The DOWNside?
Why do other people need to see it?

Paint.net uses layers afaik. The best way would be to load the default skin in paint.net, make a new layer on top of it and give that layer the color you want the skin to have.
I don't use paint.net, but in Photoshop you can set that colored layer to "multiply". That way the shading of the base skin will stay visible.
Maybe someone who uses paint.net can tell you how it works in that program.
Also, have a look around in the skin help section, you can find some useful stuff in there

Yeah, who do the devs think they are? Having a life and all that.
They're robbing you from your money man, they don't actually work on LFS, they just charge an enormous amount of money and spend their time drinking an having parties with YOUR money! And they all drive Jag's! Using the money you make with your job to buy a house, man that's ridiculous!
You drive around in circles too much. That's just my opinion.
*prepares*
I'm not entirely sure what you mean. Do you want the empty (white) skins in other colors so you can use them as a base for your own skins? Or do you mean to use in game?
If you mean the first, what graphics program are you using? It's quite easy to do if you use a graphics editor that is able to work with labels.
btw, this topic isn't really programmer related

No, you CAN pay for hires IF you want to.
Who said anything about paying for a car? And this is hardly a graphics update, just an extended feature people have asked for which you can take or leave.
You've said this so many times already but you never do. Sadly.
Ontopic: No, I'm not using the hi-res skins service. Maybe I will in the future though, it's just not very important to m right now.

A good example of relying on super shiny HDRI to make a render look "impressive".
Sorry, but the materials and lighting are terrible imo
And there's alot of artifacs mainly on the background.

And there's alot of artifacs mainly on the background.a wide variety of racing, not ANY. Big difference.
The objective of racing is to be as fast as possible and to finish an amount of laps ahead of anybody else. Demolition Derby lacks this objective.
People race with tractors in rl too, that doesn't mean it's supposed to be in LFS just because of that.
Anyway, it's perfectly possible to set up a banger server in LFS right now so it's not needed.
And the "don't be close minded" argument everytime people don't agree with a certain proposed addition is getting old and tiresome.

Reason : spelling
Not only do you lack the brainpower to use a forum search function properly and to think of an effective topic title, you also lack the social skills to interact with people in a civilized way, and to top it all of you are unable to read and notice the answer to your question has already been given.
Way to go
the feeling is mutual

+1 for somehow better readable player names, but -1 for the relative position indicators, it's arcadey and not needed imo. I don't really have an issue with how it is now.
It should be no problem to have multiple LFS installs unlocked.
What exactly doesn´t work? Do you get an error message or are you just unable to connect at all?
Makes me wonder which crappy wheels you have seen and if you even tried any of them. I would even recommend a cheap non-ffb wheel over a gamepad.
As much as I would advice you to get S2 licensed, I would recommend getting the wheel first, as this just adds so much to the driving. That way you can practice with the wheel while you save up money for S2. Then you will probably learn the faster cars quicker because of your practice.
Playing LFS with anything else than a wheel just isn´t right imo.

I think Jimmy is the type of guy who automatically thinks "bigger is better", "more is better" without actually having a clue of what he´s talking about, which is quite obvious if you read his posts.
That´s like re-encoding a 128 kb/sec MP3 to a 320 kb/sec mp3 and saying the latter is of better quality.

Ofcourse you aren't experiencing any lag from using 4096*4096 skins on your AI's. Because of the simple fact they don't use any bandwith now do they? There's that keyword again, bandwith.
It's like talking to a wall.
Who are those high end users you're speaking of? You're the only one I see complaining about it.
You need to get a perspective and understand that it's not just about you and your supa dupa computer, it isn't the standard. It's not just black and white, it's not just high end or low end, there's a big area in between that as well.
And like already said, performance isn't the issue here, it's the bandwith.
right...this may be 2007 but the percentage of players running at such a high resolution is negligible.
It makes no sense to use resolutions higher than 2048 for skins as most people make their skins at 2048 maximum (or lower).
Yup. Matze is right in a way. Minimalistic skins with few color could end up smaller than jpg but the difference wouldn't be that big. With more complicated textures PNG will definitely be a lot bigger. So I don't think it would be worth the trouble and have little benefit, if any.

Some time ago there was a discussion about using PNG. But PNG files are considerably bigger in filesize.
Don't get me wrong, I don't mean the LX8 shouldn't be brought back, I'm just saying I understand the decision the devs made (certainly at that stage of the physics development)
Pointless and silly suggestion. Besides, the music would have to be streamed to all the players resulting in a bandwith devouring process.
Not to speak off the copyright infringement it would cause.

Nothing is being taken away from you, you're not excluded from anything, you are offered the OPTION to use an extended feature. It's there for you to either accept or refuse, and if you choose not to use it, all will remain the same as it was for you.
You would have a point if the devs would say, from now on everyone has to pay for the automatic skin downloading, regardless of skin resolution. Right now, you really have no point and are being a whiner. I can't believe this kind of twisted logic.
Do you expect the devs to be a charitable organisation or something?
good choice imo. most people wouldn't be able to drive it properly anyway. And without the UFR the XFR wouldn't have a competitor, while the LX8 would be a competitor for the GTR's which already have several cars.
So many people are asking for the LX8 while they hardly drive the LX6...
