A replica from 1994-95 DTM Tabac/Sonax Mercedes. I had only some very small pictures and a bad quality blue print, so some of the logos may not be a perfect replica. Nevertheless I hope that I got the overall design right.

Some screenshots & a little render (thanks priitmek).

Another FXR skin. Very simple, inspired by the Royal Dutch Airlines KLM livery. I was thinking to add some airplane/airport etc vector graphics, or some other flying related things, but for some reason the simpler I kept the skin the more I liked it. Now it's pretty much what a KLM airplane looks like. images/smilies/smile.gif

PS2: I've made some changes to the 1st post, check it out. Mostly includes addition of renders, HUGE thanks to burnsy for the studio renders. You should also check out the media->renders section on our site, all the skins published so far have 2 big renders each, front and back view. We also added a render thumbnail/preview in the skin section on the site too.

Enjoy! images/smilies/smile.gif

Is there any way to get your headlights up like that? Or is it just done via the rendering program?

priitmek made that render and he changed something to get it working I think, but you can't do that in the game images/smilies/sad.gif

Damn. images/smilies/dry.gif

And yeah, that render looks really good. I don't see why they can't do that ingame. I mean it's not like LFS is anywhere near too detailed. My PC runs it nice and smooth on max settings and it's only a decent PC.

I guess they will once there is a night mode or something like that. images/smilies/smile.gif

Right now lights have no use in lfs, so I suppose the devs keep things as simple as possible, unless there's a good reason...

But I do agree, I don't think it would cause any extra load to have the lights up and looks much nicer, but well... the primary aim of lfs has never been to look nice. images/smilies/smile.gif

Inspired by Renault F1 design, which quite divides the fans into two groups, the ones that really hate the new design, and the ones that love it. I had my doubts about it in the beginning, but lately I fell in love with it, hence the inspiration. images/smilies/smile.gif

I didn't use all the sponsors, 2-3 or so I left out, didn't want to make the design too busy, but the overall theme is recognizable I think.

Did this a while ago, never got to post it quite busy lately. I was a bit disappointed, doesn't suit the FOX that well as I hoped, but it's ok I suppose.

Inspired by the Ford WRC Team.

On a real F1, it looks...meh, but on this XFG, it looks great! Also the FOX skin, too! Three cheers for Peter.

XFR HoldenV8

Based on a former (2004 iirc) Holden V8 Supercars livery. I didn't like how the front/bonnet of the original design looked on the XFR, so I changed that a bit, but otherwise it's authentic. (more or less images/smilies/wink.gif )

Here's one more story about taking requests. images/smilies/smile.gif

I get a pm, asking about a skin. Request was well written, team seemed respectable said they like to race the FOX especially on Blackwood. Normally I avoid request, but this one seemed ok, and it was only one car anyway so I said ok. After the first version, I get the new info as a reply that the team changed name from X to Y, and that contrary to original color request I should change color A to B. I said ok, team name was not hard to change, neither was color. Then comes another reply, the skin is too simple. In the original request I was asked to make something simple like most of my non-replica skins tend to be. Hence, I avoided using complex shapes and zillion logos. I replied that I can't change the design anymore, ater all I worked on it from the beginning on as being simple and effective. So I said I'm sorry but I can't really change things anymore. Meanwhile, it turned out that the team had already skins, not one but several versions. Something I wasn't informed about, I thought they had no skin and were needing one. At the end, the original person who requested the skin from me, informed me kindly that he left the team, and that the team is gonna stick to the old skin...

Lucky for me that I didn't make them a logo (which was also part of the request) but just spelled out the team name on the skin. So in no time I removed the team name, and transformed it into a public version. I can't say I'm sad about the team not going to use the skin, since I rather make it public for more people to enjoy. images/smilies/smile.gif

+1 story why you should NOT take requests for strangers, unless you are 100% sure it is a serious team, who will use your work, or will compensate you for the effort.

Anyway, here's the skin, I decide to call it Blackwood, because I placed a BW text on the bottom side of the rear wing, as I thought it would be a good touch for the team since they said they enjoy BW.

A Carrera Cup replica from the UPS team. 3 Colors, red/green/blue.
This has been already made for the FZR, obviously, but I find the design quite nice, thought it would suit the RB4 nicely as well.

Based on the Jim Beam V8 Supercars livery. I had to make quite a few compromises with this one, because of the small car size, but I hope the livery is still recognizable. images/smilies/smile.gif

All fictional, 3 based on lfs brands, and the RAC was inspired by a bike obviously, but didn't turn out that good as I hoped.

You can't really see it on this one from the preview shots, but I asued a light alu/metallic base for it, I think it looks alright in game but it's not very noticable.

Quite a simple one, not much space on the LX. images/smilies/smile.gif
