That line from the recent instagram post by that german chap saying that the engineer 'ported' over (or something similar) the settings from the real life BMW gave me some hope that they will be fairly complex.

No idea. From the standpoint of the casual user though, what matters most is how much tuning affects your ability to be competitive. If you've been around these boards for a while it's not hard to get the impression, even among many hardcore GT enthusiasts, that tuning is baffling to a great many people and debates rage endlessly about the effects of camber, LSD etc. As I said, tuning in GT5/6, while limited relative to AC and PCars, was also very effective.

@jm:that does not mean it would be as complicated as hardcore sims games.And that,as Johnny said would make the game more easy(effective) to the casual gamer.Plus in order to have a really complicated set up system you also need a super realistic physics system (in order to work) as the best sim racing games have.Something that would make the game unpleasant to the big,casual fan base GT has.

I don`t know if anybody has mentioned this yet, i`m not scrolling through 658 pages but i hope we get to download created Liveries like we can in Forza. Some people like myself, or just myself, suck at making decent liveries haha.

As someone that really enjoys creating liveries and downloading others' work, I'm very curious about how it's handled in GTS. Forza has spoiled me in that regard: I found NFS' system very simplistic in comparison.
@SlipZtrEm I also like creating liveries and designs and have done since Forza2. I came across these pics, I am sure they were posted a while back but couldn't find them with the thread moving so fast. I was trying to see how the livery editor will work, with the layers zoom, rotate and scale options it looks quite detailed. Also this is from their website it says they can be 'Shared' so I would love to hear more details on what can be shared too with friends.
From their main website:
LIVERY EDITOR
Making and sharing liveries: the “Livery Editor”
Recreating liveries of existing race cars
Gran Turismo Sport is equipped with a “Livery Editor” that enables players to customise the livery of their vehicles, or even recreate the livery of their favourite race cars.
The created design can be "shared between players. Surprise your friends with your originality and level of artistry."

Ever heard of personalisation? About wanting to make your car yours? People who run racing leagues on GT would kill to have a livery editor as it can make team cars more distinct, and now is their chance.
These are only just a couple of personal liveries I did.
I don't see why people wouldn't want to make their car truly theirs.

I was going to mention how I wonder if certain brands and logos will be limited to specific cars, like not being able to place Dunlop logos on that Audi since it has Michelin tires. Seeing Falken in the dropdown list kind of kicked that question to the curb.
I am curious, however, if there will be preset groups from which to choose for each car, noting that the list shows only 49 items and majority of what is visible seems to be in theme with the car shown. It could also just be a product of a limited selection of an unfinished feature as well.

Why? Stupid hello kitty riders? Stupid virdin drivers with stupid chicks at the livery? Who cares? Pure driving is the key!

As opposed to Forza where you can only save the livery once you buy the car, in GT Sport, with its new livery editor, I really hope that you can actually download and/or save as many liveries as you want on any car and choose them like different paint schemes for Arcade Mode and online. It should also seem to have the ability to make your own decals and this some sort of way that you can paint cars you don't even own (like in Forza)

Yeah, I've seen that, but it's so vague. I've got quite a few concerns: can people freely edit other players' work? If so, can they then reshare it, passing it off as their own? Is there a credit incentive to sharing? Are all layers available for us from the start? Hopefully it's covered in a bit more detail before launch.
Yeah, real racing definitely doesn't involve unique, easily-identifiable paintjobs on cars. It's always just like this:

I can stand teams liveries but liveries for everyone is totally misuseable.
Let think about it, if you can everyrhing in livery editor GTS must to be 18 plus rated. Never will happen.

In Forza, if you make a custom livery, can other players see it in a race or do you get some generic livery on their end?

Let me make this exceedingly clear for you: do not resort to insulting others simply for not sharing your opinion.
News flash: people like different things. Luckily, you are not the arbiter of what a "real driving or racing simulator" is and isn't about.
For you. Polyphony obviously sees things differently — you know, since they're including a livery editor — so this "it's not proper" crusade is doubly silly. They've already encouraged visual customization in the PS3 games anyway: I could quite easily load up GT6 and paint a car bright neon pink with contrasting baby-puke green wheels, if I felt so inclined.
Allowing players to design liveries also frees up PD from pesky things like licensing and the time needed to do them themselves. If the livery editor is powerful enough, we can see absolutely every real-world racing team's R8 LMS recreated, plus any sort of small variations players can think of.
Yes, let's actually think about it: why do other games with functioning livery editors not all carry 18+ ratings? For the same reason they all carry fine print about how the online experience can't be given an age rating.
A simple report feature, like the one in place in games like Forza, LittleBigPlanet, or even GT6 (for custom tracks), where players can report offensive material, would solve most issues. Case in point: I've seen precisely one offensive livery in the 10 months I've played FM6 online.
Besides, a simple "Do not show custom liveries" checkbox in the options menu in GT Sport could solve this issue for those that find other peoples' creativity to simply be too much.
