    You can name it congobongo.dds if you like.., the game check for the xml and follow the path, the important part is the livery number at the beginning of item, this is the internal id for the skin. You can (i presume) put varius dds for distinct part of the skin. And please , we can have fun, no need to use "answering aggression" , we can correct wrong information in polite way

    Sorry, my bad.
    Thanks for the correction.
    I didn't get to test that way.

    Agression? There is no aggression. Seems you are biased.
    And talking about facts isn't fun, just fact. No more, no less ;)

    on the otherside, naming something "congobongo" could offend people from Congo :p

    no problem.
    I just desided to name liveries as native as possible and append P for priviews and B to banners.
    So i can quickly see what i'm working with.
    If you name it Livery1..10 and preview1..10 its not so clear.
    Thats all.

    Does any anyone know if it is possible to generate preview figures from the modded skin via a utility or AMS2?

    Hey guys,

    I'm playing with the idea of creating my own livery for a private championship with some friends. I noticed that all the custom liveries out there have no tire stickers. Is there any way to get the standard tire stickers on the car with your custom livery?

    You have to make a screenshot in optimal position, cut out ther area arround the car , add an alphachannel to this cut area and save as DXT5 w/ alpha channel. A bit of effort, but there is no other way currently

    Sorry, no, not possible at the moment. Could be possible, but needs further enhancement by Reiza in case of the override system

    Thanks for the input. I already made a preview by making a printscreen from the garage and indeed cutting out the gararge part and saving it to a dds with mipmaps. Would be nice if the custom skins would blend in in the same style the original liveries do. I saw that the Porsche GT1 skins have menu preview like the original liveries, so I am curious if this was created from scratch or by a tool.

    By the way..is possible to control the cam in the showroom? Made me mad. I think is time to an oficial Ams2 manual, like the old time.
    I dicovered for accident that i can control the replay velocity by jostick trigger..

    Is there anywhere the helmet and suit templates? I'd like to make some of them too, maybe to future use in game!

    @Rob Thompson Hello,
    It would be nice if we could get blank previews e.g. of the BMW M6 and McLaren GT3 or Mercedes and McLaren GT1.
    Just like in the sample pictures below.
    It doesn't have to be from every car, the remaining GT3 and GT1 cars would be great.
    Or do you have a good idea to make the previews in Reiza-style
    Thanks in advance!

    currently not, but i think if Reiza will support skinning this parts, we'll get the templates too.
