    Hi - I'd like to change the paint scheme on the GT-R and Corvette cars. Is there somewhere where schemes have neen uploaded? Would like a RL Nismo set. Also, will these work across MP - will there be any MP side-effects if I instal my end?

    Custom skins work really well. I love to see the little green box by drivers names in the servers and check out the excellent paint jobs on show. There are some very talented painters around here and I am thankful for the car skins thread and painters sharing the creations :D

    C3PO...

    The folder you create in the player/Settings folder is named the same as the folder in the Installed/Vehicles folder. For the GTR it`s "ngtr_car" not NissanGTR...

    If there`s not a folder named "ngtr_car" in the Settings folder, create one and then do the sub folder, NGTR_02 (or whatever number of car your replacing) and put your renamed .dds file containing "alt" in it somewhere, in that folder. The skins should appear then.

    For any skins you want to put in sim do the above. Look in the Installed/Vehicles folder to see what the cars are named and make a folder of the same name in the player/settings folder, create your sub folder and put the skins in there.

    EG:

    player/settings/ngtr_car/NGTR_00 - NGTR_00alt.dds

    If there are window files etc that come along with the skin, add "alt" to them too.


    EG:

    NGTR_00WINDSHIELDOUT.dds

    to

    NGTR_00altWINDSHIELDOUT.dds

    Hope this helps.

    @ tjc & C3PO there is a easier way rather then creating folders manually

    just go to the car in the showroom and their is a button Create Dir this will create all folders for you for the model and number car that you want for the skin in the userdata/player/settings/car folder, I also just name my skins with a number like on the pic 0001alt and increment the number for each extra skin.

    Nice one exiled...

    I`d actually forgotten to say about the "Create Directory" option :p

    The car looks really nice in your screen of the spinner there. Is that from previous builds? I ask because my spinner view looks way over saturated and pretty jaggy and nowhere near as nice as that.

    That`s exactly what it was... seems having HDR on just now makes things look pretty yuk in the spinner.
