    Hey! So i found 2 files at "Automobilista 2/TextureOverrides/International_adv/Tracks/Textures". I redesigned them as DDS files the same way they were, on the windows previes everything looks okay, but no matter what track i load in (Test day mode) it doesn't replace any in game ad..

    Is there anything else i should do for replacing them or it's bugging?

    I don't believe those files actually affect anything in game, having tried to alter them myself. You can test this by removing them both completely from the folder and there will be seemingly no effect in-game. If they were to have any effect, I reckon they would effect the ads seen on the trackside screens in-game, but like I say, having altered (and completely removed) them myself, I have found that they have no effect, as far as I can see.

    I have toyed with these as well with no effect...

    I really hope they get activated at some point... Such a tease to have the folders and nothing be possible with them...

    I would expect for instance Fanatec to have paid dearly for these adverts. Would be logical to have them tucked away somewhere safe deep within the code.

    Yep, and the track files are encrypted so there is also no way to inject them with quickbms

    Doesn't stop track skins existing for other racing titles including EA's F1 series... Which gets far more money from the many trackside sponsors they put in their games...

    Then these files simply wouldn't exist... It's like the custom AI or the livery overrides... These files literally have no need for existence other than the thought of the devs that they will implement track skins...

    They have created the bones so we can edit them ourselves once it's activated without quickbms... It may have been put on the back burner and may never be activated but it's there...
