SimRacing.org.uk

We're going to try using http://tradingpaints.com/ (http://tradingpaints.com/) (iRacing forum topic (http://members.iracing.com/iforum/thread.jspa?threadID=66683&tstart=0)) to distribute skins; I suggest putting the text "SimRacing.org.uk" in your uploaded skins so that we can all find them easily, and then posting here in this thread to let people know what you've uploaded.

We'll see how it goes...

I've created two lists to manage the skins.

Skip Barber;
http://www.tradingpaints.com/view/list/94

Dallara Indycar;
http://www.tradingpaints.com/view/list/96

When you post to this thread that you've uploaded a skin, I will add it to the list, the lists should make it easy to download everyone elses skins

To be clear, the skins are entirely optional, either uploading or downloading.

If you don't download them, you'll see whatever paint has been selected by the user in the iRacing paining area. I suggest the grids will look a lot more atmospheric with them though.

It would be good to get them done before the first race of the season, 2 Feb for the Skip Barber, 9 Feb for the Dallara.

SimRacing.org.uk Skip 16529 (Adam Parle)

Added to the list.

Added my Skip Barber to the list.

Added Don's Skippy

SimRacing.org.uk Dallarra16529

Added Adam Parles and Paul Richards Dallara's.

how do you paint your own?

Start here Rob;
http://members.iracing.com/iforum/thread.jspa?threadID=62530&tstart=0

You need the templates (which were included in the last build) and Photoshop (or similar graphics package).

Yeah I got the templates for all cars, its just like knowing how to use Adobe Photoshop, I know its all layers, but where can i get a logo from, how do i resize it so its fits on the side of the car?

Logos here.. http://www.brandsoftheworld.com/

Is there a 3d viewer we can view the file while editing!?

Dumb question, once downloaded, which folder do we put the skin files in?

Nope!


For me it's C:\Users\Adam\Documents\iRacing\paint\cars\rt2000 (Win 7 file structure), it's within iRacing in your documents in any case.

Although there's no 3D viewer it's not as much of a pain as you might imagine.

Once you've saved your TGA file in the right place, just fire up a practice session and you can view your work. With the customisable camera's it's easy to spin round and see how it looks.

The Skip Barber template is pretty easy to work with, they seem very well laid out which helps.

Added Paul Richards Skip Barber to the list.

BTW, if you download the skins all at once in a zip file from TP it will create the appropriate directory under 'cars' to drop it into.

Cheers Adam  :)

These skins are going to be hard to track down when you've got no naming consistency  :-\

For Legends so far we have sponsors of

SimRacing.org.uk
Legendsracing.net
www.legendsracing.net

and equally a set of inconsistent descriptions  ::)

RTFM!!!!!


There doesn't need to be any naming consistency. I add them to the list and they can be downloaded in one handy zip file.

I wonder how long it will be before someone comes up with a background p2p service/app that handles automatic downloading of skins of cars in your race/division/series etc.  I'm sure something could be done on this front by the iRacing community and it would be really cool to be able to race against people's in their own car liveries.

Shame that iRacing can't do it themselves, but I can see that they'd potentially open themselves up to various copyright issues.

Cheers, Ross.

I did, I read Dave's original post. I didn't notice chapter 2  :-*


Sorry and thanks :)

Did anyone (other than Legends Racing members) use the skins? Everything OK?

Having read Chapter 2 I downloaded them. Looked fine here :)

Mine's there under SimRacing.org.uk

:)

Good stuff Paul. Added to the list.

Are you sure it's yellow enough though? :laugh:

Just watch out for the patch he's working on, throwing out banana skins just like you do in SuperMarioKart ;D

Gary

Added mine under simracing.org.uk  :)

I've added Brendans Skip to the TP list. Apologies that took me such a long time ::)

Team Shark Dallaras are downloadable HERE (http://www.motormania.plus.com/teamshark/ts-dallaras.rar) while we get them up onto TP. :)

New Team Shark skins download:

Formula Mazda (http://www.motormania.plus.com/teamshark/TS-FormulaMazda.rar)
Riley DP (http://www.motormania.plus.com/teamshark/TS-RileyDP.rar)
Late Model (http://www.motormania.plus.com/teamshark/TS-LateModel.rar)

Will the Late Model still be used? I've downloaded the templates and have finally got the Oval B license when the month ends (Road will be C). I mainly race ovals on iRacer (trucks are great :) )

Hoping to trade paint with you guys soon ;)

We only ever used the Late Model for some fun races.

There doesn't seem to have been much enthusiasm here for the custom skins in iRacing.

OK Thanks Pops, I'll leave my cars as they are then and use the time to find that extra 0.01 second on the track...

Team Shark Corvette, Mustang and FW31 skins downloadable now.

Corvette (http://www.motormania.plus.com/teamshark/TS-c6r.rar)
Mustang (http://www.motormania.plus.com/teamshark/TS-fr500s.rar)
FW31 (http://www.motormania.plus.com/teamshark/TS-FW31.rar)

These contain skins for all Shark drivers, they can then upload them to their Trading Paints accounts :)

Everyone else just needs to extract into the relevent car paint folder.

My own Corvette and Mustang skins are uploaded to TP.

Cool - added to the list :)

My Mustang is in there.

My Mustang uploaded as well

Was asked to use this at another league this week to sync skins!?
Worth a look??

http://www.simsync.de/news.php

Possibly for the future - but I think we should stick with TP for now.  It's not ideal - but I think more people are "au fait" with it.

If I can give folk a friendly nudge to get thier skins uploaded that would be good - it was nice to see some of the custom skins on there .... even the acursed Shark ones :D

Mustang uploaded..

Mustang uploaded

Martin Mason

simracing.org.uk

 ;D

Franck Chaigneau has given me permission to use all his Gulf skins, so my C6R skin is there now, minus the French flag!

(http://www.tradingpaints.com/scripts/image_car.php?car=22171)

Good stuff Nick - I saw those on Trading Paints ... pretty sweet :)

Very nice indeed! Better get my skates on with ours!

I don't know about everyone else - but I was expecting you to be off pace ... skin production and all! :D

Right then gents ... so far we have the following in the Trading Paints List:

Nick Phillips Chevrolet Corvette C6.R
Martin Mason Ford Mustang FR500S
Robert Lawrie Ford Mustang FR500S
Adam Parle    Chevrolet Corvette C6.R

I've just finished mine:

Trading Paints (http://www.tradingpaints.com/view/22713)

Added - give me a nudge when the rest of the FT-Ninecraft Racing skins are up there and I'll add James and Simon's to the list.

Jeez what a picture :o. Is that straight screenshot or is it liberal use of photoshop?

Adam, Simon's is here (http://www.tradingpaints.com/view/22731) and James' is here (http://www.tradingpaints.com/view/22787). The mirrors and lower front bumper are coloured per-driver.

Spanner, that's a 'light' photoshop. :)

Edit - Olly will be joining us too, his is here (http://www.tradingpaints.com/view/22804).

Done and done.

Nice idea with the mirrors etc.

Done:

:) - another one added to the list.

Hi Adam,

I don't think you saw Jamie's edit:

http://www.tradingpaints.com/view/22804

This is my skin for FT-Ninecraft.

Thanks.

Arrgh - more FT-Ninecraft drivers :D

I'm surprised you Minecraft drivers have any time to practice with all those zombies around when it goes dark....

http://www.tradingpaints.com/view/21000

Even though it's bad quality since I'm horrible at painting it still looks nice from a distance, I think  ;D

The Marc VDS team are horrible at painting too :D

... as a fan of the team (it stems from them racing the Vertigo a few years back) I think it looks very nice :)

Sorry for the late posting,  Phoenix Racing Car Skins for Ian Bassi and Ben Summers,

Thanks Mike for painting them :)

Sorry Adam - running late with mine too, would you mind doing the honours please?

http://www.tradingpaints.com/view/22997

I don't know .... hooliganism last night, now this ....


;)

Hahaha I know, I'd been putting it off for days but finally got something done this avo - bit of a WIP, I still can't find those damn vents behind the arches. Probably best I concentrate on practice for a bit now though I reckon :0)

How do you guys view your cars btw - seems to be a right pain to get the camera angle I want to check stuff's lining up etc. I'm just driving about guessing where the cameras are placed roughly - am I missing something obvious??

CTRL-F10 (or maybe F12) gives you the ability to move the cameras.

Got it - top man!

Save a short replay on the centripetal circuit (seems to load quicker than others).  Put it in chase view and use CTRL-F12 to move the camera.

Ahh liking your thinking Brendan, thanks for that - I spent a lot of time buggering about with trying to look at it yesterday but that should do the trick.

While I'm asking dumb questions - I do have some others if somebody would be so kind...

1) Where is the vent grill thing just behind the front wheel arch on the Vette!? I've looked at the parts in the PSD and will be damned if I can see it. I've got a wedge shaped gap in the pattern along the side of the car the moment!

2) Any ideas why the paint on the rear wing main section isn't showing?? It's clearly there if you look at the TGA but doesn't come through on the car for some reason.

3) If somebody could point out the front splitter face in the PSD that would be handy too. I wish they labelled these things I really do!

The "parts" are overlaid on the tga - there's nothing you can do with that one I'm afraid.

What I used to do in the GPL days was create a skin which was a simple gradient from left to right.  I could then look at it applied to the car and get a pretty good idea of where each part was on the template from it's colour.

Team RVS C6. http://www.tradingpaints.com/view/23661

Dan Minton_21962

Thanks

Nice .... and added :)

Also one for my new team mate .   http://www.tradingpaints.com/view/23665


GizMoto_ 37999

Thanks  ;)

I've replaced my car on Trading paints with the one painted by Dan so using trading paints down-loader will now automatically update my car to the new paint

thanks Dan

You can't upload them for other drivers - at least I think that's the case.  I tried uploading the skins for the other Legends guys and it didn't work.

I've added Ian's one - rather than the one you've created.  To avoid any confusion, it's probably best if you remove that one Dan.

Didnt know that , ill remove it   ...ta mate.

With luck I've uploaded a C6R and Mustang for myself in Team Shark colours. Thanks to Mike Wrightson for making these :)

Finally done my Mustang and it works :) -http://www.tradingpaints.com/view/24010 (http://www.tradingpaints.com/view/24010)

This isn't Superleague Formula you know Colin! ;)  Actually Arsene's face on me Vette could look quite snazzy as it goes....

Ok OK City are only 2nd in the Premier League..... ;D
I might put Rooneys face on the back end of the car to make everyone back off!

Team RVS Indy car for myself.

http://www.tradingpaints.com/view/24142

Thanks

Right  that should be everything up to date.

Team RVS Indy car for myself.

thanks to Dan for the paint job

I keep forgetting to add my Vette to this list, so here it is before I forget again!

http://www.tradingpaints.com/view/18222

Should be slightly easier for the Mustangs to spot in their mirrors, rather than my default black scheme ;)

Hopefully we will have some truck racing soon here so here is my Silverado... http://www.tradingpaints.com/view/24597 (http://www.tradingpaints.com/view/24597)

Better late then never......

Hi Gents,

Brendan has kindly done this for me :)

http://www.tradingpaints.com/view/25432

Finished mine off and uploaded the update - Ross and Spanner's to follow...

http://www.tradingpaints.com/view/22997

Very nice  :punk:

Here's my Corvette skin - many thanks to Oily

http://www.tradingpaints.com/view/25487

Am I right in thinking that Adam needs to manually add skins to this list:-

http://www.tradingpaints.com/view/list/1607

...and then I need to download all the skins on that list prior to the race? Is that correct?

Cheers, Ross.

Yes, though it's not compulsory.

Is there a quick way to download them all?

Hi Robin

Go to the site, log in, search for simracing.org.uk and just download them by select the ones you want. Follow the info and off you go.  If you use the desktop version it even put's the files in the correct folders for you :)

I downloaded and installed Tradingpaints Desktop downloader (see under download).
In the Desktop Downloader I searched on SROUK in Search Lists, selected SROUK Enduro, and just downloaded them all (C6R and Mustangs). It even installs all the skins for me, nice and easy :).
On the site itself, I didnt find half of those that the Desktop Downloader found.

Colin,

You are a star. That Desktop downloader is immense!

All present and accounted for now :)

See you gents on the server shortly :)

Team Oldie paint job ready to be downloaded from Trading Paints!!

(http://www.tradingpaints.com/scripts/image_car.php?car=25641)

Nice!! ;D

My skin can be found here http://www.tradingpaints.com/download/26030 Cheers Brendan :)

yes have to agree with that, very easy and I also use Option button to subscribe to vehicles, autorun, autodownload and delete old skins. zero maintenance

Another skin to add to the growing pile.

http://www.tradingpaints.com/view/28014

mmmm. That's........







pink ;D

Updated my skin to the new Pseudo one.

Hopefully this will just replace the old one when you download it.

http://www.tradingpaints.com/view/28387 (http://www.tradingpaints.com/view/28387)

Thanks to Adam  8)

Now I am racing the Dallara on the ovals, here's my newly painted car http://www.tradingpaints.com/view/28909 (http://www.tradingpaints.com/view/28909). Managed 9th place in my first race at Indy, next up - Michigan  :)

Cheers

Colin

No worries Dimm, cool shot too! :)

Mustangs for Raimo and Dario will be ready in time for Saturday night practice - just need to personalise the blasted things.

Stang's done - would you mind doing the honours please Adam?

http://www.tradingpaints.com/view/29272

Here's mine

http://www.tradingpaints.com/view/29281

Could you add mine again please, I accidentally deleted my skin so it's no longer in the list. Cheers!

http://www.tradingpaints.com/view/27455 (http://www.tradingpaints.com/view/27455)

All done :)

Yeah sorry I deleted mine also, can you add it back to your list?  :angel:

http://www.tradingpaints.com/view/29285

Nice skin Jasper - looks sweet!

I've added a Corvette skin

How do I get it added to the Endurance list?

Cheers
Gary

Done.

Here is one I made for the Jetta TDi.

I put the SROU and UKiR logos on it.

Sorry I don't know how to get a screenshot from it in-game.
