Sorry buddy and no prob.... We are here 2 help... So as for the convert use the DDS Converter from here-> http://www.lfs-database.com/in ... nid=92&p13_fileid=485 I use it, it's easy and very good. In data\skins I have only XX.jpeg files and in data\skins_dds... DDS So as for the name of each one of skin use the creators names..... for on-line use(that you can see them when someone else use them)



If still want something else I m here

Edit: I agree with Jack Daniel over me!!!!

Thanks a lot for your reply again!!
I actually had good hope this would work, especially when I saw the dds file and placed it in the skins_dds directory
.. but when I started LFS, I still didnt see the skin!
It still wont load it! :weeping::tombstone
Im starting to think this game will do anything to stop me from having skins

Its so frustrating!!
Im going to reinstall the game tomorrow, and hopefully the skins will actually load.
Thank you all for your thoughts and help!!!

Consider this thread closed

Quote from GAVD999 :

post up one of the skin files and then we can see if anything is wrong with they way its named, size, etc

edit: just seen your other post

it needs to be saved as .jpg not .jpeg

I dont think thats the problem since jpg and jpeg are pretty much the same format, only difference is that jpeg has a bit more info in its file.
But I will try anyway, you might just be right.

Though it wouldn't explain why it would work at my fiends LFS, since he did send me the exact same file he uses and that's a jpeg as well.

Yea I did so too, it is indeed very useful. Thank you

Thank you for your help so far for everyone that replied in this thread.

I will wait a bit longer to see if anyone has a solution, else way maybe I should just reinstall LFS
Since I don't think anything is wrong with what I did to get the skins, it should be in the software right?

Quote from SouvlakiTheBest :

Ok then try this..... SkinXX.jpeg in LFS-data-skins and skinXX.dds in LFS-data-skins_dds

Should i just change the name or convert it somehow? And how can I convert a jpeg format to a dds?

Im sorry for these questions, but im not that good with computers

Quote from Flame CZE :

Remember, they should be like XRT_skinname.jpg or FZR_myskin.jpg.

Yea, I got it like that. For example I got a "RB4_batman.jpeg".
Its alright like this right?

Quote from Whiskey :

Just click on "New color" to choose it in the skin list (or shorten the name if it is too long)

I have already done so. I couldnt find the skin in the list. The names are quite short so that shouldnt be a problem either.

Quote from Seb66 :

Have you uploaded them to LFSworld?

No I have not, since my friend uses it too, and works for him in LFS. So I figured it must have already been uploaded. Should I do so again?

Hey, I got some skins send by a friend and downloaded some custom skins aswel and put them in the data/skins/ folder but when I start playing LFS they wont load in the game. I cant find em anywhere. Anyone knows what I could be doing wrong?

Thanks in advance.

you probably want to change the throttle/brake axis setting.

Thanks for you help, I got it done! It finally works

Hi, im using Logitec Wingman Formula GP. (its a pretty old model, i know).
I just got it cause a friend doesnt use it anymore.
But now I got it installed and connected. It works properly but I cant assign my pedals for gas and brake.
Tho LFS does see em, I can see the Y-as bar moving left and right when im using my brake and gas pedal.
Does anyone know how I can link my pedals to 'gas and brake' in game?

I already tried clicking on it and then push in the pedal to assign it but that didnt work.

Thanks in advance!
