That update is great, thanks a lot! That blue color effect is gorgeous! :confused:
I didn't test it ingame yet but does Alonso still have the yellow T-cam?
I never noticed this before but someone in the review section mentioned it.
Yes Alonso still have the yellow T-cam, I forgot to change it:D. Tomorrow I'll update all the minor things.
 
Still have to the delete the skin.ini to see the helmets xD But this is still amazing and I'm sorry I'm picky :/
 
Those logos on the sides now look much nicer,
thing is with these cars you cant always place them accurate, trick is to try your best for placement in difficult areas, and place it best you can but without warping them on certain angles,
car looks much cleaner with this updated version of the petrobras on the sides :)
Thanks, also with the High logo resolution texture the logos looks soooo good

Oh wait, I must be stupid also,
I added a Tcam mixed into my skins in all the teams and somehow its not there,
1 minute ill go grab the textures :D
 
Look at that mix of ultra hi-poly front wing and beautiful colors of McLaren:D

Hey,
I just noticed some few more stuff that could be improved for the next version, also made some screenshots to support my claims. :D

1. The BR Petrobras logos aren't alligned properly. After comparing to real pictures I think the logo on the left is the correct position and the logo on the right needs to be moved towards the rear.

2. I noticed that the orange color on the side of the frontwing is actually brighter than the orange that's been used on the rest of the car. Maybe you just forgot to adjust the front wing color?
Another thing about the side of the frontwing. Your side is completely orange while on the real car the bottom part is black and curved while the upper part is orange. Is it possible to make the bottom part black and curved?
I also think the Hilton logo should be moved a bit towards the rear of the frontwing endplate, it's a bit too much in the center right now.

3. If you have a very close look you can see that certain parts of the engine fin are in orange although these small parts should be in blue already. So the orange color went a bit too far on certain parts, the edge/border between orange and blue isn't completely accurate.

4. There's a small part on the engine fin next to the number that's not in blue but in grey.

5. Maybe you could move the Renault logos just a little bit forward because right now they are very close to the end of the Bodywork. There should be a little more orange space between the logo and the end of the Bodywork.

6. A small but very nice detail I just found out about:
On the left hand side on the chassis below the Richard Mille logo there's the McLaren Kiwi logo right between Barge board and suspension. But only on the left side, it's not there on the right side!

(Right side => No Kiwi!)

But since the 3d model is (obviously) different I think it would be the best to place the Kiwi right in front of the suspension and above the taller barge board part.

Here's a Kiwi logo you could use, only needs to be mirrored.

Awesome update, we're getting close to perfection on this skin! :thumbsup:
I only found a few things that could be reworked, don't worry, the list won't be long. :D

1. I noticed that the small texture bug that chargingcar mentioned is still there on the testing skins (both drivers), it's gone on the Melbourne versions.

2. Maybe you could resize and change the position of the Kiwi logo? I think it's a little too big and it's also hidden between the suspension parts, it should actually be placed in front of the suspension below the Richard Mille logo, I made an arrow to the correct location on my screenshot.

3. A very small bug that you hardly notice unless you get really close.
The Lat 56 logo on the sidepod wing should be completely white but all the letters/numbers are surrounded by a small orange stripe (You can't even see it properly in the screenshot, it's more visible ingame).

My final thought:
It's great that you adjusted the orange color, I never thought about it but you were right, it was a little too bright and needed adjustment. But now I think the orange is just a little bit too dark, you especially notice it when the sun doesn't shine directly onto the car ingame. Because in that case the orange reminds me more of the 2017 Mclaren orange rather than this year's color.
It's really hard to nail the color perfectly because of the differences in camera/photo settings and the light conditions outside.
Just a small example here, two photos, probably even taken within the same lap.
Same cars, same time, the orange looks completely different.

Here's just a comparison between the 2017 and 2018 cars to show you the differences in color.

Here's a shot from rainy conditions (no direct sunlight shining), but the color is still on the brighter side compared to the current color.

My advice. Brighten up the orange just a little bit but don't make it as bright as it was before, only move a little bit towards the brighter orange (basically between the brighter color from earlier versions and the darker color you are using right now).
It's a small change but I think it will be a big improvement in the end.
I also made a completely professional diagram for better explanation.:roflmao:

Thanks for your hard work on this skin, I almost feel bad when I always come up with new stuff to improve just after you updated your skin. :D
But I think it's worth it!

I dont think I saw one car yet where someone modified the actual Chassis C maps so odd ,
2017 car everyone modified that map , there is a carbon vane that runs up the pod every single screenshot I have seen everyone has left that there would do my head in :D:D

You got style man,
you know what you want and you stop at nothing to take it :D:p
Well, these skins have to be updated. The hi-res logo is optional but having transparent t-cam is not :D

So, just 1 issue to fix and 3 updates to do:
Transparent t-cam bug(probably just an alpha thing)
Removal of RSS logo on the wheels (no offense @chargingcar :D)
Removal of wave italy from the halo and putting the gandys logo
painting the place below the rain light

I added some screens that needs fixing. Other than these, it's done.

Edit: I also added two logos: A higher res airgain logo and the gandys logo for halo
