Monaco Complete Texture Update v1.2

Hi Guys

Here is my complete texture update for Pyyer's 2024 Monaco ext.

Took me a while to figure this one out, the way I've been updating textures (previous tracks) didn't really work or make a real impact.

Adding curves, contrast or altering hue just didn't do the job.

Eventually tried something new, editing two of same textures separately and layering them on top of each other to create one new texture.

This way I was able to create better building surface/window textures, better shadows, better colors and definition.

This process I did for all building textures, took some time to get the layering correct for each texture but definitely was worth it.

Hope you guys enjoy this update , below is an example with textures I reworked.





NB: This update works only with Pyyer's 2024 Monaco ext. as monaco_f1_2024.vao-patch effects updates differently
