ahhh, i found the new VEH filenames for the Oreca and went and changed them. But still havent figured out how to get rid of the 'original' cars shader of which the skin is on (see shot below) I did change the skin filenames to xxxxxxalt.dds for those which didnt have it, as did i change the veh file name to the new name it was supposed to have. Havent figured out how to get rid of the shader/gleam thats over every car with a reskin. Thanks a bunch btw, also for your skins & contribution!
Posted this last night https://forum.studio-397.com/index....e-rfactor-2-1-1112-now-available.61715/page-6 Easy fix for skins not working. Create a alt for one off the new cars. This will put a folder in your setting. Copy the folders name and pasd in the rcd file Now the skins will show. Known issue. These cars don't have a region. They don't really need one because they will load and use the default one in the Main car Mas that contains all the cars textures. Issue is the person who put that folder (Mas) together annoyingly but all to common put a livery and it's region into the Main Mas instead off a blank White car and a base region. This means the region will ghost through your livery add-on so those "who can" will have to make a base region with Car Paint. Which "should" be the default !!! To cover over someone else's rubbish. Sorry for that, Wasn't me. I know better!
Totally agree if 397 want to remove the creation of new skins from the mas file with virtual rides the rcd file needs to be able do everything the veh file does this includes classes and categories which currently when they are used the talent parameters stop working which is a pet hate of mine hopefully one day the whole virtual ride element will get some dev attention as it’s very clunky atm
I had done a few Imsa skins oreca and some gtd ones I am on holidays atm with no pc I will look at mine and correct them on my return next week hopefully 397 will have ironed a few more bugs out by then
I suck at making skins but is it okay to make a single request here? I am a big fan of audi team WRT and their liveries. Any chance anyone can make one? Preferably 2016 but anything is okay for me.
Oreca 07 skin updates. These skins are updated to the latest S397 updates. They will show up in the car list and showroom you can also drive these skins but the AI will still not use custom skins at the moment. Delete existing files from your computer and then reinstall new files, the safest way. Or you can let the new files over write the older ones. Personally I do not like the way the Orecas look now, mine and S397 skins, hate the horrible sheen these cars have now, so unnatural. Oh by the way red and green fantasy Jumbo car. I like them.

I'm currently working on an Oreca skin, and I agree with your comment on the "sheen" the car has. Thanks for the updated skins!
As for that Oreca skin i was working on... https://www.racedepartment.com/downloads/2017-imsa-team-penske-oreca.25497/ Getting the pin striping was a major pain. Spend a mojority of the time wait to load into track to be able to get better views. It's not 100% accurate, but close enough. Thanks to Boxer for the Pagenaud Helmet and Penske driver suit. Sorry i didn't take the time to change the Indycar sponsors. Just got burnt out working on this one.
I wanted to do this skin last year but there was no way of doing the chrome correctly. Really nice work 5 stars.
Are you using a shading over the color off the livery? What mean is, Red = 255 0 0. This is quite vivid and to clean. I have put a Black layer over the hole template and reduced it's transparency too 22. This overlay makes White = 255 255 2555 back to 201 201 201. As much as I hate it, it takes the sheen out off truth colors. Of cause you can do it just by darkening your color in the pallet but this just dose it all for you. Just make sure your Region setting are above that darkening layer. The Region need to have clean stark colors to work correctly. Have to admit I haven't looked at the Oreca or the Norma so I could just be talking shit right now!! Haha....
