[Tony]

I have put a tonne of time and effort into the APIA skin.

How's it coming along? @Sun Levi ? Have I almost finished it?

Yes Simon, you may

 

[Tony]

@Chris can you please confirm - is auto blip going to be allowed?
It has never been disallowed in the past as it carries a weight penalty

Michael, open your plr with Notepad, look for the line:
Miscellaneous="0"
and change it to:
Miscellaneous="1"
Then you can zoom in and out by clicking and draging your mouse… Much easier for checking your paint, yes!

I'll do some testing tomorrow. If a weight penalty is in fact given, then yes it'll be allowed, but if there is no weight penalty, then it won't be allowed.

How do we know which assists carry weight penalties and which ones don't?

 

[Chris]

@Sniper
It would seem that auto blip does add a weight penalty, but again, I'll do some running tomorrow to find out just how much of a difference it makes in laptime. It may give an unfair advantage even with the weight penalty.

Also, can anyone enlighten me on how to get my driver a yellow helmet, the white one clashes terribly as you can see

Well, you first need a template: grab the StockV8 templates in the official templates thread, as it includes the helmet. But it has not been updated since SCE and does not include an alpha channel: so grab also the helmet from an original ACR cars (for example …/steamapps/common/Automobilista/GameData/Vehicles/ARC_Camaro/Teams/ARC_Camaro_01Helmet.dds) and rename it. The helmet must have the same name as your car, with "helmet" added at the end (ie. TEAM_DRIVER_112.veh and TEAM_DRIVER_112Helmet.dds).

Thanks Alex, your a legend

Hi @Chris, is it ok to sign up as a reserve driver if I'm not sure of my availability on race days? I didn't want to sign up earlier as I may have to miss many rounds, but would it be ok to sign up as a reserve and potentially miss a round even if a slot opened up for me?

Yes that's fine

 

[Otune]

Yes that's fine

Nice, thanks

Also, am I able to submit a skin as a reserve driver? I'd like to but I understand if you don't want the skin pack too bloated.
