AMS2 - User Livery Overrides

Soooooo many sponsors

 

After my F1 Championship hosted in Monza, I discovered a new Bug.
Suits don't work for tracks with a low downforce setup (Only tested with F-Ultimate Gen 2)

For example here at Imola:


And here in Monza:

I also wanted to remember that he Helmets also have a bug. There seem to be a brown/redish color above all Helmets. You can especially see that on white Helmets!

Please note, that under the Spoiler, the White is how it should be.

 

Had an issue with the car models in championship mode with F_USA Gen 2 using custom liveries and drivers..
First race at Fontana Oval and the game correctly loaded the superspeedway model.
Second race at Spielberg GP, where game loaded the same model again instead of the standard high downforce one. Undriveable on that track.
Does not happen in single races, where game always loads the correct car model.

 

Hi, I assume its the same for the Formula Reiza driver suits livery because that doesnt seem to work either

 

Yes, I had some oval first and then Long Beach (F-USA 2), and then I realized I am slow there... I looked - oval spec model was loaded. it was also in championship.

 

Did two short championships (only 3 very short races, but mixed kind of tracks, superspeedway, short oval and road course) with F_USA Gen1 and 3 today, also using custom liveries and drivers. No issues with this car classes.

Will give it a try again with Gen2 tomorrow.

 

I've only seen them work on a few, the ultimate gen 2 for example...

 

Big improvements on the Shaders from my 2022 Liveries to 2023
The new Update to the F1 2023 Skinpack will come very soon!

 

Started a short championship again with F_USA Gen 2 (customised AI and liveries). Just 3 5-lap-races for the test:
Race 1: Fontana Oval
Race 2: Spielberg GP
Race 3: Gateway Oval

Again, in race 2 game loaded the oval model at Spielberg.

Afterwards, I deleted the championship and set up the exactly same one again. This time, before starting race 2, I started it as a race weekend in single player and quit after the race was loaded.
Then I switched back to championship and started the race there. Now, the right low downforce model got loaded by game.

Have now idea if that was the clue or pure coincidence.

 

Shouldn't this be in bug reports?

There's nothing we can do with the livery overrides about this...

 

Tomorrow you can make the Tifosi proud!

 

Did you end up figuring out the matte on the VRC Auriel?

If not I have some info on how to for ya...

 

Wonder if the Mercedes will be easy to make

 

I think so. What would be the most difficult part is to see what's black and what's Carbon. I will also do another version with the silver metallic while I'm at it. So everyone can chose between both as they like.

 

For reference

 

Thanks!

 

Was there any mention of the wheels be able to be painted at some point? Looks like a lot of the F1 teams now have designs on the wheels, would be a nice addition.

Also,
BIG thank you everyone who takes the time to make these great skins for us!

 

I have not. Any info you can forward would be much appreciated.

 

Ok so what you'll need to do is create a new mtx file... First you'll have to find what the paint mtx file is... Then duplicate the file, open the duplicate and add the following line in "alphaparams"...

<define name="MATTE" />

You will also need to change the name of the mtx file which is at the top of the code to match whatever you name the new mtx file...

Then you'll need to add a material override to the livery you want to be matte in the rcf files...

I'm not at my home PC atm so I don't have the exact values for the names...

<REPLACE MATERIAL="vehicles\{Aurial folder name}\original_paint_shader.mtx" NEWMATERIAL="vehicles\{Aurial folder name}\your_new_matte_shader.mtx" />

Then you're matte skins should work...

 

Mercedes also did a Shakedown in AMS2
