Mercedes Sauber C9 Realistic Paintjob

Mercedes Sauber C9 Realistic Paintjob 1.01

The fact that Kunos' Sauber C9 looked nothing like a "Silver Arrow" but more like a "Grey Arrow" bothered me to the teeth and maybe some of you guys too. No need to be bothered anymore, however! With the use of IRL footage/images and some Gran Turismo 7 footage, you and I can now proudly drive a car that rightfully looks like a 'Silver Arrow'!

As far as accuracy goes, it's not 100% similar to GT7 or in real life, but it's pretty darn close IMO, like 90-94% of the way there.

Installing is easy, just extract the 'skins' folder into the Kunos sauber c9 folder.

If you don't like the look of Kunos liveries or if it's lacking the #62 skin, no problem! You can use this mod https://www.overtake.gg/downloads/sauber-mercedes-c9-lm-1989-61-62-63-8k-4k.30007/ made by @Midnight in conjuction with my mod!

STEPS ON HOW TO DO IT:
Step 1:
Extract Midnight's skins (either 4k or 8k) into skins folder of Kunos' sauber c9 folder.

Step 2: Delete the Skin_00_MAP.dds file in the each skin folder (C9_LM_1989_61, C9_LM_1989_62, C9_LM_1989_63).

Step 3: Copy and paste the metal-detail.dds from the skins in my mod to each skin folder of the skins from Midnight's mod. (For some reason the metal-detail.dds texture in his mod is metal '_' detail.dds)

Step 4: Copy and paste the ext_config.ini from the skins in my mod to each skin folder of the skins from Midnight's mod.

Step 5: Enjoy!

Thanks for your efforts. The screen shots look great but like someone pointed out for me there is no difference. Looks exactly the same. Guess milage will depend on what PPF one is running. Not everyone is running what you use.

Thanks for your review! The screen shots used the C13 Camera Obscura PPF with the latest Pure on completely default settings! Yes, not everybody is running what I am running. Which is why after the review of the person (who you mentioned) which had the same situation, I immediately tried 20+ PPFs (from stock Pure PPF to S K Y) driving in all conditions/environments!

Majority of the ppfs that I have tested looked like the screenshots and I would say looked even better than what I am running. Some ppfs looked a bit darker but nothing like Kunos' 'grey arrow' paintjob! I'm sorry if it looks like that for you! I will try and fix this in a future update!
Subtle change, great improvement
5/5, all good here, looks great, thanks for the sweet skins!
Really nice!
Very nice. No issues here. Thank you.

might be your ppf settings, but to me they look just as grey if not more grey on my game.

I'm using C13 Camera Obscura with the latest Pure as of this comment! Stock settings, right out of the box! Sorry if it looks like that for you.

Though may I note, the environment particularly the sky with all the clouds and stuff might influence the brightness of the paintjob. Try running clear skies to really see the silver shine.
