    A couple of points when I made them I would
    create the car I wanted in the human driver
    I created an alt skin for it this is created in a folder named “player” in player/settings/f1 70s style
    then I would adjust the template to match the car I created
    Then I would create my skin and test it by replacing the alt skin in the “player” virtual skin folder
    Once I was happy with the skin and region file and json file I would copy them to another folder
    In this folder I all this folder build it’s where I create my final build I copied a veh file I had extracted from the mod in my case I used the Lola veh file and changed the gen string to match the car I had created
    I would rename the skin files along with the required veh file and then create a mas file which can then be put in the 0.94 directory
    I never changed the material override reference in the veh file and I didn’t use dev mode so I can’t help you with those parts.
    The way I did it created 17 cars successfully if you open up the mas file I posted earlier you can use that as a reference

    good luck with it

    Those cars are truely great, thank you Chief for the great work!

    One small request, please consider set all COCKPIT cam LODMultiplier to 1.0 (default value).
    The mod's current value is 2, performance aside, it breaks immersion for tracks like IOM and Targa since it reveals quite a lot floating sections which supposed to be hidden from sight with default LOD value.

    Thanks!

    Spectacular!!! Thank you to you all for your fantastic work.

    I have a little question. It's basically a curiosity one. Talking about Formula One from 1970's... is there any possibility that someday you make the 1977 Ferrari 312T2, in similar quality standards (for example) of the 1984 Brabham, or the fantastic 1986 cars?
    Everyone remembers fast the 1976 season, Lauda-Hunt epic battle... but I always had the feeling that, the 1977 season and the 1977 Ferrari winning car are a little bit underrated.

    Cheers!!

    1972 Formula One season....This will be a side project as i have some other skins to complete but i do enjoy creating these skins so you never know...
    Made a few tweaks to Chiefs skins and almost finished the BRM, there is something special about a red and white Marlboro car :)

    Hey Chief, do you happen to have the wire frame for the helmet? I'm attempting to make Jackie Oliver's helmet, but having issues with the visor of the Helmet_2.gmt.

    I think I got the Shadow done tonight.

    @bears, the mod have a lower and higher Cockpit Wall, on the Screenshot I can't see what you use for the Matra, I think the higher Cockpit will fit better for the Matra but maybe it is the higher one.......and.......the Matra Logo should have the same color as the Car :D

    Yeah you are right chief I was looking at having no windshield the car did not appear to have one so the higher cockpit will work well, regarding the Matra logo you meant the word on the side of the cockpit? I thought it would be the same colour as the car but saw a few pics where it seemed darker this era of cars seemed to change their look every race, I will go with your expertise you are the Chief after all :)
