How long is turn around time for them to send the email? It's been less than 24 hours so I am not worried just curious. Jim

As I don't use Gimp all I can tell you is something I heard someone tell another about this issue.



And that is that Gimp sometimes saves the image upside down. Look at your saved dds, and compare it to the template and see if they are oriented the same, if not, rotate your image before you save.
Other then that I have no clue, but I can tell you you do not have to flatten the image before you save to dds.

Aha!  It was the compression setting all along.  When I was exporting to .DDS I left the compression set to the default value of no compression at all.  I switched to a DXT5 setting, re-exported and that fixed it.




All that's left now is to fix the striping on the hood venting and learn to drive faster and I'll be ready!

[Scott Beck]

That looks great!

[longhornjoe]

Thanks man! I've always loved the simplicity in the style that a lot of the Martini cars have had. Stark white with the red and blue striping; that's all that the car needs. The more they try to add to that, it just looks worse, IMO.

Has anyone else had any problem on the server over the last couple of days? Lately I've been able to join the server, but can't modify any Garage settings and the Race button is dead. I've tried joining with other cars and their default skins, in case it was something to do with my custom, but that hasn't helped. I can tell others have been logging laps on Liveracers, so it looks like it's working for at least some others.

[Scott Beck]

I just went on the server and it is working fine for me.

[F1Fan07]

Server is fine for me.

[longhornjoe]

Ok, figured that one out. For some reason "spectator" mode had gotten turned on in my network settings. (WTH?)

[F1Fan07]

Heads up dudes, these cars have ignition mapping settings. I didn't see it selectable in the Garage but you can map buttons for up/down. It's not Boost... it's the option below it in the mappings screen.

[Scott Beck]

It's where? I don't see it.

[Jeff H.]

I found a whole bunch of skins. They are all zipped up here: link. You will have to open them with Photoshop or load them up in game to see them.

[AngeloDS]

Thanks Jeff. I installed it all.

I have a few questions to everyone that can answer, though.

* I have no idea what the ignition map thing means or what effect will have on the car? I just have a button to start the car.

* About the paintings. Particularly with this Mod, the paintings keeps reflecting the ambient, excessive reflective. I dont know why this is happining only with this Mod. Sometimes it completely mess the way the paint suppose to be. Just me?

* Upgrade LeMans BoP. Balance of performance? This affect the car similar way that happened with the WEC Mod in rF1?

[F1Fan07]

Poor choice of words for me... what you want is Increment Mixture and Decrement Mixture. The Ferrari at least has 12 settings.

[Seahawks1Fan]

Well, looks like I'll miss this one as well. Have a family get together/birthday party I just found out about tomorrow at 7:00pm. Son of a bitch!!
