Skins problem.

[Ethan Bass]

I have just downloaded a bunch of Seat Leon skins, but some aren't coming up, and some that I've had for a while, no longer show as the custom skin, but look like one of the default skins.

I also, tried editing the .config file (done this plenty of times, its not hard) to make some 07 & 06 skins, show up as choosable in the 08 class. But this time, the cars either, don't show up at all in the Leon 08 car, or the driver's name shows, but its the default skin that shows up in its place. But the strangest thing is, the TDI Seat skins are fine, they all show up, but their respective petrol version (i.e. skin from a pack with both TDI and Petrol in its .config file) just comes up with the default skin.

I'm not sure that the 08 SEAT is even skinnable via the usual method. It doesn't appear on the list the game generates of skinnable cars, and nothing I put in the ini file would make it work. I had to use the 07 version instead.

Problem solved. With this pack http://www.racedepartment.com/gtr-evolution-skins/37066-new-file-added-fdr-s2000-skin-pack.html inside there, there is a gamedata/teams/Seat Leon 2008 folder. In there, there are .ini files that, while sitting in that folder extracted to C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\your name\race 07, will allow skins that have [SEAT Leon 2008] as the car id, to show up in-game.
