Only one week? Feels like so much longer.

Not sure yet. After the couple of endurance-races I've done, I end up like always, a bit tired of racing and I know I must do every Friday anyway.

We'll see during the next week

I still don't know if i'm gonna be able to join, work is stll very busy

but i did try the combo and its a nice one and i think tire wear will have to be manage cause after a few laps running pretty much the default setup my crew chief told me that i had a little bit of tire wear at the rear.

Edit: and i'm hoping i will receive my Fanatec gear this week, i will just need to complete building my new rig for it

You need to make a .mas file containing all the files IIRC.
Haven't done a window-file since April/May, but I seem to remember this being the case.

Yves Larose · Nov 8, 2020

@Ole Marius Myrvold thats what i'm doing, i followed all the tutorial i could find to the letter and still the windows and the extra files shows as an alt skin for the car.

Can you send your files to me, and I'll try as well

That way I can also see if there's something I have forgotten!

Just remembered I made some liveries for this the last time we used the mod. Just copy-pasting my post from then.

I think I've said it in some threads now, I like to see colors/different cars on the grid. And this mod only got 5 liveries to choose from, so I've made 5 more, some classic, some obscure, but all inspired from real life. Though car 1 and 2 was hard to get information on, both cars were from early 80's RX, with little pictures and mostly homemade recording from the stands to go on.

First out, Piet Dam's Levis sponsored BMW 320i RX, put on our 2002tii. - Download Link

#2 Piet Dam, A.Hak sponsored BMW 320i RX, put on our 2002tii - Download Link

#3 Classic Jägermeister - Download Link

#4 Classic BMW - Download Link

#5 Classic BMW - Dark - Download Link

NOTE: Car #52 in game does not work to well with all cars due to different bumper and chassis. Some does work on #52 though. Also note that different bumpers, rear spoiler etc. can slightly change the car from what's shown on renders.
How to use:
Choose a car in game. Click tuning/customize, and "create dir".
Find the created folder in: Steam\steamapps\common\rFactor2\UserData\player\Settings\BMW 2002\BMW_*Number of the car*
Paste the dds file there, and choose it on tuning/customize in game (You have to click reload if you haven't exited the game when pasting in the dds file)

As before, I just make this because I find it fun, and interesting to keep learning (gotta do something when furloughed). No expectations that anyone will use any cars. But the opportunity are there if anyone want to
