I would be 100% content with that because even when I played FM1-4, I rarely touched the livery editor.

I would use it... But mainly what I want a livery editor for is so I can make my cars look unique, the way I want and to put some signs of my car club on them. Or, whatever.

... I really had a big hope for a full livery editor, like in Forza... but I am not very good at English, so I am not sure if I understood right, but I think translator-san said that there won't be a full livery editor
... One of my saddest days this month
May somebody tell me what he really said?
What he said bud.
Yeah this will do just fine.

Fortunately, at this point, ANY livery editor is good. I do hope we see an extensive one in the future....a la PS4.
What bothers me the most, and I'm sure many of you will agree, is that Kazunori and the PD staff allow us to modify a lot of things: weather conditions. How unpredictable the weather will be. How wet the track surface will be. How quickly daylight/time progresses throughout a race. The starting time, in hours and minutes, that a race can start. How many players can be in an online room. The extent that damage can affect our cars mechanically. Or visually. The level of boost. The slipstream strength. ETC, ETC.
And yet, we cannot put a stripe on our cars. Not one. Not two. But PD has no problem putting them on special cars for us. Worst of all, the cars are the stars of the game. The cars. The vehicles. The things with wheels that have captured our imagination since youth. And somehow they're the least thing we can tinker with it seems (outside of some rims and a few added aero parts). It's got to change. I'm skeptically hopeful.

I do wish kaz would go for the livery editor. I would probably play GT6 forever if it had it.
Well, here's a car in GT5 at the moment; the Nissan Skyline R33 TC.
With a livery editor, I would make these out of that one car:

Indeed, proper customisation of vehicles can make a little seem like a lot.

Agree, I think the dumbest part was not being able to color the stripes on cars that had them.

Because I forgot about it at the time I was posting examples.

More stupid than that was having no idea which cars had stripes that would get completely painted over when changing the base paint.

So...I was playing rFactor 2 today with the Megane Trophy car...went to ISI Forums (official rFactor site) and went straight to the "livery thread"...found a japanese guy who made this...(my pictures)
Yup..."we DON´T need a livery editor..."
(I asked the guy to make the Nissan GT-R and Corvette C6 liveries as well since we have both cars in rF2)
PS: Judging by what you can do and by how PD does things...if they give us "special" cars with liveries...will it be possible to have a livery editor in the game?...I mean, if you can do exactly the same thing as they offer?
Imagine how not so special the anniversary cars will be if we get a livery editor and can make the same thing in our cars.
By that logic I think we won´t be getting a livery editor...maybe some kind of weird "paint chip" system again. Or decals at best.

A basic livery editor?
At this point in the GT series any sort of livery editor would be fine...

I'd be careful with that. Some people consider being able to change the colour via paint chips in GT5 to be a livery editor...

...who said that? Exactly, where?
I agree that paint chip repainting =/= livery editor, but sometimes you have to take compromise by game mechanics. Look at some racing leagues using road cars.

TD I believe is one of those that has used this line before and some other well noted biased GT fans.
A basic editor could be a twofold thing:
a) A paint shop where we can choose from colors without having to use a limited supply paint chips. Go ahead and charge me for painting the car. If I can get past the paint chip limits, then I'll be happy.
Note: We know paint chips will be used, however. I'd be okay with them allowing us to match specific manufacturer colors. Even if we had an RGB value selector, it could be hard to get the codes we need.
b) There would also need to be some decals that can be applied. Some basic shapes, numbers and stripe types would be enough. A number of manufacturer decals would be great. We've seen quite a few names all over the courses and the race cars, so they're definitely licensed for use in the game. Let's have the option to put them on our own cars too.
Note: The 'smart' racing number plates used on the RM cars were very impressive, imho. Would it be possible to put them on other cars? People spend quite a bit of time in other livery editors making static number plates from scratch, starting with basic shapes. Having one that is already made and with an adjustable number and font style would be amazing.
