2008 Helmetset by SkaningeN & DaiMOn *Released*

2008 Helmetset and Shapes by SkaningeN & DaiMOn
---------------------------------------------
The 2008 helmetset by DaiMOn now with seperate helmet shapes.
This helmetset have gotten some tweaks and now also, thanks to Fongu, gotten the correct helmetshapes for all drivers.
I've added some missing helmets, fixed some others and fixed the alphalayer on some, but it's mostly DaiMOn's work.
I also needed to remove the template shadows and tear-off visors for all textures using Bell and Schuberth because they did not fit.
Some of the helmet texutures for these shapes have also been "reshaped" to sit correctly enough on the shape.
Tedious job to say the least! Helmet versions marked with (new) is versions new to this set. They were missing from the original release.

All helmets from the 2008 season (that I know of) is included in this pack. You can run all helmets with individual shapes or you can use all helmets with only one shape for all.
(If you do this, I recommend you use DaiMOn's original set with ARAI 2006) The mapping of the helmets are all the same but might not fit in small places with the wrong shape.
They are put in team order following carnumbers.
---------------------------------------------
Known issues:

* During testing, I noticed that in order to add this helmetset to a mod it could mean that you have to change some filenames in order for it to work.
I've made this set as stand-alone as I don't use CSM myself.

* I have done the helmet textures so that they fit the drivers real helmetshape the best. Example, so if you use Felipe Massa's helmet with Arai instead of Schubert, the result might be some textures not fitting correctly in small places.

* The tear-off visor has been removed from the Bell and Schuberth shapes because it did not fit properly and I do not have any tear-off templates to redo them.

* Vettel Singapore helmet was missing from DaiMOn's original release. I understand why he did not paint it since there are no good pictures of it. But from the pictures I managed to get, I created an "interim" verion with help from DaiMOn's 2009 vettel helmet. Looks quite similiar, but who knows if it's correct.

* DaiMOn put his logo on every helmet and I've done my best to keep it on the helmets that use BELL or Schuberth. If you look at the textures in Slimtex or Photoshop, they could look a little sloppy but that's not noticable ingame.

* DaiMOn painted more helmets than this set has, but I decided not to include testdrivers or helmets used during pre-season. That's just extra work with stuff that will not be used.

NOTE: You need to add all the common helmet texture files in your cars.wad, otherwise you'll get parts of the helmets that become white
