Hey Adam, only some cars support the 'Windscreen' texture override, it's been there for quite a while :) . It controls the windscreen sun visor / banner you see at the top of the windscreen from inside the car only (cockpit view). For cars that support the banner, there's usually a banner template available for you to customise that comes with the car template from Reiza. Like I mentioned that Windscreen banner specified in the XML is only visible from inside, it has no effect on what the car looks like from outside. For that outside windscreen banner you have to paint on the car template itself. One other important thing to note, i our league we noticed that if a car does support the Windscreen texture in the XML file and you don't specify one, you get a strange fogging / dirt build up on the windscreen after about 5 laps. This can be really hard to see through depending on lighting conditions on track. So if the car supports a banner, it's best to always specify and use one, to avoid the fogging issue. Hope that helps :)

@@DeanLawrence74 It does, but I do have a follow up question. I was looking at the Chevrolet Omega, and I can't find a way to actually paint the body, can you advise?

@@BOTRacing I haven't tried painting the Omega, but it looks like the template (Omega_Stock_Car_template.psd) comes with a bunch of decal layers already in it that you can turn off or delete, and a black base paint layer. Without trying it myself I'd just suggest deleting everything except the wireframe layer and then create your painting layers below that wireframe layer.

Hey Adam, your MetzVR livery brought me to this video, I’m going to try to make my own 👍🏼

@@DeanLawrence74 Thanks Dean, sorry for the delay. I have been painting cars like crazy. Yes, deleting them did work, but so does just turning them all off and placing a new layer at bottom to use as a paint layer. Thanks again for this video, it is so satisfying seeing the finished product

Hey Lucas, I'm not too familiar with how GIMP works with alpha sorry. I did a little tutorial over here using paint.net . Maybe GIMP works in a similar way? ua-cam.com/video/LBiFycuXw1s/v-deo.html

All good got it sorted, had to add the alpha channel after i converted to .dds, GIMP wont convert the file with the alpha channel beforehand, cant wait to finish my first car, thanks again for the guide

@@DeanLawrence74 yeah ill be checking that out next, once i think of a good metallic car to make

Yeah that cart is crazy fast. Not much in the way of safety built in to something so quick. Would be scary IRL.

Hey Kris, once you've completed the livery, go to the games showroom, line up the car and take a photo of it from the side using the take photo button. That will save an image in your 'Documents\Automobilista 2\screenshots' folder. Open it that up in your image editor, crop and resize to 2048 x 600 px and save as a dds in the same folder as your custom livery. In the XML put the path to your preview image into the <PREVIEWIMAGE PATH="myFolder\myPreviewImage.dds" />

@@DeanLawrence74 thanks mate awesome 👍

Great to hear Learny, glad it helped. Once you start it's very addictive. Good luck with the livery :)

Glad you enjoyed it!

@@DeanLawrence74 Do you plan on doing the same thing for custom helmet ? :D I can't get it to work in blender preview with the 10s full helmet ...

Agreed!
