Layer shifting?

A question to you fellow painters. Are you experiencing moving layers a.k.a. layer shifting?

It´s not as bad as in Forza 2 days but my layers are definitely moving. For example when creating a logo (vinyl group) and saving the that logo in the editor. When I´m loading the same logo the basic vinyl shapes has moved. This tend to lead to jagged edges and gaps in the layer groups. This is mega annoying when trying to create accurate logos. The groups did not move as much in FM5 and 6.

Anyone else experiencing this?

Definitely had some issues but slightly different to yours.

I decided to stay with FM7’s editor & import my vinyl groups. So far there are no problems with layer shifting when I open them up in Horizon’s Vinyl editor but I have noticed some weird goings on when I come to do my layouts in the Livery editor.

INSERT ALL FROM RIGHT/LEFT SIDE can occasionally flip groups within the Group and also sometimes swap their positions in the sequence which can be a pain to rectify. I ungroup/cut/insert to resize and even if the initial Group is fine, I’ve had layers ‘shift’ as soon as I perform the first ‘Ungroup’.

Irritating but just another tricky thing to add to the challenge which is Forza Painting, I suppose :smirk:

I have had some layer shifting in the designer, but I also have a difference in the layers in the designer and the actual car when driving.

Well…it looks like that to me. In the editor I have lined up 2 layers perfectly (it is the “53” logo on the hood of Herbie, one half on the front bumper and the other on the hood). If I look at it in the editor from different angles, and look at it in photomode it looks like one big circle. However when driving around and using the stick to look around the car they don’t match up like it should.

I’ve definitely experienced that with a few vehicles- like you say, in photo mode they’re ok, but driving they’re messed up.

I’ve experienced the same thing as Midnyte, with random layer groups flipping when ungrouped. I did start a support ticket on it, which has been marked as resolved but tried tonight with some layer groups I’ve brought across from FM7 and still happening.

Still not 100% on the layer shifting, I’ve thought it’s happened on occasion but sometimes I wonder if it’s just me to be fair, the old eyes aren’t what they were.

ive seen it in the editor as wel, put to pieces tightly against eachother and then move em around, and there is suddenly a gap.

Thanks for the input guys! It seems that some movement of layers is occurring.
I have´t experienced the flipped layer groups yet. Maybe that´s FM7 import thing?

I’m noticing the jagged edged like that too. Nothing has been flipped though and I’m making most of my logos in Forza 7

Yep, I’m always fighting the positioning of the layers. And alignment has also become a certain issue recently as well. Luckily I wasn’t the only one who thought they were bugging out. I have to constantly zoom in and out all the time to make sure things are straight.
