The F3500 Livery Thread

I made Schumacher's F1-2000 and the EJ11. The EJ11 was a lot of trial and error to find the decals that I could use for the shark nose, because there is nothing premade that even come close to the real decals. I think I did ok

The real thing

I make liveries as a way to decompress. I often download liveries from others, but sometimes I get something stuck in my head, especially over the last few days. So, even though there's hundred of these liveries out there, I made my own versions.

This is the Benetton 193 based on Schumacher's 1993 Portuguese GP winner. Most people do the B192 and I like to be a little different.

And the Williams FW16. I know this is one of the most popular liveries out there, but each one of the others bothered me with little inconsistencies that, admittedly, I'm likely the only one to notice or even care about, so let me step through them all.

- First up, I made a version for Senna, Hill, and Coulthard.
- I found all the hex codes for the Rothmans brand and converted them to HSV to get the proper colours, so all colours on this livery are brand accurate (I do this for all my cars btw.)
- I started with a Rothmans Aztec Gold metallic base for proper metallic gold stripes (most people seem to prefer to use a pale yellow stripe)
- The front and rear wings are carbon fiber instead of just black, which seems to be what most cars use.
- Lastly, I added the Williams "W" logo on the head rest.

I added two new Benetton's

B194

B196

Now I need a 195 to fill out the collection. I WISH we could get a side option without the air vent

Anyone made the FGT's from GT3? I've been kinda wanting to make my own Formula GT races with them (and the proper engines bases off their real counterparts [in exception to the F686, 87 and 88 in which I will be using the V8 instead of a V6])

Ya, I have seen a few of them. Sorry that I don't have a link, but they are out there.

I've seen them too, but I guess I'm just trying to figure out which cars fit better for them.

William FW26 walrus. The nose shape is right, but it was a bit of a hack getting the nose to look right.

failing to see the need for tens of replicas of the same cars over and over again, I have been creating some originals for maybe a custom race series in the future (provide PD decides to allow us to turn off the rubberbanding, because currently there is not much fun to be had with these)

The Martini livery is really nice!!

Depends why people are doing them. I do them for myself and I find it interesting to try and be as accurate as possible. That's why I included the examples in this post. The Ferrari 643 is something I did when the 3500 was first released. Today, I realized that I could do MUCH better, so I did.

2 things. Rubber-banding will never be removed. All you can do is understand how the game controls races and work with that. I'm having tons of fun with the F3500 cars with both AI types. Use weak boost all the time, and build the cars as accurately as possible. Check to see if they had a full manual transmission, or semi automatic. For full manual cars, put the sport transmission in them. For the others, use the normal transmission for the slower cars (like Benetton or Minardi) and use the full race transmission for the newer/faster cars. It makes a big difference. Also, adjust the power down for cars with "customer" engines.

If you set the race up correctly, the F3500's are the most fun cars in the game, in my opinion. The Sophy races are definitely better, but its fun with the regular AI too.


Here is the 643 Prost version

The Alesi version

And the Minardi M194 with a hybrid livery
