Matte, glossy, carbon fiber and metallic livery options

[DirtyName 9]

The livery editor is just terrible, let's be honest. Other games, such as NBA 2k, have allowed players to create their own shoes and allow significant customization options, including logo placements, colors, and most important, a variety of textures on the shoes, including flat or matte finishes, glossy plastic finishes, carbon fiber, and even shiny metallics.

Even Rocket League, with it's limited decals, still allows for an amazing amount of creativity based solely on color combos and finishes. 

Codemasters already has these finishes in the game, they can be seen on a variety of existing liveries. Why can we not select them for ourselves?

Logo placement, rotation and size adjustments should also be simple to allow. 

Livery templates should not be limited by "color" options of just 2, 3 or 4 colors, but instead should only be limited by the number of colorable "elements." For example, the rear wing could have front and back color options, as well as a different finish for each specific colorable element. Each "stripe" or livery design element should be an independent color and finish option. The nose color and finish could be separate from the body or engine cover. The halo could be an independently colorable item with its own finish - including CARBON FIBER. For inspiration, just check out the shoe designer on NBA2k or the editor on Rocket League, both of which are relatively simple and yet allow for a TON of flexibility.

Finally, please allow us to place our team badge on the car in a more visible location than the tiny logo on the nose. We want the option for larger badges if possible please!

Fully agree, I bought the game mainly for my team but the livery editor is a huge, huge disappointment.

The sponsor logos in particular are dreadfully executed. It's impossible to make a decent looking car, as changing the colour of one logo affects others whether you like it or not.

Now after spending almost £60 on the game, I've learnt that I have to pay for additional liveries? An absolute insult. 

Forza have an editor which allows almost limitless creativity, is easy to use, and has been around for the best part of a decade. I wasn't expecting something as slick as that, but I was expecting something much better than what we got.

It's a shame because the rest of my team looks quite immersive and well put together, but I can't enjoy racing a car which looks so amateur.

I don't usually buy games on release day, so I'm not sure what we can expect in terms of customisation improvements via future updates?

Right?  Seeing my car running around the track in Australia, completely barren of logos (except my primary sponsor), is just awful and ruins the immersion!

Matte finishes you can select as optional?  Because if not I think you midunderstand what we're talking about.

No not as an option the finish is already there. It's a take it or leave it finish.
