Better livery customization please?
I think we all know why we haven't gotten an custom livery creator still (so they can push microtransactions), but can we at least have the option to place the sponsor logos anywhere on car, resizing...
Forum Discussion
@RokzZzReign So the problem with rotating etc. is that at least on the current engine the liveries dont work that way.. It would probably be quite a bit of work to get that coded but i agree its needed.
What for me would also help a lot and should in theory be easier than complete freedom of the sponsor spots is to be able to have different finishes for sponsors and all helmet colors - hate this years helmets so much - and also the car number (which we should be able to change the color of)..
Ideally also car number font a few choices:
- outline for sponsors and numbers (like Ferrari white 16 for Leclerc, yellow 55 for Sainz while the number itself is black)
- whether we want a sponsor on our helmet or not
- As you said Pirelli and engine supplier logos
- Sponsors with not only a name as a logo but actual logos like Red Bull, Shell, Petronas - obviously we cant get those but just like them actual logos and not just a name
But yeah heres lots to improve..

MOTO GP comes to mind too when thinking of freedom of customization. It should've been a thing years ago & if it takes a bit of work to do, well then, they should do it because they've had enough time & it's their job? It definitely could've been a thing, but we know why they haven't.
Imagine if they put the time, effort and resources they wasted on F1 life & used them for customization.
But yeah, you mentioned a lot of great customization options we should have & it's just sad in 2022 we still don't have them.
@RokzZzReign F1 mobile editor was added shortly before 22 was released. So we or I did get a bit excited fully expecting it to be in this game
However after lasts years liveries. I had all off them. But only a few were usable. This year at least most are usable and we atleast get paint finish choice now.
So a little happier. But far from good enough. And agree with having more sponsor options and different number font and colours
also shift one and two had great editors.. why was made by slightly mad studios.. who codemasters bought. And published by ea who obviously bought codemasters. So they have a livery editor in there somewhere.. and it’s probably being used to make the livery options we get😂
@ScarDuck14Shift 1 & 2...? Those two were probably the worst (actual) livery editor I've ever used. They were hilariously buggy, no mirror option, no option to save your design, no position guides, very limited shape options...it was extremely difficult to use.
The only redeemable factor was how you can place decals on the windows...but those were very limited as well.
The only revolutionary editor at that time was Forza 2 -> 3, and since then only the current GT7 editor could top it, the rest of the industry was still 20+ years behind...we don't even have something like the Shutokou Battle Zero One & Racing Battle C1 GP from the early 2000s lol...
