Here's the WRC02 I've been working on (almost ready):

At first look may look a minor update to stock except for the 555 logo, but it's actually done from scratch.
All sponsor are era-correct, including the fonts (stock were wrong).
I also added the usual maintenance holes to the skirt, made the STI logo on the grille more visible and completely remade the window textures (removing the rear defog lines).
The colors are different too, with the yellow that is now more neon yellow than neon green (it's a strange paint that turn greenish in low light), and a darker and more realistic blue (in the neutral light of Finland/midday looks very very accurate).
With a list of updates like that, I hope you'll also consider the normal, technically censored, WRC02 as well. :)

Yep it was just 5 minutes work to get the classic Subaru stars in place of the 555. I'll make it Makinen #10 car.
Shame can't put his (or every other) name on the window though. I think we should start a thread and get a bit of attention from the devs, so at least they know it's something we'll be glad to have for the next cars too.

Noooo... lol... I'd want to use it for the McRae & Burns tribute video, lol!
Quite capable of swapping the numbers myself of course, but DDS compression is so damn destructive, which is part of why I haven't done a McRae version of your censored Focus 01.

As for the window thing, I've brought it up directly in the test forum. I suspect it's merely game devs going for maximum optimisation rather than to outright prevent people doing it. We'll see.

Right, on the window issue can basically say: It's on the wishlist, but don't get your hopes up. It's probably not going to be addressed this time around.

Reason its mirrored is either straight forward optimisation, or there actually not being quite enough room on those textures for separate windows without an overlap for those particular models.
As you can see here, it's a bit tight with the rear windscreen on the 01 Impreza.

This would actually be quite a fairly big job for such a little change as it means making changes to the 3D model and the texture mapping to shift it around.

@BrySkye  can you upload a full res PNG of this pic? I wanna see how bad it is with a white rectangle instead of text... at least (some of) the flag could be still be read.

SUBARU IMPREZA WRC02 2002 SOLBERG + MÄKINEN 1.0






Download here.
For now it's just a package with the two 2002 cars: Solberg 555 and Makinen classic Subaru. There a little more work to do for the WRC01 versions.

I said "either". I put forward both suggestions of just optimisation or about there not being enough space.
Whilst I was told I was correct, it wasn't clarified which of the two it was. ;)
I don't really want to push it either saying as the answer is that it's very unlikely to be changed in DiRT Rally but has been noted for the future.
So it's pretty much a closed subject now.
I might be being a bit too revealing, but I just wanted to make it clear that it's at least been discussed.

As for the texture specifically, its from http://www.racedepartment.com/downloads/subaru-impreza-wrx-infineon-powerhorse.7515/

Uploading this update right now:
Subaru Impreza WRC2001-2002 Burns + Solberg + Mäkinen 1.1
I've added Burns car plus some fixes to the yesterday '02 skins (Subaru logos needed to be distorted to look ok)
Same link as yesterday.

Update:
I'll be slowly updating my cars with tire + rim logo marks and logos. If you wanna help, post some very good close pictures of tarmac and gravel tires where all logos and markings are visible (and tag it so I can be notified).

Update #2:
If you think it doesn't make sense, let me know:

i am not sure i create a lot of polish liveries although i recently made 2 of them :-).
Maybe for DR there is only 2 - but there are also liveries for other games. ;-)

However - again kudos for making especially J.Kulig livery - one of finest polish rally drivers ever, and personally I was huge fan of him, until his tragic accident in Feb 13 2004.

If that request in your sig is still valid, I'll take care of that on the 19th. I want to show my appreciation.

I've brought up a further suggestion now in regards to possibly shifting the driver/co-driver textures from a generic folder into each individual livery folder, allowing skins to have accurate crew helmets and overalls (even faces to an extent).
It'd add about 600mb to the games current install size, but saying as storage isn't at the premium it once was, I think it's something that would be appreciated by many and wouldn't technically require any textures to be re-mapped.
Hopefully something to be considered for the future at least.

That sounds awesome to say the least. The less limitations in terms of editing liveries the better.

@BrySkye thanks man, this is really going to help putting out the next skins.
My trial is almost gone and without a 3d viewer or the Dirt 3 trick (for recycled models) it's hard if not impossible to get in the details.

wait, are we talking about 30 pounds meerkat?
It looks like the only license option available, so yes i would say is it the 30 GBP.

Went and paid for it now before it gets too complicated, lol.
Trying to think of  a fair,safe and transparent way to do this.
I guess if anyone wants to chip in on the bill, post here in the next 12 hours and then I'll PM my paypal address with the divided up amount.
Don't want to profit from this!

-wheel textures for all the cars I made. I'm trying to figuring out a way to make a general (but realistic) tire marking system.
-maybe some of the important historic cars I left out, like the Martini S4 or the 037. With these, I could pretty much pack all the skins I have and call it an "essential pack".

Yes your stuff is an essential pack!!

Can't wait for the full thing :)

Thanks too, to Bryskye for being an awesome community member and paying your own money for Meerkat's license.
