rFactor retexture

[DavidArmstrong]

Hello everyone,
I'm trying to modify the steering wheel texture of a mod's vehicle so that there is a coloured marking at the 12 o'clock position (for personal use).
To this end I extracted the .dds from the MAS file, then painted the marking where I wanted and replaced the .dds in the MAS.
Now I can't see any change in game...

Unless I have altered the wrong .dds - is the process itself correct or are there more steps necessary to replace a texture of a mod vehicle, e. g. having to extract the .gmt as well and apply the .dds in there before repackaging everything into the MAS again?

Edit: ok, I indeed got the wrong texture file. I found the correct one in another .mas file and could swap it so that the new texture is used in the game.

This may be of help next time when such an issue arises:

GMT wx

the tool will scan for GMT & texture files and show what materials / textures / shaders where used quick & easy way to check dependecies, mismatches etc supported are rf1,gtl,gtr2,r07 (uncrypted) GMT files

Thanks, maybe it will help next time.

I tried opening the .veh with Vehicle Viewer and 3dSimEd (trial version) in order to find the correct material/texture but with both the model was not displayed at all.
