    Hello, in rFactor 1 you could add multiple skins for the same driver. I am talking about included skins in the mod, that means, I am not talking about custom skins in userdata.

    My question is: Is there any way to add multiple selectable skins for the same driver?

    For example:

    - Driver: Carlos Sainz
    - Skins: Preseason Barcelona and Melbourne Skin with new Helmet.

    Greetings.

    You might be able to add altXXX to the end of the file. I tried it in dev mode and it didn't work, but if you package it, it might, but I haven't tried that.

    so... for example, imagine the main skin is called: Megane_01.dds
    If I want to make custom skin selectable in Tuning, do I have to create a new skin called Megane_01_altwhateveryouwant.dds?
    If so, what about for example the helmets? Imagine this: Megane_01HELMET.dds. Should it be called Megane_01HELMET_altblablabla.dds?

    No underscore, but everything else should be ok. For helmets, it's caraltwhateverhelmet(trying to separate the different things). Also, I checked it in-game and it does work.
