Skins Huge 80's Historical IMSA Carset 0.9

[Steve Rosswick]

This really started as a way to reduce duplicate paints in offline races and I may have gotten a bit carried away...

It has evolved into a carset that includes 49 period-specific paint schemes. Many of these cars bear striking resemblance to iconic liveries from IMSA, SCCA and NASCAR; but because I've had to take some liberties adapting these paints, it leans more towards fantasy than historical.

I originally approached the idea as an 'alternative history' perspective, a scenario where SCCA Trans-Am and IMSAs GTO were merged into one super competitive series that screams ADRENALINE PUMPING, FENDER-TO-FENDER, NEON-FUELED 80s RACING ACTION!

Great set, but cars aren't viewable in the garage. Did I miss something?

Hi
did you read the manual and installed according that cuz you have to unpack in 2 or 3 different folders.

 

[Ryan Soucy]

I double checked the install. Looks correct but still no cars. Typical rF2 beta-ness... What a mess.

 

[Peter Stokman]

ok then i dont know i have the cars np probably you read this but gonna put it just incase i followed this and it worked for me

1) You must have the TOYOTA CELICA GTO v1.0 Mod by 32_Pixels already installed for rFactor 2.

2) Extract the 'CELICA GTO' folder to "rFactor2/UserData/Player/Settings/"

3) Extract 'celica26EXTRA3.dds' to "rFactor2/Installed/Vehicles/Celica GTO/1.00/" where the *.MAS files and *.MFT file are located. This reworks the hard-coded contingency decals without bothering the encrypted *.MAS files.
After install you might have to install the files also inside the rf2 launcher content.

@Ryan Soucy Do you mean you can't see them in the vehicle list or in the 3D preview where you can pan around?

 

[Ryan Soucy]

Thx guys. Yes, I can race the cars. I'm just missing them in the 3D preview.

 

[Joao Fernandes]

3D preview doesn't work with this particular car mod. The fix must come from the creator of the original mod.

Because of that this pack comes with a reference card so you can see the liveries and choose them in game.

 

[Paul Jeffrey]

Nice one, cheers mate

 

[Steve Rosswick]

Thanks for the feedback guys!

I just wanted to post here so it's known... The missing 3D preview is an issue/glitch from the mod builders themselves, the car has never shown up in the spinner. Just a heads up.
