

• Framework detection and initialization
• Job system queries and results
• Zone access checks and permissions
• Cache operations and performance metrics

🚀 Performance Metrics

• Startup Time: <2 seconds full initialization
