Real car "painting"

Recommended Posts

Hey, I've been playing the game for a few days, and there's no patch to make the cars livery like the real (name and number on the shark fin, different numbers for some teams, etcetera) yet. Will there be a patch or not? If yes, when would it go out? If no, why?

Supposedly these issues are not just "cut and paste" jobs and require some time, if CM deem these issues to be game breaking then maybe they will do something about it... otherwise...maybe next year..

Eventually it will get done, any change to liveries has to be approved by the teams themselves, CM will update the cars when this happens.

There will be Franco, in time, once all of FOM sign off. The game isn't as bad as half the people with very little knowledge on how hard it is would have you think

So if you go any deeper in detail and know, how Codies structured the files (like with the personal numbers), you get to know why they need so much time. All the numbers are pre created and it's just a image file shown on the car. For the short names, you'd need all the possibilties from AAA to ZZZ, which would make a total of around 17.000 files per team. That's just too big and so this is not a possibility. So they need to search another possibility, which just isn't that easy with the current engine. On the pitboard this system is already working, just by putting all the letters by one together. They need to implement this system to the car's skin, so it might take some time!
