Here is the Lotto livery:

I would like to add one things though, since I can't get my head around the livery: some stripes along the bodywork with the colours of the belgian flag.

Pedro Fernandez will drive the No.15:

And Naas Botha will drive the No.30

Hinchcliffe will run #33.

I'd like a livery similar to Chilton's IndyCar livery for the Mazzacane Motorsport cars.

Axel, would you mind posting a list of liveries that are yet to be done please? I'm willing to help out with a couple once I've got my head around the templates, but I'm not sure which ones you've started on.

Cheers!

Uhm okay
Definitely I will paint my own cars.
Normal32 had painted Juncos and Laziers, only to paint it on the wrong template (in Chevy when the choice is Honda)
Miguel98 have finished 99% his livery
The rest that I not mentioned are the ones which are yet to be done.

I am struggling with the template so my car will literally be plain with a single sponsor and number if that's alright.

Post by **Ataxia** » 29 Feb 2016, 13:33

I'll take the Carrera Granada and the Euromotor, in this case.

Patience! You've made two previous requests, someone will get around to it.

Assuming Axel's got all of the existing Ganassi liveries, the NTT Data livery will already be on the grid, so you might want to take something new...and take a look at your shift keys and caps lock whilst you're there.

Axel, if you want to give the three car team to someone else that's perfectly acceptable, providing I can keep two cars.

No, this full-time is only one car, and you offered your remaining TBA car to be taken for other full time team. So you will only have De Vries and Jaafar. Got it?

Edit after some hours, finally manage to look at the livery.

:shock:

Wow those are nice Ataxia!

Post by **Ataxia** » 01 Mar 2016, 21:22

Axel, here's a fresh batch of liveries, hot off the press. This folder includes:

- 3x EuroInternational
- 1x Euromotor
- 2x Mazzacane Motorsport
- 4x Carrera Granada

Pictures for all are a few posts above.

Thanks Ataxia! Although I need the "decryption key".
How do you manage to put the livery quite dark in the game? My own painting and to-dds conversion resulted in a very reflective painting in-game

Ah, demmit...here's the link you need:
https://mega.nz/#!hA1jVA4K!wu3lAk3epAIO ... 7UNWLnh7ss

What I do is open the .png in Paint.NET, click Layers/Layer Properties and then take the opacity down to about 50. Then save as a .dds.

Looks pretty good!

Also, I'd like to enter a part-time Ganassi for Kazuki Fushida to do the Indy 500. He'll run in the #17 car, if you have Charlie Kimball's livery then I think that'll be fine.

I'll also help out with some Newman-Haas and Dale Coyne liveries, but that'll have to be it I'm afraid.

Keep in mind that Fushida is an oval specialist. His results on road circuits may be poor, but he won one of the Motegi Oval races in SANDWICH.

No problem at all.

We shouldn't go to Boavista. The track doesn't suit IndyCar.

If you want a round in Portugal, go to Algarve or Estoril. Or better, instead of a round in Portugal, come to Spain, to Motorland or Catalunya.

Here's the Newman-Haas liveries, which I'll send over with the Dale Coynes when I've done them:

I'm going to have to support this. Porto would be much too dangerous for high-powered single seaters to race on, and I would preferably recommend a track like the ones Miguel mentioned above, or another road course elsewhere in continental Europe like Paul Ricard or Mugello.

Mosport unfortunately can't go on calendar. There's some issue that I don't really know at turn 7 that makes AI runs wide and proceeds to create pile-up every several laps. With us lacking street races I found a great replacement: San Jose Street Circuit! I found this in the net which is not the horrible 2005 layout and not accurate 2007 layout, so technically this is the "2006" layout with 2006 sponsors and model based on 2005. I have made tests with this and no issue can be find. Distance 100 < x < 120 laps, TBA

On the other note, I remind you again the full livery attempt will start on 12th April. Exam > Canon

You mean Jack Harvey will skip the greatest spectacle in racing only? That's something.

I demand to put Haryanto on 88 car for Indy

Yes, this will be the last entry for the season, the amount now is just on the limit of manageable

I would have to request someone painting liveries for my team. Given as I am Andretti, I would not object to using the Andretti liveries that surely are part of the mod with adjusted car numbers if that is more convenient.

Livery announcement

Due to a huge amount of cars and limited time to run this, I won't make any videos except when huge crashes happen, thus livery is no longer needed now. Real world teams and some done cars already have their skins implemented so it will remain that way, for the rest of the car I will just make a simple livery for the sake of easily to observing drivers.

IndyCar Press wrote:Phoenix's Downforce is Ridiculously High
Following pre-season test at Phoenix Raceway, several drivers and ex-drivers complained that the short-oval downforce level at Phoenix is so high, that it will hurt the racing. The fastest time by Conor Daly and Felix Serralles averages 195.64 mph or 314.79 km/h. Luckily IndyCars have tested the lower downforce configuration of speedway wings at Phoenix, which decided to mandate that Phoenix and Milwaukee will run lower downforce set-up. As another info Indianapolis, Michigan, Fontana, Pocono, and Texas World will use super-speedway configuration, the lowest downforce available. Darlington and Rockingham will use speedway configuration.

The graphics on short oval will still short oval wing but the downforce level is low.
