3. I dont know exactly, what u dont understand about this question. Its a question about how to use a downloaded skin from websites inside an SRS-Race.
5. Outside this period the app tells me "App only valid for Sim Racing System servers". So how it will work in an offline practice session?

3 - dowloaded or made from scratch skins work as long as the folder name requirement is set and it's less than 10 MB
4 - "Skin transfer begins 5 minutes before the session hour and ends at the end of qualy. Outside this period the app will return 'Skin Transfer Unavailable'
It will work online and offline (practice, race weekend etc...) meaning that you can use those 2 minutes between the 'please wait' and 'join' to upload your skin."

yes,
tried it 3x in this time window. Started local practice sessions. Same track, same car like the race I want to join next (I think, the track doesnt matter)
I mean, this behavior matches with the message "App only valid for Sim Racing System servers". Looks and sounds like,. if u are not playing on an SRS-server, the app won't even do anything.
After loading and sitting in the cockpit, I can see in the taskmanager the "SRSskintransfer.exe" has been started by the SRSSkin-App.

If I may.
If you register for a SRS race that starts at 8:00. The Skin app will start working at 7:55 and keep working until the end of Qualifying.
Try joining the race with the Join button, then look at what the app message is.
Also maybe try reinstalling the app.

Dude, sorry, but u dont get, what we are talking about.
Just to summarize it for u:
- All works well, if I join an SRS server.
- The uploading doesn't work in the time window before the race in an offline session or online session on another server, like the description tells on first page.
- The message "Skin Transfer Unavailable" doesnt exist

The SRS app uploads everything in your named folder, so long as it doesn't exceed the 10MB (it's technically like 9.8MB or something... so I recommend <9MB to be sure).
As far as custom helmets, check out this old thread post where I go into the details on how to fool the app into uploading your helmet texture with reference in the json files and such:
