I need help with my skins

Post by sk84life933 »

I'm having trouble with my bike skins. I have the version 1.3 update and it still doesn't work. I have all bikes up to 2009, I don't know if there are 2010 bikes. I tried looking but I could not find them. If anyone could help me, that would be awesome :mrgreen:

There are no 2010 models, so don't worry about those. I don't really get what's going wrong, you haven't explained it well enough, but it sounds like you have the models and skins, but some aren't working? You should try things like:

1. Make sure the model and skin files are in your Mx Simulator folder ("C:\Program Files\MX Simulator", or wherever you have your folder)

2. Make sure you have the default skins in your Mx Simulator folder that fit the 2009 models (rmz250.png, crf250.png, kx250f.png, yz250f.png)

I think there needs to be a download link for the default skins, because a lot of people don't have them, or have problems with getting them to work.

I hope this helps.

I uploaded my default skins so everyone can get them. Just download this file (i hope it works), extract the files from the .rar file, and put the skins in your Mx Simulator folder.

Maybe this link can go in the Necessary Rider+Bike Models thread.

What did you do when you downloaded the file? And what did you do to get that? I'm pretty confused of what actually went wrong.

You just want to download the file to somewhere you know where it is, cut and paste it into your Mx Simulator folder, then extract it. You said that it doesn't let you extract it? It doesn't give you this when you right click it?:

And if it does, just click extract here, and the images will pop up in there, and you're done.

You have to download Winrar. That's the program that lets you extract the files from .rar and .zip files.
