Ahh, ok. For some reason I though that was something else.
Thank you
. I do think a couple of mods have some issues though, I will delete them due to your experience. 
I know it's not the fastest Formula car we have either. Still, everything happens so damn fast. Too fast for me. Amazing.
I loaded up the Ferrari SF15-T this afternoon for kicks. I swear to God, when I was driving it, in my mind it felt like I was watching a replay video on 4X speed. Right - Left - Left - Right...my brain would still be on that first Left.
After I destroyed my car 100 times I called it quits. I proceeded to my next combo - Ferrari Enzo on Nurburgring short GT circuit. The Enzo felt like I was driving a VW Beetle compared to what I had just experienced in the SF15-T.
Just keep at it! Try it at Spa, fun track and the car can stretch its legs a bit. Turn the brake setting down to 80-85,really helped me keep the car on the track. 
You would have cracked up if you saw my second lap...I took it easy on Lap 1. You know, put some heat into the tires and get a feel for it. Lap 2 I put the pedal to the metal. I'm doing about 196-197 mph and the braking zone for the hairpin turn is coming up. OH CRAP! Hit brakes...downshift like crazy and end up almost at a complete stop at only the 50 marker - doing about 10 mph...
Give it another shot
WOW. This thing has some serious brakes. 
Well, you can make changes - just like Schnipp did in that video...however, you need to create the actual .DDS file in something like Photoshop or GIMP or Paint.NET (I think all three support .DDS files, at least via a plugin). What is shown in the video is a simple rim color change and I would probably use this method only for simple color changes. Wings, Rims, Spoilers or other parts that I want to be solid colors. If I were going to make an actual skin with logos & sponsor stickers, numbers, etc. then I would bite the bullet and just do it the old fashioned way. In one of those applications I mentioned, create .DDS files and save them with the appropriate name in a new folder. I think all Kunos cars come with templates that can be used to help make the skin creation process do-able.
If you were hoping that you can just move a slider to change colors, CM can't do that. At least, not yet. Who knows what the hell x4fab will come up with next. He's a mad scientist! But, if you create the files in an image editor like Photoshop, let's just say for the doors. Then yes, you can just use CM to apply the new doors file you just created. I hope that answers your question...unfortunately, I don't know a lot about some of these newer features in CM. The program has changed so much since I first installed it. But, I think all of the changes have been for the better - maybe the 16384 x whatever ginormous screenshots were a little bit of overkill - he was just having some fun, I think.

I've never created my own livery from start to finish, but I have modified a few and it is a bit of work...especially when you don't know what you're doing yet, like me.
I haven't downloaded a ton of them, but I admit there are some I love wearing when I race the AI. If I were spending a bigger percentage of my AC time online I would be doing the same as you.
I think just doing a solid color shouldnt be too hard. When I reinstall Photoshop I'll give it a go for you. Just hang in there...I cant promise it will be in the next couple of days.Aw,junk. I was hoping it would be a bit easier. If I just wanted to make a car white (Williams F1 car) is that hard? I am just have so much on my learning plate right now with getting the PC and DD wheel that I don't have any spare brain cells to try something else
Thanks bud
Considering it's the PC version we're talking about, which has the ability to run mods, user created apps, PP Filters...you name it.
AND...it seems to be the fastest performing option of the bunch. He is currently in testing mode of allowing us to run Content Manager as a Service which will be even faster than AppID. You can read more about the different Game Starter options available with Content Manager where you make the change...you'll see a little question mark after the words Game Starter. Click on that and the help menu pops up showing you the pro's & con's for each method.
). With a couple of mouse clicks Content Manager will fix all of that and much more. The developer of CM is a freakin' magician.
@x4fab has created a few more newer ways to set Game Starter. I recommend setting it to AppID. Now you don't even need to have the Kunos launcher running in the background anymore!!

. I have been driving nothing but high HP, high downforce cars lately so I loaded up a GT car for something different. First three turns, straight off! Braking waaay too late being used to the grip. Downforce is my friend!
Yeah...if you were running with CM in plain ole normal mode you couldn't have the Kunos launcher running, but the downside was after every combo....when you hit the Quit button to go back into CM - each time Steam would disconnect. Then you pick a different car to drive and hit GO! and Steam has to load up again -- UI Module mode stopped that, but at the expense of needing to have the Kunos launcher running as well. Oh...and there used to be that problem where CM wouldn't sync up with your Steam properly so it didn't remember achievements or something like that. I just can't fully remember. If you set it to AppID now I'm pretty sure that should be the fastest available mode. HDD users will notice the benefit more than SSD users because SSDs are already super fast.I've seen you say that before but I never have to have the Kunos launcher running in the background. In fact, if I try to start CM with the Kunos launcher running it gives me an error that "CM failed to launch because an instance of AC is already running" (or something like that).
Edit: Obviously I didn't read the paragraph above that one. I just have CM running in whatever the default mode is, when I click "Go" to go to track the little Steam dialog pops up for a moment, then the screen goes black and shows the normal Kunos loading screen, 5-10 seconds later I'm on track.
In like 3 seconds all the problems are gone. I'm pretty sure you still have to do sound replacement the way we've always done it...thats why that button didn't go away - same thing with tires.
