Tire anomaly

Just fired up my GTL install and noticed a 'Tire anomaly' in a practice session, it looks like a circular pattern on the tire   
It doesn't seem to affect every car, and only seems to occur at certain tracks   
Anybody else have anything like this happen to them??

That sounds like it could be a simple case of the same file name in the tracks as you have for the tires on your car. Try a different tyre and see what happens or does it still hap[pen with a different car?

I did have a problem like that once but there were more things affected... it was my graphics car dying.   

Hope it's not that m8!!

I thought it might be something like that GeeDee, but it seems to affect cars using different tires, and it doesn't always happen on every track, its bizarre   
I'll post a screen grab tomorrow, it looks like a circular pattern, running down the center of the tire, almost like a 'Chain link' look, around the tire   
Don't think its the GFX card, cause everything else looks fine, just can't think what would be causing it   

The problem you mentioned is a texture naming fault, probably the most popular one being =
Black.dds or .tga but both that certain car & track share the same texture name but not the image.

Here is an example-


If you can find which combination of car & tracks I will look at fixing  

Hi Rick, yes, its similar to that, but what look like white circles running down the center of the tire.
Almost looks like its got stickers on them, like when you have new tires fitted to your car   
The thing I don't understand is that its seems to have just occurred, with cars that have been in the game for ages?
The Porsche 911 RSR, Mazda RX3, Ford Escort RS2000, Those are the cars I've noticed in GTC-76, and tracks so far are Monza Junior, and Mondello short.
I wouldn't have noticed but I was adding some new helmets to cars and was using practice sessions to see that they were showing up   

Perhaps a recent mod that you installed is to blame. Think back to when it happened and what you have installed since.   

Are you sure it is just that combination of cars\tracks as the only one that is not a default car is the Mazda & I cannot find any texture clashes with that & the tracks.
All the cars use= tyre,tread,black & tread00 textures which have no connections with texture names in the tracks.

So to conclude all I can think is it must be another car or a skin with added parts causing this issue? If you could post a picture that would help to trace the offending part   

Not at my home puter at the mo, will post a piccy tomorrow   
Those are just some of the ones I've seen with the problem, the BMW CSL has the problem also, I'll check to see which others have it, and see if other tracks are involved.

could also be goodyear or pirreli name in a banner and on tire

I have converted the screen grab to jpg, so hopefully you can see the pattern on the tires, its sort of 'Easter egg' shaped white ovals, anyway, here's the piccy

Sorry but the pic is too far away to see the pattern    you needed to press the "page up" button to get a close-up 3rd person veiw (as in my pic) but heyho..

The best thing to do is use napes cartools or the gtl Xcars program to remove (temporarily) all the non default cars in the gtc76 section, then add 1 at a time until the offending one is revealed (bit like an Agatha Christie novel)

Sorry about that, the hosting site with the first picture, close up, only hosts it for 2 hours

I'll try and post a better picture later, and try your suggestion as well

I have been Looking back on other sites to see what cars have been added to the gtc76 class
and it seems quite a few from Grid & Forza have appeared, now quite a number of these give you tyre (tire for the Colonials) choices which Ron hit upon 6 posts up.  

1 of the cars that was causing other cars to have the same skin was the (alleged) improved Chevy 57   

It may take some time but omitting all non default cars then adding 1 back at a time is the best soloution for now.

I do not think it is a track issue btw   

Which is what I said in the first instance... by gum, my new age as a pensioner has given me a new dimension!!

Haven't been able to get to my game PC cause of work     but thank you all for your help with this   
Been racking my brain to think what has been added to GTC-76 recently   
This is going to be one of those 'Hair Tearing' bugs I bet    

Take all the cars out of the game apart from say 6 mods an stuff the rest in a folder just inside the GTL folder. Keep adding 6 cars at a time until the fault appears. That way you will only have the last 6 cars to check through... hope that helps Nik.
