Creating a new skin for XFG we found an issue with the pro-kit. After Patch Z XFG seems to have gotten a slightly new model (with rounder edges and different mirrors etc.). There doesn't seem to be much of a difference, but there is definitely a change regarding the hood: The area formed by the top-view-layer in pro-kit is to little around the indicators, the black mask on the other hand to wide. This results in little black edges above the front incicators, as You can see on the attached images. We also found that the default skin has changed. In patch Y-skin there was a little shadow in that area, which now - in patch Z - was removed. So using the actual pro-kit you get little shadows beneath the above mentioned edges, when displaying the blank-skin. You cab this on the second image, attached below. jallaland.de/uploads/XFG_FRONT.jpgjallaland.de/uploads/XFG_SPOTS.jpgAlready being in charge we compared both versions of the car (patch Y and patch Z) and found that the Z-model became much more "rounded" and changed in quite a few - mostly tiny - details. To show You that we made some other comparing images, as You can see below. jallaland.de/uploads/XFG_TOP.jpgjallaland.de/uploads/XFG_SIDE.jpgjallaland.de/uploads/XFG_BACK.jpgThanks for Your attention and best regards, avetere PS: Due to image size I only included Links instead of directly inserting them.

Yes, all of the XR car meshes and skin mappings have changed, as have some of the other cars. If you check out our main skin kits thread you will see that the XRT and XRR kit have already been updated and that the new XRG kit is 50% complete. I released the new XRT kit on July 4th. XRT:Red = new Blue = old It takes me between 4 and 7 hours to make a Pro kit and I sacrifice my spare time to make them, so sometimes it can take several weeks for me to complete several kits. It is possible that the new XRG Pro Kit will be complete before the weekend, but if not it will have to wait until mid next week because I am going away for four days at the end of this week.

Hey Bunta!
I think You misunderstood me a little bit!
I was in no way urging You to work more odr better or faster or anything. In fact, I think You do great work.
All I wanted to state was that, the XFG was also changed and where those - easily seeable - changes are. Maybe You knew that already. If so, forget what I wrote. If not regard this thread as a simple hint.
No critisism, just a "bugreport".

I didn't take it as criticism, I was just letting you know the status of the updated XRG Pro Kit. We appreciate that you were trying to be informative and helpful. Scawen usually informs me of such changes before they are released so that I may get a head start on the updated kits. But when there are so many cars effected I can't finish the work in time for the public release. Since the XRG is now the flagship car for many demo users, it is important to me to finish the Pro Kit as soon as possible.
