You mean the fat numbers right? I actually liked that font! I guess it does look a little dated though. Are the skinny numbers ok?

very nice skin btw care to upload?
I solved our little plug-in problem. Here are the steps

1) Make a new file, 1024x1024px, with RGB and 8-bit settings
2)Make the background non-transparent
3)Go Filter>Richard Rosenman> Portable Pixmap...
4) Click on Load, then click OK
5) Find your file, and all should be right.

To save it, just click on Save, then click OK. All good!

I recommend using bolts sf if you can find it. I use it on most of my photoshopped bikes. EG.

No offense taken. If they look bad I want to know about it. What I meant when I said just the fat numbers, is that there are two number fonts in the game - a fat font used for 1 and 2 digit numbers and a skinny font for 3 digit numbers (try using 7, and then compare with 777). The fat font has rounded serifs on it that do give it a flat track look. The skinny font doesn't have serifs. Would a non-condensed version of the skinny font look better for the single/double digits?

the 3 digit numbers look ok but the 1 and 2 digits are more old school. Personally it doesn't bother me but it would make for better pictures :D

Oh no hes been at it again i hear you cry :P ive done some "speed" modelling of a KTM sxf 250, i managed to get it down to 14000 but i know that is still too many :x im just too fussy over details 8) it runs well on my comp with at least 10 riders on the gate. Anyway some bits are a bit messy and im useless with textures :roll: so i know its a long shot but would anyone be interested in me sending them the .max file and them finishing it off :P :oops: oh well here it is Image

Heres my RC skin

http://www.megafileupload.com/en/file/3 ... 0-ppm.html

In regards to the KTM, whats with the numbers, hahahaha. Hmmm, what do you mean by textures, as in the bike colours and such? I'd give it a go, but what opens .max? Might have to look for another photoshop plug-in
