Want to have matchy matchy car and race driver suit... well it's not too hard to achieve :thumbsup:

The files that you will be editing are found here:

...\Documents\Assetto Corsa Competizione\Customs\Drivers

which are:

driver1.json
driver2.json
driver3.json


Where driver1.json is you, and the other two are your co-drivers.

Firstly, you need to use the in-game editor to paint up your helmet to suit as desired, as this can not be changed any other way at this point.

Now, as in the above, I will use Castrol Honda for this example.

1 go to Single Player

10 select Quit

Now, close ACC completely.

Navigate to this folder:

...\Documents\Assetto Corsa Competizione\Savegames

This is where all you saved games are stored and would look something like this

sort by Date modified as you are looking for the newest files saved.

Open the xSE.json in notepad, where x will be a number that changes depending on how many saved games you have. In this example, 3SE.json

Ctrl+F
to bring up the search and enter your drivers' last name, in this example Guerrieri

Tip - untick Match case as this makes it a lot easier to find entries...

It should look like this:

Code:
                        "drivers": [
                            {
                                "info": {
                                    "firstName": "Esteban",
                                    "lastName": "Guerrieri",
                                    "shortName": "GUE",
                                    "weight": 80,
                                    "nationality": 14,
                                    "driverCategory": 2,
                                    "helmetTemplateKey": 149,
                                    "helmetBaseColor": 0,
                                    "helmetDetailColor": 0,
                                    "helmetMaterialType": 0,
                                    "helmetGlassColor": 0,
                                    "helmetGlassMetallic": 0.0,
                                    "glovesTemplateKey": 200,
                                    "suitTemplateKey": 365,
                                    "suitDetailColor1": 0,
                                    "suitDetailColor2": 0,
                                    "playerID": "1",
                                    "aiSkill": 78,
                                    "aiAggro": 70,
                                    "aiRainSkill": 50,
                                    "aiConsistency": 50
                                }
                            }
                        ]

The two entries you need are "glovesTemplateKey" & "suitTemplateKey". I know that you can saw and got all excited that there was a "helmetTemplateKey" but sadly, this call up does not work in your driver .json.

Make a note of the two call up numbers and now open your driver1.json in notepad that will look something like this:


Code:
{
    "firstName": "Günthar",
    "lastName": "Rowe",
    "shortName": "ROW",
    "nationality": 40,
    "driverCategory": 3,
    "helmetTemplateKey": 511,
    "helmetBaseColor": 530,
    "helmetDetailColor": 508,
    "helmetMaterialType": 1,
    "helmetGlassColor": 501,
    "helmetGlassMetallic": 0.0,
    "glovesTemplateKey": 96,
    "suitTemplateKey": 365,
    "suitDetailColor1": 0,
    "suitDetailColor2": 0,
    "playerID": "0",
    "aiSkill": 100,
    "aiAggro": 50,
    "aiRainSkill": 50,
    "aiConsistency": 50
}

and edit the "glovesTemplateKey" & "suitTemplateKey" values to match those that you found in the xSE.json and save the file.

Launch ACC and go to your Driver Profile and you should now see your drives in their new race suits and gloves.

I personally didn't like the gloves that the driver I copied had, so changed them.

Glove template keys are - 1-14, 30-36, 50-52, 70-73, 90-97

Please note that if you use the in-game driver editor, it will overwrite your customised file.

This is very cool. The uniforms are still restricted to what one can find from the official teams, right? The Castrol one worked for your car not because it used logo stuff from the livery you made but because there is a Castrol uniform for drivers officially in game, correct? So I can’t take my custom livery and make it appear on the drivers in any fashion because custom cars drivers are just blank?
