Sorry if this question has been answered before, but how do I switch the name for a driver for example: A.Sutil > K.Kobayashi?

I think most just use photoshop because with the extended editions you can use these 3d models that make painting a car a lot easier but you could also use free programs like GIMP or paint.net.

Hi magicaltrevor, can you make a FC Barcelona helmet or car skin, i've put this request in the Modding Requests Thread but no one has replied in the last 5 days since i posted them, so i don't know if anyone is bothering to make them for me. So if you choose to do them can you tell me how long it would take.
Thanks

Hi,
First of all don't create separate threads for asking questions.
And secondly, no one cannot change or modify the 3d model of any thing in the game, that may be the car, steering wheel or any other thing.
Post all your questions and queries here.
Thanks.

You need to extract the dds file within the pssg file first.

For this you'll need Ryders PSSG Editor.

Found here.

As ML said earlier, just extract the dds file from pssg one and then modify it using one of the texture editors, then import it back in the pssg file.

Hey, does anyone know how to reduce pitstop times?

Default pitstop times for top teams seem too slow (3-5 seconds).
I know this has been asked somewhere before, but I cant find it.

Cheers!

In database...in f1teams-pitstp highest range and lowest rangeI think the lowest range means the time and highest when the number almost the same,how perfect the team works

for example -0,85 in lowest is nearly under 3sec and the same number in highest is than every time a perfect stop

Thanks mate, i should have been more specific in my question.
I already know that pitstop_highest_range and pitstop_lowest_range affect the times of pitstops.
I'm just unsure of the actual values i need to replace the original ones with to reduce the times.
So for example, Mclaren's pitstop_highest_range is 1. And their lowest range is 0.

i have no clue what those numbers represent. It's obviously not time (in seconds). Is it a % of time?
I have no clue. haha

0 is a optimal stop...so test value in negative(-0,8 or so)and the same in highest.That is than a fast perfect stop.More i don´t know
Or choose in highest a value higher,than the crew sometimes make mistakes....just try it

So just to clarify, a Negative number in pitstop_lowest_range = faster stop?
And if the number in pitstop_highest_range = mistake probability?

Is it possible to have one driver in a team?
