Hi Guys
Here's my texture update for Macau.
Although this is mainly a texture update, I've included the track with my update as I'm not entirely sure if my updates will work with other versions. This is the best one to my knowledge so hopefully you guys will enjoy my update.

Things to know:
- Have tested the track mostly with hot lapping, the few short races I tried AI seems to behave ok and has no problems with the corners. Any improvements are always welcome.
- As I only know how to do textures or skins, the track texture updates are all in the track skins folder (macau\skins\default)
- Obviously if anyone knows how to repack back into a kn5 file, I would very much appreciate the help
- The track is as I downloaded it, with only the changes made as mentioned above
- If anyone wants to help improve the track I'm sure that we would all appreciate the help
