    to all the experienced livery/ skin creators for rF2, are there instructions, how to get preview of livery/ skin done to show in menu when choosing vehicle + livery/ skin?

    Just replace your texture. Then in menu select a different car then select your car and it should update.

    Thanks for the tutorial, I have done a few skins but what I want to know is how to get a preview image in the car selection screen. Thanks again.

    Have you tried making the icons?
    "YourskinnameSMICON".dds
    "YourskinnameICON".dds
    They are the files that the game looks for to display in the menu

    Simple answer is No.
    It doesn't work for add-on cars, skins, liveries, Teams. Never has. Only works for cars actually in the mod. Always been this way I have no idea what or why people that have been around rF2 all this time haven't told you this.

    They will work only if you un-pack the teams Mas. Add your your liveries and re-pack the Mas. so the new liveries have their own Veh ini. But once you've done this the mod is no longer online compatible!

    Oh the choices we have to make. Personally the ICON's aren't that important.

    Thanks for the heads up on this. I had only looked at the teams file so far and worked out where the icon files are located. I modded the teams file in the Porsche 917 a while back and RF2 would not load after. So I did wonder about adding icon files would cause a similar problem. Thanks again.

    I would need a lot more pictures from different angles. I haven't looked at the P3 template yet, some templates are quite complicated and it takes a while to work out what parts go where and to work out the alignments of the different parts. I will investigate.

    I'll have ago at it, it will take a while to do and to collect all the logos. Hope your not in to much of hurry, I'm a bit slow at doing skins, I like to make a good quality skin.
