Tire patch for f1 2008 for GTR2 by godlameroso

[System]

This is an updated tyre file for the f1 2008 mod, it increases the life span of the soft and hard tyres, as well as making them less prone to over heating. They still heat up but nowhere near as bad as before.

Big up to Po911 for the great mod and for permission.

P.M. me with suggestions i.e. reduce grip etc.

Thanks for the help.
Is there any difference between this file and the other F1 tire update file listed?
Any chance we could loose the white stripe? What files do I need to change, if I can?
What program reads .DDS files?

You should use the other F1 tire update instead (the one with the name "updated ..."), because as far as I understand, that one is just an updated version of this one.

And you will not lose the white stripes, as they are not dependant on that file, only a graphics file (*.gtr-file).

Thanks Sprewell, But Im actually trying to get rid of the white stripe
Thanks for the info on the file though that helped.
What software will read the .gtr file? I have Paint shop pro will that read them? Do I need to change the file extention? if so what do I change it too? Thanks in advance -Otterbear

Ok, I found a utility that will extract the files from the GTR file. Any Idea which files I need to change to have just black tires?

If I have to change any dds files what program or utility do I need for that?
This is strictly for personel use and will not be made available to the public. I just would prefer to use black tires. Thanks in advance for any help.
