Who's permission do I need to convert this skin to rFactor? I run rFactor much more often than GTR2 these days, and would like to represent the community as well. DONT WORRY, I'M USUALLY GOOD FOR A TOP 5 FINSIH...

Should be no problem to convert Tom´s Skin. The X-Sim logo belongs to the community. But it would be fair, if you don´t´t convert it 1:1 and when you modify it a little bit. Than it is your own ceative work and you can write down your name under that artwork

That means: Go on and do it. Just notify Tom about it...for fairness!

Can someone point me to any existing hi-res X-Sim and SimForce logos, etc... I'm thinking of making a McLaren, Megane and Saleen versions also, and since they havent already been made, I cant just convert them so I'll need the artwork if it exists.

Also, if anyone has any cool logos and car artwork that they would like considered, please pass that on also.

Thanks,

There is not much X-Sim artwork available still. Wixi made a few logos some time ago. Unfortunatly they are low res.

Feel free to change color and design to your needs, or even create new X-Sim logos and artwork.

I prefer that you use the blue x-sim logo. Imho it looks cooler

Here, it is in higher resolution:

At one point, Tom shared his PSD files. However, the links are not valid. Does anyone have these PSD files? Also, does anyone have any higher resoluition X-Sim artwork? With the files that I have collected so far, the results will be marginal at best.

Also, for the first iteration, I have decided to stick with the traditional green / grey and white X-Sim color scheme. Sorry to dissapoint anyone. However, since the idea of this skin is to create interest in the community, and make people ask what X-Sim is, it seems reasonable that that the car matches the other X-Sim stuff as closely as possible.

Also, since this is a community skin, I have decided to keep it minimalistic. This helps the X-Sim logos to really stand out, and also make it easier to modify to your taste. I will be releasing the PSD files including wing, body and windows when it is complete, along with a tutorial that will help those of you that dont know how to put your name and number on the car.

Thanks,

No, I dont have more X-Sim artwork. Neither low nor high res.

Thats why I do hate external links. They're all dead when you need them again

Some time ago Tommy bought a Frex SCM, and moved to the Frex forum at rsc.net.
Dont know if he is willing to help anymore. Guess not.

I do not have the psd file. But anyway, why not making a high res logo on your own?
Or zoom a low res logo, and redraw the lines. Or cut it out then with the lasso tool, and fill it with ink.

Use whatever color you like. As you can see in the forum header the X is blue, and on the X-Sim.de page, the X is green. Its up to you, green or blue, does not mind to me

I was hoping to avoid the custom artistry. I'm more of a technical person that an artistic person. To give you some idea, I am a technology consultant. I enjoy making skins, but my limitations begin to show when custom artistry is needed. However, I think I've worked it out now. I should have a preview of the PCC07 Porsche ready in a day or so.

I've asked Wixi for a high res logo file, and he digged one out, finally
