Hey mate. Unfortunately, we can transfer a specific part of a car to anothercar.
while we chat earlier, i tried an investigation... or merely an assumption i guess. it's not because carbon file pattern. they are same. even you can replace carbon texture to any of your taste. my assumption is, unlike last year, this game read the LODs different & unique each other. hence the disappering. if you target mat binding to fom, the game can read the model in complete state. but revert to the 1st common livery. but that means if you're making changes to myteam which depends on fom_car, the swapped chassis is also affected.
and if you sacrifice the myteam, then the chassis can be replaced?
you can but you cannot do more than one. if you replace HAAS to FOM and also replace Willams to FOM. any changes between them will affect each other. in a simple means if you change a skin or rim wheel textures from replaced HAAS, replaced Willams is also changed because they are connected in same parent. that's why i'm afraid making chassis swap based on Jb's guide because so far the only way i found is just altering the parent model which cause mess if you are planning a big changes.
well, even you can swap the chassis, but because it reads the first common livery.... put a skin is practically impossible because common livery doesn't have diffuse layer (_d) only has map (_m) & specular. if you change the _m to any skin, the swapped chassis won't read it. just turned into purple. unless you can reverse engineer the model & recode everything.
