Okay, it's done. The file has been successfully uploaded, it's 15MB - apologies to those with 56k modems but there are a lot of textures in there. They won't win any prizes for detail or neatness but 19 repaints in 3 hours was quite a challenge! I don't know how long it'll take to appear on the website, it probably has to be checked by someone first.

It's late, I'm going to bed. See you all at the races!

??? But you said last night you couldn't do them!

My emergency repaints are pretty simple, only one or two colours each, if yours look better than that we can still use yours.

The important thing is, the race is now less than 12 hours away and we have to get something out FAST. Some people have dialup modems and it's going to take time for them to download all the files, whichever ones we use. Mine haven't appeared on the site yet so they've probably got to be approved by an admin or something before they can be downloaded.

Before we go any further with this, perhaps someone could download this test file

http://www.metaphor.karoo.net/SimV/4racers.zip

and let me know if it works? There's no point in sharing repaints that only work on my PC but not on everyone else's machine. There are 4 random paint jobs in there, it's 4.5MB.

Echo, email me a copy and I'll overwrite the one I painted last night.

Ice, if you've already done some of the paint jobs send them to me, and I'll use mine to fill in the blanks.

But we've only got 8 hours to compile the various repaints, I can put them on my website so everyone can pick them up quickly but we've got to give people time to download everything. And the race starts in just over 8 hours! Dammit, I haven't even had time to fly a practice lap yet...

I've got Ecko's paint job, and added it to the collection.

If I don't hear from anyone else with repainted aircraft by 2pm, I'll put the whole lot in a zip file on my web site and post a link to the MP forum. Sorry to anyone who turns up after that time, but that only leaves 6 hours before the race starts - not much time for people to download and install the 15MB file (although it will be a very simple installation, just unzip everything into the Extra300 folder and it's done).

Aaargh! I deleted my old website to make room, then uploaded the zip file. But now my FTP is going wrong and it won't give me a directory of the website so I can't make a link!

Would someone mind going to www.metaphor.karoo.net and looking for a file called SimVrace.zip please?

And if you find it, post a link here...

Thanks Tweek! I typed that in (seemed obvious didn't it?) but kept getting an error 404 which confused the **** out of me!

Glad it's working now Grin
