Sorry, it's a petty thing, but we need to know the skin number as we can't see it in game:(
To be fair, it's not that hard to figure out.
It's a good idea to download the pssg viewer. Then you can open up the default skins and see what's what.
With the Fiesta, livery_40 is the final skin. 9/9

I always write down in the Readme which factory skin is replaced, because without it people have to try every livery to find that given one without knwing the position / original race number. Modders should keep it in mind that they have to share this knowledge.
And of course, Codemasters should re-think to change their livery systems to handle non-factory added skins with their previews.

Thanks to everyone for the effort of creating custom things for DR.
Few words of advice for modders/skinners as I see some people don't put attention to such details while I think they're pretty important to keep consistency between mods and skins.
  1. Please always create full directory structure, so if you're making livery for Subaru 555 create following structure
    MY_555_LIVERY-1.0.1.zip containing:
    cars\models\555\livery_44\textures_high\your_files_here.
    cars\models\555\livery_44\textures_low\your_files\here
    Above method is allowing users to just simply drag & drop your livery into DR directory.
  2. If you're creating mod/settings that are overwriting default files and the file itself is not big, think about including original directory in your archive - people tend to not create backups before proceeding - this way you'll help them in case something goes wrong.
  3. Create README.md/readme.txt for those less technical people with few words what to do.
  4. Mark your zip file with semantic version number, 1.0.1 (more info here: http://semver.org/) - this way people will know that there was update
  5. Mark all version with changes written up in your readme.


    Forward thanks and keep doing great work!

P.S. Since I remember that moment when all data from BHMotorsports.com was lost, maybe it's not such a bad idea to start creating some kind of public repo (i.e. Github) with mods, just incase same thing happen to RD? Ofcourse that would require a confirmation/allowness from creators.

Would love to have this. Lukyanuk is a beast with the Evo X.


The evo 10 is a beast in some of the rallyes Lukyanuk go Fast because of its top speed, for example in rally estonia the evo x have 25km/h difference with an r5 and 40km/h with a skoda s2000, he used that lovely evo in rallyes that were beneficial for it, in twisty roads a r5 beats it, thats why he used an r5 too

I agree with you, but nevertheless, this guy is quick. It's a shame that we didn't see him competing in Rally Finland because of his crash.

 @meerkat80 : Should this livery be NOT one of the Evo X default skins in D:R ; is there any chance you give this nice  skin back to us ?  ;)

As far as Mitsubishi went, I always preferred the old white, red and grey of the Evo IV over the red and white Malboro of later models.
It's why the Evo IV is my favourite version.

I'm a fan of Federico Villagra, a former WRC driver. His Fiesta WRC has already been modded, it would be awesome if someone does his EVO X once the pack comes out.

@GroupBFanatic it's already on my list, mainly because it's easy being a conversion.
Sounds promising!  :)
The iconic 037 in Martini livery is possible from you in the future?
