Thank you for sharing this car, it quickly became one of my favourite cars in AC.

Intended for or not, it is a real joy on hillclimbs

Only just got around to trying this and I noticed that reverse gear has almost no power at all and is crawling backwards.

Not a lot i can do about that. Spent a long tome messing with the ERS and drivetrain settings to try and get it working, seems to be impossible as far as i can tell.

there 1 color on the tires but the PSD is there with other colors but they will require scaling to 104% the pirelli and p_zero

After seeing this I just couldn't resist...

Hmmm maybe. If I'm bored enough tomorrow lol. I think I'm getting the hang of this car skinning thing

Have still yet to drive the car! Didn't have chance yet.

At least the Martini stripes are straight lines, unlike the mercedes... for the sides, I think there was 16 or so paths with the pen tool and then mirrored it for the other side

I guess the redbull is pretty much dark blue and slap a huge bull logo on the side... not really sure where it would go as there's no engine cover on this thing

Thanks for the car Gary, I enjoyed driving it around VIR Patriot. BTW the RWD setting seems to have half the power, is there a motor driving each wheel or something?

Thats exactly right. Take a look, one at each corner

The RWD mode is just for fun (can be used for energy saving), but really there is not enough power to do anything silly.

Ok thanks, that was the only thing I could think of other than a bug. I really shouldn't like this car, high downforce cars always seem the least enjoyable to me. Not the case with this odd ball, it's a proper little go-kart!

Well, not too hard to change that.

Challenge accepted..... (W.I.P.)

Took about 15 mins to get this logo lined up over the seam!! Nudge, save, check, nudge, save, check, rotate, nudge, etc, etc

I think thats about as close as I'm going to get without spending hours at it! Don't think it would have been any easier in 3D either. Think this will be the worst bit... the rest should be more straightforward hopefully

P.S. This would be really difficult without the skin editing mode of content manager!

If you don't know it yet, check out Content Manager and it's custom showroom, it loads changed texture files live.
Leave the showroom open, save adjustments and see the change instantly.
