====**Mask Map Texture**====

The Mask Map Texture is the image that selects the texture and where that texture is used on your track.  The scene file for your track maps a texture to each channel in the Map Mask image.   You paint in your Mask Map image where you want those textures to go.

The Mask Map image is 1024 x 1024 for an SX track and 2048 x 2048 for a National.

** Mask Map main image **:

~- Overlay_Base texture - Paint black where ever you want your main dirt texture to be.  Normally most of your track path will be this color.
~- Overlay_R texture - Paint Red where you want your red channel texture to be.  This would normally be an alternate dirt. 
~-Overlay_B texture - Paint Blue where you want your blue channel texture to be.  This seems to be typically a grass texture or off track texture.  
~-Overlay_G texture - Paint Green where you want your green channel texture to be.  This seems to typically be rocks or an alternate grass texture.

It is possible to mix your R, G, B textures.  Moto 448 uses Blue and Green together to mix grass and leaves.

** Mask Map Alpha Channel:**

The alpha channel on the Map Mask appears to turn on the wet look to textures.  More experimentation is needed.  Use a black alpha and where you want the textures to appear wet use use some percentage of white.  Dell Lago Orlo uses 50% white where there is snow and Moto 448 uses 128 where there is water.
