RDLMS Skin Guide
For the RDLMS skins we will use the most simple and quickest way possible to put your cars into rFactor.
There is no need for .veh files in rFactor, and to make our life easier we will not use the .veh files or assign car numbers needed to do so. Without them we have a skin pack half the size of what it would be, a much easier skin creation procedure and no chance of any mismatches on race day.
------------------------------------------------------------------
Instructions
Go to your rFactor install folder, and to the team folder of the car you will be using for RDLMS Round 1.
As our example we use the Courage C65 - 06ALMS BK Motorsport Car:
And then, inside that folder make a folder called “SKINS”
Within that folder put your DDS file of your skin in there and name it the name of your team as entered in the entry list thread. Now in the “SKINS” folder create a new .txt document and call it your team name, (exactly the same as your dds file)
Put the text below inside the .txt file and fill in the necessary data (highlighted in bold) and save:
// EnduRacers - Endurance Series
// EnduRacers © 2009
// v1.0
Description="
Your Team Name"

===================

Now that is done, your car should be working in game if you followed the simple steps above.
To see your car, go in game and to the team you will use, so for this example we got to the ALMS 2006 BK Motorsports car, and then go to the “Skins” section and your team name will be visible there, click that and there is your car.
To add, windows, rims & driver's suits, make a Misc folder inside the Skins folder and place the extra files in the Misc folder.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To submit your files we need to know your team name, class / car and the default team folder you are submitting your skin for.
Example for our guide skin above:
- Your Team: DHR GP 2
- Class: P2
- Car: Courage C65
- Default Team Folder: 06ALMS_BK Motorsport
Submit your “SKINS” folder in the teams folder in a .Zip with the information needed to this email:
