Thats what you get for downloading a foreign version.

no, I bought the English version from my retailer, not a scabby pirate version. I can't undersatnd the FRENCH instructions on how to install new cars, even when the site is translated. I think I'm owed an apology...

The zips of the véhicules are put in the folliwing folders (NOT-DECOMPRESSED) depending on hte enviromment

island TmSunrise\GameData\Skins\Vehicles\SportCar

coast TmSunrise\GameData\Skins\Vehicles\CoastCar

bay TmSunrise\GameData\Skins\Vehicles\BayCar

What is a layer or installer?
a layer is an immage in dds specifique to each car (rust, graphics, etc...)

u must unzip the folder with the layer name which has Layer.dds (dxt1 ou 5 with or without alpha, depending if u want to use the tranparency )

depending per car
- Véhicule Island : TmSunrise\GameData\Painter\Layers\SportCar
- Véhicule Bay : TmSunrise\GameData\Painter\Layers\BayCar
- Véhicule Coast : TmSunrise\GameData\Painter\Layers\coastcar

hope that helps
