I don't think its possible in GP3 or GP3-2000 because the wheel graphics are just flat bitmaps that are wrapped round, to make them look circular like wheels, so if you want glowing discs you have to paint it into the tyre bitmaps, but they will glow all the time, and not just when you are braking.

Hope this helps. Please correct me if I am wrong.

Sorry,you're wrong!Glowing brakes can be made to work, the only slight drawback is that they glow whenever(on the grid,pits etc..)the car is at a standstill.But as soon as wheels are moving-glow effect disappears!All that needs painting is the glow into the static tyre bitmap.

Yes but whats the point in having glowing brake discs on a stationary car? Of course you can paint only the static or only the moving bitmaps if you want, but I think Rafen wanted to know if its possible to have glowing discs in the most realistic way, glowing under braking.

Yes it works-with only the drawbacks I mentioned.Will e-mail mine for you to try if you want.Won't post on the site as they are based on other people's work.

If there are more than just one "moving wheel" bitmap, why not only change the ones used for slowly-moving wheels? They also glow some time when braking is over, so this should be ok.
