Excellent work! It might be worth looking into CM's features regarding #4, I believe it is possible rn to use the extension folder to hide certain 3d models from showing up in game and in showroom.
Unsure though remember reading about it a bit in SRP's discord.
Lovely work, thank you! Is it technically possible to make the front corner flaps of the #4 skin transparent? From what I can see in the crash/wreck photos of its two accidents, neither of the chassis wearing that number had them on when they took to the skies. The team slapped those flaps onto the surviving two cars (#5 and #6) after Webber's 2nd flight.
Thank you for the review! While technically possible, removal of the diveplanes would be rather complicated.
Reason 1 is simple; erasing the texture from the skin where the diveplanes are located will not make them transparent, but make them revert into a solid black texture. (see this image for a visual explanation https://ibb.co/2sBmJbN)
Reason 2 is that even if you successfully erased the diveplanes from the chassis, it would only be visible when loading into game. This complicates making an accurate AO map for the livery, since the diveplanes still are rendered in content manager showroom. I had originally inteded to go this route for the skins, but quickly abandoned it because of the difficulty of making the AO for the front corners look good.
Basically making diveplaneless versions of this skin is probably a little more trouble than what it's worth.
Hey and thanks for the 5 star review! I'll put helmet designs down as a definite maybe later down the line. I haven't even thought about helmet designs before, but it might be fun to try!

Hope this covers it well enough!
