You should use the alpha channel in the 2018_Chassis_P to generate the carbon effects on the skin. Just take a look on the official skins how it's done.
Kimoa logos are missing on the back part of the rear wing and the frontal barge boards.

The OZ GP car is the car which raced at yesterday's gp. There's a few more sponsor's on the car; Chandon and LAT_56 are the main ones.

P.S. I just noticed that you're missing a Renault logo on the left side of the car

Thanks to both of you!

Great start.

@zenasy You give him 3 stars because of the tyre textures he used? Copy the better quality tyres from the original car skins and you're fine, please re-rate this skin properly, this is a 5-star skin.

@formulaHEINE is already working on his brilliant Pirelli tyre textures so any tyre problem will be fixed soon.

Sorry but I rated this as I got it when I hit download. It's his duty to make sure everything is up to standard and doesn't require the end user to have to copy over textures due to the creator's oversight. I'll go and do that but until he fixes it himself my rating remains

I accidently wrote in the review thread sorry... I was trying to say is when I load up a session the helmet also the suit appear as this. And not the ones you've included in the files with Alonso or Stoffel's helmets/suits. Maybe I installed it wrong or there's a setting in-game?

I halso have this issue... but if I load the driver in the Content Manager I see helmet and suit correctly... I don't know how to fix this

I deleted the skin.ini file and then the helmet showed up ingame.
I don't know if that's the best solution but it worked.

Anyways, here are some things I'd like to mention:
1. You included the pink Hypersoft tyre although the softest tyre for Melbourne was the purple Ultrasoft, maybe you can switch them out in the next update!

2. I don't know what happened but it looks like the texture on the Halo is very low-res, it also looks very strange if you look at it from the side/front, some parts have a carbon pattern while others don't, it doesn't look uniform overall, it should have a nice dark black colour.
I don't know if it's possible to place a logo on the Halo but there's that Gandys flip flop logo on the Halo as well.

3. If you use the look-from-behind cam you can see that the Petrobras logo on the left and right aren't symmetrical. Also in Australia they used the BR Petrobras logo.
If you look from the side the Petrobras logo isn't straight but is pointing upwards towards the rear, maybe you can straighten it a bit?

4. There are Logitech logos on the top of the headrest on both sides.
https://i.imgur.com/jkd5EIN.jpg

5. There are @McLarenF1 logos on the front part of the headrest, basically next to the steering wheel.
https://www.racefans.net/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/racefansdotnet-XPB_924266_HiRes.jpg

6. There's something wrong with the @McLarenF1 logos next to the mirrors on the side of the chassis.
They are black as they supposed to be but it looks like they are surrounded by a white/bright orange stripe ingame.

7. For Australia the Renault and Dell Technologies logos have been placed differently. The Dell logo has been moved forward towards the center of the car and the Renault logo has been moved downwards for better visibility, now it's basically next to where the rear suspension disappears in the bodywork.

8. On the base version there was a Hilton logo on the bottom of the rearwing endplate.
For Australia they painted the bottom part of the rearwing endplate black and moved the Hilton logo to the frontwing (as you already did).

9. There's a FIA Action for Road Safety logo behind the helmet, not sure if it can be placed there though.

10. For Australia they've put the driver names next to the helmets/below the air intake.

That's basically everything I've noticed while testing the skin, nothing big but only a couple of small detail changes. If you rework these things we will have a perfect skin in the end!

Thanks so much for that

Thanks so much for that

I'm glad I could help.
Btw. one final small thing I've missed in my post above.
I think the Chandon logo on the rearwing is a bit too wide, there's not enough blue space next to it left and right.
https://i.imgur.com/jkd5EIN.jpg
Right now the logo basically goes from one side to the other with very small blue space next to it.

*EDIT*
Another thing. The logos on the front of the nose cone (Lubrax, NTT Communications, SAP & Pirelli) are too small overall, they all need to be a bit larger.
https://i.imgur.com/jkd5EIN.jpg

*EDIT2*
Just had a closer look again in the showroom, the Petrobras logo is actually straight when looking from the side, it only appears to be curved/pointing upwards from certain angles because of the shape of the bodywork, so the logo position is fine actually, no need to fix that.

*EDIT3*
Alright, checked it again. Both logos are straight from the side, so there's no need to fix that. But when looking from above I've noticed the logo on the left side starts "earlier" while the logo on the right starts "later", that's why it's not symmetrical when looking from behind.
Just compared to the real car again. The position of the right logo is the correct one so it would be great if you could keep the right logo as it is and adjust the position of the left logo accordingly.

Sorry for editing this post so often.

*EDIT4*
The Richard Mille logo on the chassis and the logo on the mirrors look very low quality, is there a way to improve it?
Also the Renault logos on the rear of the car aren't placed symetrically 100%, when looking from behind you notice that they are basically pointing into different directions.

*EDIT5*
OK This is the final edit.
Maybe you could brighten up the rims just a tiny bit and give them more of a mix of black and grey instead of having them in pitch black? The real rims are pretty dark that's right but yours are even darker.

oooops, I'm definitly stupid
how did I not see it before?
Thanks for reporting that

 

[asehauDLM]

That update is great, thanks a lot! That blue color effect is gorgeous!
I didn't test it ingame yet but does Alonso still have the yellow T-cam?
I never noticed this before but someone in the review section mentioned it.

Those logos on the sides now look much nicer,
thing is with these cars you cant always place them accurate, trick is to try your best for placement in difficult areas, and place it best you can but without warping them on certain angles,
car looks much cleaner with this updated version of the petrobras on the sides
