    Is there a viewer out there that allows me to open DDS files so I can see edits without have to alt tab back into rFactor and reload the skin?

    - Open rfactor2 in windowed mode.
    - Go to the garage (tuning)
    - select your alt.dds skin

    - open photoshop
    - make some adjustments
    - overwrite the alt.dds (wait a sec until it's saved)

    - click on "reload" in factor 2.
    - and preview you adjustments you have made.

    you can do this for your alt_body.dds and all alt_extra.dds files (window, rims, window banner) for the driver suit and the helmet.dds you need to go on track.

    Once you are happy with the result.

    - Make a alt.mas file from all your .dds files. So all .dds files will be transferred with custom skin sharing on multiplayer.
    - Make a Virtual ride af the car if you want to race against an AI driving that car.

    Have fun... :)
