Unfortunately idiots on the server tonight with the only intention of ramming people as the pass.

It’s just typical spoiling it for everyone, you can go days without issue as well.

Ah man that's a shame, might need to password it again then.

Out of the 8 that joined the server it was just 2 people that screwed it for everyone, once they got bored and left everyone else that joined was fine.

Spent all evening making a better livery, think I'm happy with it finally! Sent to Johann ready to be sent out with any other new / updated liveries.

Does anyone know how to ensure the png is saved as the best quality? I've noticed weird artifacts / blurring around most decals when in game, doesnt look anywhere near as good as the preview.

Now we all know my skill level at this is pretty high so from what I’ve found if you produce the livery at double the resolution to what ACC accepts then downscale it when you export the png the aliasing is far better.

ACC apparently is 4096px

This sounds interesting, not exactly sure how to achieve this with Photoshop but I'll look in to it. Usually I just get the standard template, add my stuff and save.

Ah I’ve only been using Blender and you can set the pixel values at the start for the layers then export

 

[Trox]

Haha I just noticed Mario, quality

Gotcha, I'm sure Photoshop should have something similar. I'll do some googling when I get chance. @bobbyD_ you might have a version 2 of the new livery heading your way before the race haha

 

[McFlunch]

I'm in !

 

[huggybendy]

In, thanks

Enrico’s (@huggybendy) livery looked awesome, well detailed and it must have aided him to the win. Can we have a block out on it?
