The model and it's textures were made by Simracing, from the game GT-Legends, edited, modified, and other improvments by MF

Oh, yeah, I guessed that it was the model from GT Legends. Thanks for bringing it to our sims! The recolors make me drool and want to restart my raceway theme!
I only wondered why the files are as big as my much bigger HQ textures for the planes I did. It was because of the RAW format. I took the liberty to redo them in DXT5 format, practically no visible diffference but a lot smaller files after compressorizing!

https://rapidshare.com/files/568299927/ ... colors.rar (4.6 MB, as small as one of your recolor packs, only that this one includes ALL recolors.

)

Edit: I take that back, it IS a difference.

thanks a bunch psychsim, you really didn't have to do that!

I knew about the issue with the image compression leading to large files, but the reason why I didn't use any of the image compressors, is because I found out (with tons of research on this issue) that even a small amount of compression to the actual image can cause distortion, like pixelation and funny discolored splotches, much more so to images that already have been reduced in size, such as the textures for the recolors, they where twice as big as they are now currently in the file, so what I was looking for was to have the images small enough that the compressorizer, but at the same time, trying to prevent loss of detail to the textures, but that's just me, thanks again for your help!

Well, I spared myself the research and just looked if I could see any change when the texture updated in SimPe. :lol:

I looked in places with fine details like small text. I don't think you'd notice a difference unless maybe you zoom in close to microscopic scale in the game.

That's true, I'm just little picky when it comes to textures and pick whatever looks best :lol:
