Looking at RD for some liveries for the AMG, found tens of livery of a very talented designer. Was hard to choose one, but I'll go with the green, white and black Motul livery: https://www.racedepartment.com/downloads/mercedes-amg-evo-motul-racing-4-pack.57273/

A lot a awesome liveries, @JohannS. Congrats!

Thank you very much, Andre! Means a lot!

Thank you very much, Andre! Means a lot!

They looks awesome! Why did I spend so much time learning blender and the best way to do liveries when I could have just messaged you and said "dude, here's a McLaren - go crazy!"

Enjoy!

CUSTOM LIVERY JOINING LAG AND THE SOLUTION
​

I was on the server just now and my game froze for a good second, it was when someone joined with a custom livery. I have the pack so was wondering why it was still freezing, up on checking his livery folder it doesn't contain the .dds file(s). When he joined my game made a copy of it and caused the lag spike.

Before

After

Here are the liveries that don't have the needed dds files:

#125_mklengel_bmwm4_gt3-rd
3_Falken_Porsche_992
679-F296NONSTOP
BlackWhite
Porsche 992_963

If you aren't familiar with the .dds files, these are the files that get created when you load a livery in the selection screen and then another one when you first enter a session with that car. If these get included in the custom livery you submit it should minimise join lag.

The problem with some of the custom skins listed for download is they might have been submitted before Kunos introduced the new dds system or the creator has left dds creation set to off after making the skin. If the files you download or skin you create don't have them please view the car in the menu, start a session with it then look in the car folder and you should see the dds files created. Then zip it up and send to Johann. As he's not here I've loaded each car that is missing the dds files and created a new skin pack for your convenience.

Sorry Chris,
I should've checked for missing .dds files. I'll put the info in the next livery pack announcement and will do a custom check!
Have a great weekend, everybody

No worries dude, see you Monday fella.

That Falken one is mine from before Silverstone. Didn’t and won’t be using it, but will check for that file if I ever use another skin downloaded from RD.

I did some races with the AI at Donny and I have to say that the car is far more unstable than racing alone, probably from the dirty air of the other GT3 cars. Be careful out there on raceday

Good to see I won't be the only one on the 992! How is it at Donington for you?

Will see, i have not decided yet which car i drive. But it's nearly sure i won't take the Ferrari because that car is currently to favoured from BOP. Maybe the 992, but takes more laps to see if its a car for me.

I was in the Ferrari at Silverstone, it’s a relatively stress free drive, which is good for me over an hour race! But I know it’s mega popular so want to change. I like the McLaren but need to find a setup for it as I’m just a pay driver who turns up and drives!

I shared my setup for it on discoed. I believe I only lowered it a click after sharing.

Thanks mate

Will do some laps later, hopefully, and test it. Thanks for sharing
