Grand Prix 4 You do sure know how to motivate me with non-monetary rewards. Bring on Laguna Seca!

Grand Prix 4 I bet I had you fooled for a while there, Mr. Mills, but then... Bang! Where did that lap time come from? Sorry to whoop your arse once again! Shame, as I would've loved to've played a driver boost here. I presume tester points get handed out at the end of the race tomorrow?

Grand Prix 4 Having read that part of the rules a couple of times, I assumed testers did indeed get boosts, but I only wanted to make sure before I went sending messages that weren't required! I still think the wording of the rules could be made a little bit clearer for anyone else new to this.
Sorry, Stuart, but that's just the way it came across to me.

Grand Prix 4 Thanks for the attitude, Stoopid, but nowhere there does it explicitly state that testers also get driver boosts. I know it doesn't state they don't either, so that's why I just wanted to ask to clear up the situation. This is the line that I found confusing.
"If a test driver becomes race driver, he/she does not get any new boost, the boost will just be used in qualy/race

Grand Prix 4 I've been reading through the rules, and it seems a bit unclear as to whether all drivers get boosts, I mean test drivers included. Can someone please clear that up for me?

Grand Prix 4 Think the stewards need to have a word with Christopher Hinz... Unlucky Norbert! Robbed of a podium twice.

Grand Prix 4 What, it's Saturday evening already? I can't remember a thing from the past 24 hours, and why does my arse hurt?

Grand Prix 4 Delighted to see the TN Racing cars coming through the field. Great strategy call to stay out longer and get Glen into the podium positions late in the race. Shame he couldn't hold on, but better to take 4th than to take both drivers out of the race in an unnecessary incident. Congratulations to Norbert as well, securing a vital points scoring position. Have to say, the new car looks brillia

Grand Prix 4 Love the use of nationality flags. I think the grid positions and places gained boxes would look better if they positioned to be touching each other, like the constructor and tyre boxes. Not sure why, just seems logical and as if it would be more aesthetically pleasing.

Grand Prix 4 Very pleased with the new car. Especially love the innovative floating mirrors. Beat that everyone!

Grand Prix 4 Nice to see the team score a good 4th position in Australia. Can't wait to get a bit more cockpit time in a fortnight's time.

Grand Prix 4 I was out in Melbourne last night, and I met this girl in some bar called Bimbo Deluxe. As soon as I told her I was a part of the GPGSL, and we were racing just down the road at Albert Park this weekend, she was hooked on my every word. We had a good night, and I managed to hook her up with a paddock pass for today. She seemed to be loving it, especially when she found out she'd be allowed i

Grand Prix 4 Nice one. Well, I look forward to seeing the car soon. Don't really fancy making my track début in the Livery of Shame, or whatever it's called!

Grand Prix 4 Ha, thanks guys! As much as I'm amazed at what some of you lot can do with helmet painting, I prefer a more simple design personally. Mine's actually just an evolution of what BATracer gave me when I first signed up and got a randomly generated helmet a few years back.
Mal, I'm afraid I have no idea how to convert the files for the game, so I'll just have to zip it up for

Grand Prix 4 Despite a media turnout of zero at the TNR launch last night, I did still reveal my helmet... To myself. So, here it is now for everyone else. Not that anyone cares.
By the way, Turbo Lover, when I send you my helmet, I've only got it currently saved as .tgas. I've never done this before, so is there anything else I have to do with it before sending you the link for the files?

Grand Prix 4 Interesting start to my career. Told the car would be launched last night, so I turned up for the event. No-one there. What's going on? Don't tell me I've signed for Moda!

Grand Prix 4 Hey, are there any chances of a possible test driver slot anywhere? Thanks.

Grand Prix 4 This isn't really a major problem, but I was just wondering if any of you knew why the visor strip doesn't show up properly when I'm viewing it in ZModeler?

Grand Prix 4 Wow, thanks for the response guys! Turns out I needed to flip the images vertically in Photoshop before saving them as .tgas. Now, hopefully I can go about designing a woefully painted helmet!

Grand Prix 4 Right, I have another problem... All I did was slightly change the colour of the blue on driver1_1 and then changed the helmet top to yellow on driver1_2, before saving them as .tgas. I opened ZModeler, loaded them up, and this happened! Any idea why?
For some reason, everything seems to have been inverted and mirrored. Sorry, but I'm a complete amateur at this, and having followed in

Grand Prix 4 Thanks, DaiMOn. Got it to work with that latest piece of advice! I had to change to Options > 3D View > Select Device > RGB Emulation and then it worked. All of everyone's help here is greatly appreciated. Now to see how I get on with the whole painting malarky!

Grand Prix 4 Me again! Followed your instructions, and fiddled about with the zoom, but this is all I manage to come up with. The helmet remains in white all over, no matter whether I replace the textures with my own, or the default ones that come with the template. Can you see what I may be doing wrong here?
Thanks!

Grand Prix 4 OK, I've managed to get ZModeler 1.07 working on my laptop, thanks. However, once I've tried following JohnMaverick's instructions, I end up with a screen that looks like this, which I presume is not how it should look!

Grand Prix 4 OK, I have a problem. When I try and open the file Bell_HP3_Preview.z3d, ZModeler2 stops working, and I am forced to close the programme. Any ideas why this may be happening. I'm running Windows 7, so I don't know if that maybe effects anything.
