Skins des Texas Drivers: 82 et 21.

Loving the mod!

Made a simple skin in several colors for it! If you like it feel free to use it for the mod!
Attached 2 screenshots and 2 of the 4 color skins. (also got a Blue and Green one).

Kit Car progress: finished default skins, minor shading fixes and added some minor dashboard details. Made some tests with various tire sizes and compounds.

Found out, that an original 185/65 R15 gravel tire size from a Michelin catalog cannot be replicated in the LFS Editor, because there is a different ratio between width and thread. In LFSE thread is much smaller and car understeers badly. To preserve an original thread, 200/55 R15 is needed. With such tire the car can compete with TBO class, however, it is too large for rear mudguards Finally, I decided to use 195/60 R15 tires. Thread is still too small, but the size is compatible with the current V1600 class used by the LFS Rally Community

Did a multiple tests with this size and found out, that now even slicks can be used, without flipping the car on roof every 5 seconds. Added a default racing setup with slicks and a terrain setup inspired by 1997 Rally Acropolis. Still working on dashboard panels.

Per the regulations, you are required to run a skin with elements that we provide. You can find numberplate per category, LFSES Logo and NDR Logo.

The series logo and the NDR logo are provided for your convenience in the pack.

For the number, you must use a police that is easy to read, visible and simple. Everything sans serif is good. We also need the number to be in White, to be visible

Please make sure skins are posted no later than 2 hours before a round, to make sure we have time to generate the skin pack.

For approval:

LOD2 tris could be reduced a bit, also the LOD3 skins mappings are mirrored.
The logo is too similar to the original one, should be edited (at least letters B and W should be removed).

Otherwise is good.

There are some gaps in LOD2 (tris could be reduced a bit), also the LOD2/3 skins mappings are mirrored.
The sound is clipping a bit too much.

Otherwise -

New textures have been added and details continue to be increased. Currently the engine, physics and weight balance tubes have been adjusted. The interior cockpit seems to tire me out but it will be worth it.

Engine info :

1.5 litre inline 4
97 kW (130bhp) 3819 rpm
322 nm (238lbft) 1808 rpm
total mass : 1425 kg

These values ​​are close to the real ones.

*I am thinking of doing the following in the next post:

interior cockpit and details.
skins template.
internal indicator and display animation
I will improve the modeling of the steering wheel a little more.

see you in the next post
