iRacing Custom Paint

[little P]

Just thought I'd mention if you are seeing a lot of plain white cars it might be those racers are using custom paint, I found this out through Duke and Wheeldamage when practicing with them.

The URL is http://www.tradingpaints.com/

It uses a small program that runs in the background and you can then see all the custom paint and use custom paints yourself. It really adds to the experience I think.

Enjoy!

The first Fragtard skins are now in the works for the Mazda MX-5 Cup Car.

Unlike previous skins however, each skin is being customized for the driver. Essentially you'll have your full name and "game name" such as Ken "Duke" Lindberg over the car number on the front fender and "game name" on the right rear bumper.

I'm also working on a flag effect where we can have a ghost flag of the country we represent in each scheme.

Lastly, I'll be adding Twitch, YouTube, Facebook, Twitter and Steam Icons to the skins.

Cadillac CTS-V and Ruf are the next to be skinned.

...

It also bears mentioning that the skins will not work for anyone who does not have an account at tradingpaints.com and is below a D-Class License.

Can't wait to see the new livery Duke with the flags on, can I have an England flag please, not the union jack :icon_cool:

All I could get is one shot before my Open GL driver crashed and took Photoshop with it. I swear, Adobe Creative Suite is really going downhill fast :icon_rolleyes:



There's a very subtle Canadian Flag on the hood which will be the flag of the country each driver represents. I've also added a small actual Canadian Flag behind the rear wheel well (you can't see it in this view) as well as Twitch, Steam, YouTube, Twitter and Facebook Icons.

Hmm, I'd make ithe flag a bit less subtile, I really had to look twice before I even saw it.
Looking very good though!

By the time I can have a livery I'd like a Frisian flag on it

The only time i saw a Frisian flag on a car was at a bangerrace.....

SO it should be appropriate in my case

Hahaha, i didn't want to be a dick but....yes

I do love the recorded gameplay tho

I'd be all for it if i had a steering wheel, as i have the feeling i won't last trough the first corner with just WASD

Then get a wheel

If you are into motorsport in any way, joining iRacing for the virtual experience will be the best thing you ever did! (And no I'm not getting paid by them, it's just that damn good)

It wasn't really ever meant to be obvious and I'd like you guys to see it on your cars prior to making any major changes. The reason is that I had to tone it down a lot to this degree so it didn't' stand out like a sore thumb.

Maybe I can revert some of those changes and take some screens of it so you can see the difference and why I believe less is more.

Yeah it looks good Duke, look forward to seeing mine

I'll have yours done by the weekend and will make the hood a bit more vibrant than mine. Depending on what you guys prefer, one will become the standard (for now) for all others to be templated from.

 

[little P]

Looking forward to it mate cheers

Frisian flag for me on the hood please ( http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/c/ca/Frisian_flag.svg/910px-Frisian_flag.svg.png )

You can put a regular dutch flag on the rear bumper though. (or a dutch and frisian)
Please take the '-Jan' part out of my first name as I never use it, and nickname used is Shilka. That should be all info you need right?

 

[Kenadian]

Yup
