Don't know which texture file to alter for a part you want to customize? Use Content Manager!



So it looks like in this case if you just want bright pink leather, you alter "leather.dds". But who am I to judge?

As far as the gloves/suit, I usually just edit the skin.ini file in the skin directory and pick one of the many defaults available there that match my car. I've made a helmet once, but I'd rather spend all my time on car bodies.

Hah... I should have read the original post more clearly. When I see "wheel" I think "steering wheel" not the round things you put tires/tyres on.

File syntax just needs to be whatever the game requires. In 99% of times it's a .dds file at a particular compression rate that is typically dictated by how good (or if you need) alpha, or transparency, you require for the texture. Is that what you mean?
