PCA Sim Racing Series 15 Decals
===============================

Introduction
------------

The car used in Series 15 is the Porsche 911 GT3R (992).
There are 6 PCA classes for Series 15: SuperPro, Pro, Club, Sport, Challenge and Entry.
Each class is identified on track using different colors and text on the car's decals.

While Series 15 races will be single class, with the exception of SuperPro and Pro which race together,
eDEs and practice races run during the series will usually feature multiple classes of drivers sharing the track. 
Knowing the class of other drivers around you will be useful during the eDEs and practices.

Package Contents
----------------
This package contains two different sets of files: .psd files and .tga files.
There is one .psd file and one .tga file for each driver class.

.psd files
Use a .psd file if you intend to add your class decals to your livery 
using a graphics editing software, such as Adobe Photoshop or GIMP. 

.tga files
.tga files can be used to add your class decals on top of your livery 
using the Trading Paints website (no graphics editing involved).
Note: a Trading Paints Pro subscription is required and custom decals can
only be applied to paints you uploaded or produced yourself.

You will typically only use one file, either a .psd file or a .tga file.

.psd Instructions
-----------------
 Please use the correct decal file for the class you are in. The class is indicated in the file name,
for example, "Porsche 992r GT3_v1.0_Challenge.psd" is the Challenge class decal file.

Use your preferred graphics editing software (GIMP, Photoshop or other) to replace the layer called 
"Car_decal" in the iRacing car paint template with the PCA Sim Racing Series 15 decal layer, for example
"PCASR S15 Decals Challenge". 

The iRacing car paint template can be found here:

.tga Instructions
-----------------
Please use the correct template file for the class you are in. The class is indicated in the file name,
for example, "car_decal_sport.tga" is the Sport class decal file. Use the Trading Paints website to upload 
your class decal file and apply it to your custom paint.
Note: in Trading Paints, decals can only be added to paint files you uploaded if you have a Pro subscription.
