Here are the skin files for the rFactor Porsche Carrera Cup Series Mod. If you do not have it yet, it can be downloaded here http://www.rfactorcentral.com/detail.cfm?ID=PCC%202007 This skin is intentionally minimalistic in order to help the X-Sim logos stand out and promote the community. However, I pre-added some sections to the PSD file which should make modifying the skin to your taste a little easier. I will be posting the PSD in a later post.

I packaged the same skin as the first car in each series so that noone feels left out

The installation instructions below assume that your rFactor installation is in C:\Program Files\rFactor

Once you unzip the files into the folders shown below, you will be able to find the skins by choosing the first car in the series and clicking the skin button. Then click on the #08 Team X-Sim skin
**EDITED BASED ON EGO's FEEDBACK **
PCC Asia Skin = PCCA.zip - Unzip to C:\Program Files\rFactor\GameData\Vehicles\PCC_997\PCCA2007\PCCA07_Cref MotorSport\
PCC Australia Skin = PCCAU.zip - Unzip to C:\Program Files\rFactor\GameData\Vehicles\PCC_997\PCCAU2007\PCCAU07_Cruickshank Racing\
PCC Deutschland = PCCG.zip - Unzip to C:\Program Files\rFactor\GameData\Vehicles\PCC_997\PCCG2007\PCCG07_Ahlden Motorsport\
Porsche Carrera Cup Series = PMSCS.zip - Unzip to C:\Program Files\rFactor\GameData\Vehicles\PCC_997\PMSC2007\PMSC07_Bleekemolen Race Planet\


This was was first skin for this mod (SO GO EASY ON ME!), and I have to say, I hope it is my last. The skin template distributed by the creators of the mod has several flaws that took me quite a bit of time to find a workaround for. When you see the PSD and all of the realistic graphics scaled from real Porasche pics, and compare it to the result, you'll know what I mean.

Good luck and enjoy. Comments welcome.

Unfortunately I am unable to upload the zip files because they are too large. I will post another link later once I add them to one of my websites.

In case you want to use a X-Sim logo psd file

OK, here's the best I can offer. For those of you that dont know, I operate a few small business all under the name of Villers Enterprises Limited. I am a technology consultant and all of my business revolve around that in some way.

I posted the skin files on my companies main website at http://www.villersenterprises.com However, I cant have my customers seeing my hobby related stuff on the website, so you'll have to login in order to download the Porsche skins. I created a loghin called xsim with a password of xsim12345. Once you login, there will be a new button added to the toolbar called 'Sim Stuff'.

If anyone has a better solution, please feel free to re-post the file. I have a 10MB internet connection, so I'm not concerned about the bandwidth.

Also, I will be buying a domain name and throwing up some kind of website that is dedicated to X-Sim and my other hobbies in the near future in order to prevent this type of confusion.

Which file should I download? Whats the difference between the install file, and the skin file below?

The large install file from rFactorCentral.com gets you the Porsche Carrera mod. This includes about 100 cars and the most accurate Porsche physics available in my opinion. It is a LARGE 100+ megabyte file, but well worth the download.

The skin files that I created and placed on my website are add-ons for this mod.

Cannot find it in R-Factor. Is the install folder for your files correct?

I apologize, I will modify the post. You should extract the skin to the first folder atop the list for each. The idea here is that we are adding a skin file to an existing team. Because there are so many subsections of this mod, we are going to add the skin to the first team in each mod sub-section.

So here are the correct folders:

PCC Asia Skin = PCCA.zip - Unzip to C:\Program Files\rFactor\GameData\Vehicles\PCC_997\PCCA2007\PCCA07_Cref MotorSport\
PCC Australia Skin = PCCAU.zip - Unzip to C:\Program Files\rFactor\GameData\Vehicles\PCC_997\PCCAU2007\PCCAU07_Cruickshank Racing\
PCC Deutschland = PCCG.zip - Unzip to C:\Program Files\rFactor\GameData\Vehicles\PCC_997\PCCG2007\PCCG07_Ahlden Motorsport\
Porsche Carrera Cup Series = PMSCS.zip - Unzip to C:\Program Files\rFactor\GameData\Vehicles\PCC_997\PMSC2007\PMSC07_Bleekemolen Race Planet\

Sorry about the confusion.

Isnt it possible to create a X-Sim team, and a standalone car?

Yes it is possible, and I have. However, in testing, I discovered that when racing online, new teams are not transfered to other players in rfactor, but skins for existing teams are. So if you joined an online game using a team that we added, others would see your car as an ugly grey box that says the word 'Temp' on it. I didnt distribute the team add-on for that reason.

So lets see if we can get this worked out. Try clicking skins / Texturen.I am about to upload a screenshot tutorial.
