The polish car contains lithuanian symbol Maybe because we have had a union for a few hundred years
respect for your effort

Actually, I think this pack of cars from all countries should have been included in the game. Lucky for some people that you're here to create them anyways.

This also gave me a new idea, and I really don't know why it would be useful, but I could maybe create signs from all the countries to fit to the cars. I doubt that people will use them often but it sounds cool.

Thank you guys for pointing that out.
I had to look into my notes and folders to find out what happened here, but... The symbols on the side of the Polish Car are from Historic Coat of Arms graphics:

If you look closely at the Lithuanian Hood (or Bonnet) and the side of the Polish Car you'll see that they are in fact a bit different. I used some historic graphics on smaller sections of many cars. The graphic near the rear wheel is also a historic Poland graphic.
However, if anyone feels that in some way it is offensive or inappropriate I will change it. I have no intention whatsoever to offend anyone or any Nation. There were so many that I did that it is hard to know what people might like. With 197 cars I knew there would likely be a few things off. Thanks again for pointing it out.

Should it be changed or is it Ok?

It was hard to decided, but The Republic of the Congo is my favorite.

Wow.
Knowing who you are now, I'm excited to hear that you even took the time to look at them. It takes a while to just take a quick look at each one. Thank you and the rest of the team.

The reason why Lithuanian coat of arms is in the article about Polish coat of arms is because two countries were merged into one, Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth (wiki article here)used both symbols to describe one country. I don't feel offended or sth but I'm just indicating an error I'd suggest you replacing that with a simple stripe or sth, if you want to use a symbol, white stork would be fine. It's not an official symbol but is often associated with the country

wow, props to you mate, that was a helluva work. i appreciate your effort for making almost 200 skins

Andrus:
Thank you. I'm enjoying learning more about the Countries of the world. I have many nationalities in my ancestry including a bit of Polish. I will see what I can do. I got behind on many projects by working on this one for so long but I will try to address this when I am able.

SuperP:
I appreciate that from you. I've seen your work. I wish I'd had the time to achieve the quality you do.

Ok.
I got some spare time and managed to rework the Poland Car a bit. Is this a little more to your liking?
And here is a link to DL just the Poland Car Version 2: [REMOVED] (can now be found in the current World Cars pack)

Thanks for the feedback.
