    I wouldn't be driving mod cars if they couldn't get the physics of AMS2 implemented. The same with tracks...if it feels off.

    Missed that! But still, never take my posts too serious either!

    Never actually had problems using the dss plugin on any device or PS version. Just dropping a file into the plugin folder...... checking Hot Damn, you need to login now?! FFS, bastards! I guess that's what temporary email generators are for xD (should still be just drag & drop files from zip, no installer afaik)

    or try this: GitHub - fnordware/AdobeDDS: DirectDraw Surface image format plug-ins for Adobe apps

    Yeah I know Pandy.
    But Im too old to bother to learn a new paint program.
    PShop and my favorite the fantastic simple MS PhotoDraw 2.0 is enough :p

    GIMP is free and comes with everything you need to paint liveries, no need to install plugins and other sh*t.

    The only issue is getting used to GIMP hotkeys and overall behaviour, which are very different from PS.

    Yeah, best if you start off fresh. If you're used to other software, the interface is/was horrid (haven't tried it in a bit). Though Adobe is far from my favorite company.

    You can use Photopea, an online Photoshop Clone, completely free, no need to install anything

    Actually I did a bit of searching and was contemplating sending the file via pm, but found where I recall I've most likely always got it from: IntelĀ® Texture Works Plugin for Photoshop* by GameTechDev
    Page seems familiar, afa I can see, same file as the previous github link

    ZIP link in top right corner. Instructions on page, guess it was not just the one file (as I have the others too seemingly)

    OK you are really helpfull. Thank you.:)
    Hehe download was perfect.
    Even too perfect I thought until I did read the How to install and saw that the plugin was for CS6.
    And when I checked my PShop is only CS5.
    Dooh.:mad:
    I will try to install this plugin anyway - but I have a bad feeling of how it will go.
    But if I only get some error then I think my next step will be to instead try to find a converter that can convert one of the many formats from my favorite paint program the mentioned MS Photodraw to the DDS format AMS2 does accept.
    Or maybe use Gimp as such kind of converter - if that is possible.

    ByTheWay: The reason Im pretty keen to use Photodraw instead of Gimp or PShop is that this rather old paint program is able to do some rather fancy thing because its a combination of a pixel program and a vector program. Hehe and I know it in and out :p

    For me, the GT1 cars are the ones that really shine with this 1.5 update, or atleast they've been the ones I've been obsessed with. The ones I personally can't wait for everyone to try.

    Also I spy something very intriguing in this picture, especially considering one of the announcements that was made in this dev update :whistle: let's not get too excited yet, but it's a good sign. IMG_20230720_182000_333.jpg

    I was told Renato accidentally deleted the file from his computer. We now have to wait for a new write up with a two weeks wait time. Or longer if his memory capacity failed.
