Sims spun out in the crossover, tried to recover, and they both barely missed each other. They were not parked like that.

All of that paint will more than likely be wasted, seeing that it is supposed to rain today, unless they got the whole track tarped off last night.

Also, when you guys get your final version done, take out the diffuse specular crap that is automatically generated in the material file, and makes everything unrealistically shiny.

Well I was having the same problem uploading my Rampage, then all of a sudden yesterday, it worked, So I will update the Identity Theft Download as well as the Sting and Vette King. I will also include something special in the Identity Theft Zip, Since The SSRS Play-Offs didn't happen.

All "girls" on the internet are considered its because they aren't girls.
But Demko's baby is a real person, who won't know what a computer is for a while.

Sorry for my grammar Nazi like behavior, but a human being is not considered an it.

Seems like a direct color inversion from Jeff Cook's original Stage 3 Tube Chassis War Wagon.

All you do is make a spec map of the original paint.
Here, the top paint of Chris's Titan is the original paint, and the bottom is the spec map. He used the spec map on Titan to give a glossy feel, which will be administered by using a suttle or dark grey on the spec map, to give it that affect, and making black anything he wanted to keep the same on the original paint. Such as the front grill, which he blacked out, because the truck would not run a glossy front clip, as well as the lettering, and the hood flames, because they didn't have a glossy effect to them when Donald ran the body in the 1st quarter.
In Devin Doss's Deja Vu III, Devin wanted to make the lettering Chrome; So all he did was take the original paint, and blacked out the places he didn't want to change, in this case, all of the striping down the sides, and the go pro sponsor graphics. But then he kept the Lettering the same light grey or white, which will apply a chrome effect when you put the spec map on the truck.
As you can see in the release pic, the lettering has a chrome effect, while the stripes and most of the other paint stays original to the original paint, because he blacked all of that out in the spec map.
There are two proper ways to apply your recently created spec map, seeing that you must make it a completely seperate paint from the original, and should probably be named similair to the original paint, such as Devin did, with the original paint being dv3.png, and the spec map being dv3-spec.png, although this is not entirely necessary AS LONG AS there are no spaces in any of the paint names.
The first and probably more popular way is to use the spec map set of coding that you would replace in the material file, replacing the original material code that original textured what you wanted to spec map, with the set of spec codes seen above. This can be more tricky, as you must know where to replace the original paint name, and the spec map name in the set of codes.
What a lot of truck builders use now is something known as managedmaterials, which is a much easier way of applying spec maps to your an application.
With this method, you go into the material file, copy the material name, then go into a .truck file, find an empty space, and type managedmaterials, with no spaces.
Now paste the material name under managedmaterials, make a space, mesh_standard, another space, the original texture name, another space, and then the spec map name.
What I have highlighted in the material file is what you need to paste under managedmaterials.
If done correctly, it should look like this in the .truck file, if your spec map is named the same as the original paint, with the addition of -spec.
Now you need to delete the full material name, with all of the extra crap that is used to make it auto textured through the material file, if the body and chassis are all one material file.
Although in this case, since the body and chassis are separate meshes, it is safe to remove the body material from your v4 pack, to make sure the truck now will rely on managedmaterials to texture both the original paint on the body, and to apply the spec map. If it doesn't work for what ever reason, put the material file back in your v4 pack, or if the body and chassis were one combined mesh, you may need to replace the modified material file with the original one.
Hopefully this helps atleast somewhat, I can explain it in a lot more detail as I'm sure Connor can, I just thought I would post it in here.
Always make sure to have a back up of the material, paints, and .truck file, just in case you screw something up.

He requested something once... I didn't see him begging for it or anything... He didn't break any rules with that request.

That's terrible. Army Armstrong and Gary made such a great team in the PENDA Series as far as announcing, and I enjoyed watching Trucks and Tractor Power on TNN. RIP.

Go into the UV Window, and Scale the UV Map on the Y Axis -1 Degrees. Then press enter, and move the Map to fit the texture. Should be correctly facing after that.

I would like to thank Tom Papaccio for the completely hand painted logo. This is a Repli-Custom of the black Rampage that Ken Deppe and Todd Frolik used to race in the PENDA Series, the truck being owned by Fred Shafer. Only instead of a Wilman as the chassis, the Repli-Custom runs a Concussion.
