Terradyne isn’t new to FH4 Max. '58 Fury is though.

Thanks

Also in Series 8:
Wheel spacers added to 100 new cars
New livery editor “Apply a Mask Shape” allows you to apply a shape that cuts through the previous layer.

I may have made an exultant noise.

Now I’m wondering: when? It appeared the update was for April 8th, but perhaps various items Max mentioned, including the vinyl mask shape option, are coming at an unspecified later date?

Called a cookie cutter, it will allow for perfect realism.

Unfortunately, it appears to only allow us to use the default shapes for masking … based on what they showed on the stream. That will be fairly limiting if we can’t use layer groups as masks … but it is a good start to a feature we’ve been asking about for a long time. Just needs to evolve and let us use layer groups as a mask before it will really take off and be revolutionary.

Oh shame. It was a chance to have gold paint, but now only gold standard shapes. I had an idea for a Gold C3PO, and a gold Game of Thrones logo. Only possible now with a standard font.

I am very happy to know that my suggestion to “start a race for 30 seconds ghost” will be included. This will greatly improve the races !!

Wow, thank you for the info! I watched the stream but this summarization is great. Good job!

Does someone have screencaps for the Fall, Winter and Spring season prizes?

What’s up Cowboy?

I would assume it will be some of the returning cars, but I didn’t watch the stream so I don’t know, but I’m curious as well.
