all,

first time poster, short term racer (i.e. n00b)....

i want to preview skins using the "Live for Speed CMX VIEWER" and understand that you can paste jpgs into the data/skins dir. that isnt working for me and was wondering is there another way to preview skins without placing jpg in /lfs/data/skins and running the main game app.

cheers for help

Not quite sure what you question is, but if you want to preview skins in the CMX Viewer, yes you place them in the data/skins directory. That is the only way.

Then you go and choose the car model first and then the skin in the viewer and you should see it just fine. Make sure you use the reload button if you update the skinfile often and export it with your graphics app.

If you want to preview the skins in the game, just create a new skin profile for the car you skinned, and it should ask you what skin you want for that profile. And tada... it should show in the garage, and out on the track when you exit the garage.

Perhaps you are not exporting to the correct format, and or not exporting with the correct name. The proper skinnames are as like so:

XFG_skinname.jpg
XRG_skinname.jpg
XRT_skinname.jpg
FXO_skinname.jpg
RB4_skinname.jpg
LX4_skinname.jpg
LX6_skinname.jpg
MRT_skinname.jpg
UF1_skinname.jpg
RAC_skinname.jpg
FZ5_skinname.jpg
XFR_skinname.jpg
UFR_skinname.jpg
FXR_skinname.jpg
FZR_skinname.jpg
XRR_skinname.jpg
BF1_skinname.jpg
FO8_skinname.jpg
FOX_skinname.jpg
