Hel Outfit -sold as compatible with G8F- is unsupported when applied

in The Commons
I'm confused why this outfit, sold as compatible with G8F is saying it is unsupported when it is applied to the G8F character.
Is there something I'm missing?

It can be used on 8.0 you just have to add each item without fitting them to the figure then change the scene ID to g8f. (I just save out a preset so I don't have to do it again) But they really need to update the info because it doesn't work unless you do the scene ID or use autofit which can cause issues with some things and g8f is not even on the autofit list.
I will flag this up.
Why not use it on G 8.1 F? All of your G8F morphs and textures will work on it.
I guess some people with older systems are refusing to update Daz Studio because of things like crashes and Iray older GPU compatability. Those people can't use Genesis 8.1 without updating.
I haven't gone to the latest DS version because of performance issues and system requirements I have been seeing from other users, so 8.1 isn't an option for me....yet.
For me, I still can't get the dots to show up for the power pose on the face of G8.1 characters. Someone said in another thread they got it to work but no matter what I've tried, it doesn't show up and personally, I prefer power pose over FACS for quickness in animating.
Shooting from the hip here. Wouldn't 8.1 largely work in whatever version of the program you're using? You wouldn't be able to use new material presets that use the new PBR skin shader, but the figure should work. Anything using textures that don't use the new PBR skin should work.
The inheriting of the Genesis 8 morphs is not supported in older versions of DS.
ah
8.1 also doesn't add anything new, it's the same mesh.
New version of Daz/Iray doesn't work correctly opacity maps either. Which powers about half of the hair and clothing out there.
Quite frankly with notepad++ and 5 minutes I can convert a new g8.1 figure along with its hd morphs and jcm's back to g8.
