    Nice tip, thanks Chrisi, i will use this for my Mini Cooper skinpack (already on RaceDepartement) to make an identical preview for all the cars...
    unfortunately it always needs to wait the side camera :(. Tonight i try to make some previews and i spent more than an hour only to make about 30 screens for some GT3s.
    A little option to choose the right camera, even an hotkey to skip the others, would be already an huge help for the modding commnity to make quality skinpack with appropriate previews, that this great sim deserves.
    Hope that @Renato Simioni and his staff make this possible, sooner or later, thank you :)

    Some of the Reiza liveries have an additional gold color for the wheels (e.g. Porsche Cup 4.0 livery #52) is there a setting we can use to select that additional wheel color for our custom liveries?

    BTW, you'll also have add an Alpha layer to the dds for a Reiza style preview.

    Yes of course, but first of all would be good to have at least an easy method to make identical preview for all skins (without waiting hours only for making screenshots :eek:).
    Obviously the ideal situation would be to have a Reiza style preview generator, but i understand that is not a priority in their actual roadmap.

    I don't avoid it at all, or rather it has mostly worked until now. I'd say I've been lucky.

    I have a question, if anyone can help please. The new Retro G3 have the Mclaren and 2 other models, DFI and Turbo. The McLaren has his own folder with own xml file but the retro G3 seem to have only one folder covering the 2 models(DFI and Turbo). Problem is when working on paints and saving the .dds, both models seem to have the same folder and same xml but also, the same id (51,52,53,etc...). Can anyone help please or let me know if I missed something?
    Thanks

    EDIT: I did a bit of file digging tonight and realized there was two bff files for the retro G3 (Formula_retro_G3 and Formula_retro_G3_TE) and figured I must have deleted a folder in the textures overrides by error or it was really missing. I simply added a folder Formula_retro_G3_TE and copied my files and the Turbo cars are now showing in game. I will leave my question/edit here in case it may help someone. thanks
