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...

Then there's the option to share you works with the storefront feature...that was the absolute peak of community related feature at the time, nothing even come close until GT Sport & GT7.
Good times. I'm a forza painter & have hundreds of hours spent creating decals & liveries through the years. Pretty sure I've spent more time designing cars than actually race them since recent titles have been the same old same old haha.
I got into the F1 games not too long ago & as you can imagine the disappointment in the lack of customization compared to other racing games was immense.
@RokzZzReign Really missed the Forza 3 & 4 days, the community was just so active, and the dev actually paid a lot of care and promote us fellow painters.
Livery editor in general (of the industry) had gone quite stagnant, no one except Polyphony atm seems to care about stepping up their game at all.

@Apophis-STRBy forza 3-4 I assume you mean the motorsport series right? If so then I totally agree mate. FM4 was the peak of the forza experience. All forza games are good, but lacking creativity recently. The Gran Turismo guys are definitely the creative ones out there. They have their own formula 1 like cars & make their own crazy beefed up rally cars from cars you can see being rally monsters. Very creative bunch.
Imagine Forza or GT got their hands on the F1 license... holy mother.
@RokzZzReignYea the motorsport series, from FM5 onward they've dropped so many things from past games that I just could no longer feel as attach to them as before...even with the massively increase layer count in the editor.
I always like how GT series has so many fictional race cars, the Polyphony guys are really liberate with their imagination, basically like materializing what we imagine as kids.
Oh you want a Group B style Impreza, sure.
How about an NSX rally car, yes!
And they actually made it in a way that make sense.@Apophis-STR Agreed. From FM5 onwards it's been a bit meh. Horizon series added more customization options but still lacking a lot imo. GT was left behind for a while but they've catched up with DRS active loo.
Either way, both are miles ahead of Codemasters stuff. They should learn a thing or 2 from them. Or better yet, give up the F1 license.

Look at the huge difference a simple tool makes. It most definitely can be easily done. Are they just too lazy to do it though? Most likely.
