Hi There,
I tried a race with the McLaren Mp412c GT3 & my PC struggled with myself & tried 14 extra cars. I Thought it was perhaps time to upgrade some components - maybe it still is! However, I noticed that there is some considerable variation in the file size of many Skins
Many of the excellent user contents skin file sizes are over 20 Meg. Is it to do with the DDS format they are saved in? For example, the superb looking http://www.racedepartment.com/forum/threads/mclaren-mp4-12c-gt3-bhai-tech.83641/ is 21 meg, the http://www.racedepartment.com/forum/threads/drive-energy-drink-mp4-12c-gt3.83848/ is also over 21 meg.
The equally good http://www.racedepartment.com/forum/resources/mclaren-mp412c-gt3-2011-united-autosports.1816/ is only a tad over 4 meg.
So I can run my race (and when I get round to do my own skins) how can Skin file size be kept down?
Thanks,
Phil
