It was the filter with me. I am sure its filter related. Did you try the filter first? Or it the last thing and after that it was fixed? That info will be very important.

Slowly getting a good overall picture about what still needs to be done (and there is a lot, I assure you).
I have written a whole list about the shapes and sponsor logos that need fixing during the later stages of the process to keep track of everything and I will sort them out one by one - and also double check the ones done so far, once I have the book with the rest of the reference photos.
Also worth to mention, that there is a number tricky connection points present, causing texture warping and mismatch despite of the car's relatively simple and sleek bodyline, but "patience is the warrior's greatest weapon" as the saying goes.
Do you have content manager? If not then download and use it (I resisted using it at first for some reason, but trust me and pretty much everyone else, it's much better than the default launcher), you can get it here: https://acstuff.ru/app/
Once you have it you need to enable developer mode I think, it's been ages since I did it but I think it's done by going to the 'About' tab within CM and then clicking a bunch of times on the version number. Then you should be able to unpack the data as per the following screenshot:
The arms were not, the flags were waiving in the wind though. If this is something that was happening before then my bad. I had never noticed. I read something about dynamic flags though and thought it may of had something to do with that.
I appreciate you taking the time to explain. Thanks. I understand what you're saying. I don't want to undermine the integrity of the tire. I'm going to experiment some more with what we have and maybe just creating a new folder but adjusting only the values that except a certain "odd" size range of tire.I made the tyre machines but not any of the algorithms or original tyre sets. Everything was created using the tyres from Kunos cars and very occasionally what I would declare 'top tier' mod cars. The settings I use are the default settings with padding set at 50% as follows:
Back to your question, you're correct that you won't be able to generate a set of modern slicks for a DRM car due to the size difference. When creating for example the 'Medium Slicks Modern GT' set, if I remember correctly I ticked for the generator to use the Medium compound slick tyres from all the Kunos GT3, GTE and GT2 cars. The resulting tyre is a hybrid of these three types but due to the similar wheel and tyre size that these modern racing machines use, there isn't a lot of flexibility in the size for the generator to use.
To enable generation of a 'Medium Slicks Modern GT' set for a DRM car, I would go re-create the tyre machine, but this time I would add just one set of older tyres to the algorithm, so for example I might add the vintage slicks from the Kunos 1972 Porsche RSR or one of the tyre sets from one of the DRM revival cars. I'd then save this as 'Medium Slicks Modern GT X'. This would dramatically increase the possible size range that could be generated, but it would dilute the quality of the tyres slightly as now, let's say 5% of the final tyre properties would've been derived from 1970s slick tyres. This is why in my existing machines, there's an instruction to use for example ' Street -> Street X -> Street X-Treme ' in that order, as the quality of the tyre generated gets slightly less accurate as you add other tyres to the mix to increase the size range.
I should add that I'm speculating here, as with the majority of CM/CSP functions there's no user manual so I'm basing the above assumptions purely on the results of my own experiments. If it's unclear and you want additional machines added, I'm happy enough to create some more if you give me the parameters you're looking for, it only takes a couple of minutes per created set.
On the Guerilla/other encrypted stuff, I'm sorry but you won't change my mind on it. Anything encrypted goes straight in the bin out of principle, it goes totally against the spirit of this community and modding in general and if it becomes more widespread, all the knowledgeable/helpful people that offer advice and improvements on threads like this will slowly move on to other games and projects.
If some of you want some track to be rework (skin and cam in my case), just ask
I'm always happy to work on tracks people love but think they need some fresh paint
EDIT: DTM Oschersleben upload on RD
A decent/finished TT Assen would be nice too...A DTM skin for TT Circuit Assen would be a nice addition
I were thinking of it since a long time mate, TT Assen is one of the track i like the most, but the only version I found is the one on RD and it's in a really early stage of developpement, if someone finish the track, i would really be proud and happy to make all kind of billboards for it!A DTM skin for TT Circuit Assen would be a nice addition
