I Really like that skin Gianluca and it would be a welcome addition to the 3rd season ...

Thanks Carl
I'd like to make the
#108 MSW Motorsport (LeMans86) the last of the list

Probably i'm going little bit sloly... because i have a lot of my work in this time...

And this one BMW M1 - Fernando Espirito Santo

You are doing a fantastic job Gianluca , don't worry as we all have real life constraints that limit how much time we can dedicate to modding.

Steve that one should be easy to paint, and there are more good and also recent pics as the car is still today racing: http://www.flickr.com/photos/richard_crawford/4604601662/
I must see how I get in touch with the guys running these beauties and get detailed information about car's suspension and behaviour.

Thanks Alberto
Steve, i like so much this skin car...
Carl i re-upload the #90Surer car because I forgot some sponsor on the rear car parts

Sorry guys having some problems with the pc at the moment

Uppps sorry to hear that

I have the Motul car almost ready, only needs adding some sponsor logos and the number. We can really add any number we want for this car, as it had a different one in each rally it participated. Usually you see it with the #3 of the Tour de Corse, but it had others. Any preferences for a currently unused number? I'll add it using the Procar font, will look great

BTW I have decided to do a 2nd (optional) version of physics for all non-Gr.4 cars like this (IMSA GTO, Gr. 5 and Rally Gr.B) so that people can race it outside the PROCAR championships in other mods where appropiate (Nurburgring 1000km, Le Mans, IMSA, Rally), including the Rally stages available for rFactor. Will be great to see this Rally M1 sliding out of the tarmac


[EDIT]

Car is now ready:

Looking good Alberto can we have another number as we already have 2 X #3

I Cant try it when its finished as im having a DirectX Nightmare been on this for
2 evening's so far and im pulling my hair out

It seems like things are getting worse ...So ,

Ive just backed up all the M1 Stuff incase the worst possible scenario happens

Jeez that sux Carl . Sounds like formating is your last option :S ...

OK Motul car is now finished, see my previous post with updated picture ...

I have given it the number 10, as it was unused in teh revival season so far.

Now on to the Red Lobster car

In my experience Windows gets so dirty with all kinds of rubbish as time goes by, that I decided long ago to plug my system HDD (I have one for OS and another one for data storage) with Windows and all utils/programs freshly installed into my laptop via an adapter and made an image-back up. Now I regularly plug the HDD again into the laptop and formt it, then copying the image over and presto! I have a brand new clean install of everything

Red Lobster car ready to race ...



The only problem I found with this one is that the rear lateral grilles seem to share the texture mapping, hence it was impossible to make the waving chequered flag of the logo look correctly there. I did what I could, but it is way less than perfect.

Wonder how Carl is managing his DX problem ... hope everything is OK mate, I know how it suxs to suffer computer problems

@Gianluca, are you painting the Fernando Espiritu Santo one, or the beautiful ones you showed in the previous page with rainbow colours?

Wow Alberto i love it ...Another welcome addition to the mod ....

Ive made some real progress on the pc today lets just say IE8 is out and Mozilla is in ...

After uninstalling DX and all my graphics drivers and reinstalling god knows how many times , everytime proving fruitless
trying to figure things out , managed to get all my pc games working except rfactor ,so my only option was to delete all my rfacter files trying to figure out the problem after searching the web
its seems im not the only one whose had the same problem ....

The New IE8 and the new Flashplayer and Sony Vegas 9.0c program dont mix to well it seems ...

A complete freakin nightmare but i think ive got something nearing a stable install now without reformatting ,
so hope to be back up and running very very soon ....

Im back on the job starting to change all the Dunlop Tyres for Goodyears ...

If you want to use the Dunlop tyres then i think most of the later
Dunlop shod cars used the BBS wheels anyway ...

Mmmm isn't it possible to duplicate the tyres combination by simply cloning the model and renaming it?

Ideally we should have any tyre/rim combination for all tyres. But if that's not possible, then at least BBS wheels with either Dunlops or Goodyears, and older original PROCAR wheels just with GoodYears.

I Tried to do this already but im not really sure off how to do it ...

I have not yet started .... sorry Alberto .....
If this skin is not present in to the list... i can close first the car in to the list and after go to paint others skin not in the list About this we can listen Carl's directive. ^^
I have finish this skin it will be the #108 MSW Motorsport (LeMans86) but my skin have a 111 number... my it is correct skin or not ? ... In the real photos i see this number



Great skins Alberto!

Great job Gianluca

Yes if we can complete the cars in the list first then any other cars are a bonus ....

#111 is good i think it was #108 in a another race ........So 111 is great

Ill need to sort them wheels out as they should be Dunlops

Thx Guys

OK don't worry, the only reason why I asked this is in case I want to start another. So as to be sure we will not be working in the same car at the same time and wasting our efforts

Ok Alberto i post here, wen i start with other skin ... the next will be #106 Brun Motorsport - Eterna sponsor

Just realised the MK motorsport car has white wheels and Dunlop tyres at Le Mans so i will have to change these ...

As already commented, I have seen endurace racing cars always equipped with Dunlops.

I Know all or most Procars used Goodyear and most endurance cars use Dunlops

Dunlops and goodyears are not the problem but im still trying to get the correct wheels to show
when i apply the correct genstring to the vehicle file the cars wont load ingame and im getting .gmt errors ...

All the combinations work except the white disc with Goodyear or Dunlop wheels
im still trying to work out how to add the new wheel/tyre combinations we want to go for ...

I Can load the car vehicle file in 3dsimEd but the tread is missing and im still trying to work out how to add the missing
object and texture ...

The #106 Brun Motorsport (Drm83) are done, i have paint another car of D. Quester (there are now 3 cars of this driver ) It is #36Schnitzer(Drm83) Eterna sponsor too.
I hope that both cars are ok.
I would help you for tyres situations but haven't followed much discussion...sr..

Complete also the Wurth skin and i have make another skin of this car drived by 2 iltalian drivers

Wow Gianluca you have been very busy Great work as Usual mate ..... meravigliosa
