Stickers on windows

[NoNo_R_360]

It can be great to add stickers on windows, headlights, or every wheel independantly.
Add some logos, give color on some part of the wheel. Have different color on fr and rr wheels.

Or maybe add transparent filter on lights (yellow lights for a race category in a championship for example)

[Staff Edit - for implementation and tracking purposes we need topics to be limited to one idea each. Treat this topic as voting for window stickers only, and use other topics to vote on painting rims and headlights separately. - TTMM]

I Do agree
Other racing games have it, i want FM have it as well

It would also be cool if we could paint the metallic parts, such as the bull bars. Some older cars like the 240z also have metallic frames around the windows that can’t be painted.

Despite all the painters asking for 8 titles in a row, we still cannot put vinyls on windows.
This is a feature in NFS games so it really can’t be that hard to implement. Just another way to let the painters down.
Can this be fixed please?

Why did this get merged with a suggestion thread?
It’s an issue! Not a suggestion! I was reporting a genuine problem with the game.

[T10ManteoMax]

The Troubleshooting Hub is for features that the developers put into the game but are not working as intended. The absence of painting on windows is not a bug. As above, this is a request by the community to add a feature into the game, so it goes into the Suggestions Hub.

In an old thread from last year which will never be read. Cool

I’ll just have to play NFS unbound if I want to add numbers and sunstrips. Embarrassing

[AWR_BigFawn]

We should be able to paint the sunstrip’s of every GT/TC/Prototype. Its ridiculous that we’re stuck with the factory GTD sunstrips, or no sunstrip at all. Adding full windshield painting would be great for private leagues too

[DEATHTRAP_REXX]

was literally just coming on to post this myself!! we should have the option to paint/add a customizable sun strip on all cars, its fairly common in the real world when you go to a track!

[AWR_BigFawn]

Then vote for it! Gotta make sure they see this

[OG_HalkarN]

The option to add windshield banners should be added.

The most racecars have window stickers by default but when you make your own design you can’t keep or add window stickers.

Window stickers should be added. Maybe a banner option like gt7 have or that you could add stickers freely on the windows yourself.

Windows section should be added in design editor.

[PizzaEnjoyer685]

This would make a great tool for the painters. I would love to see what they can make with this!

[Zly_Tomaszek]

A lot… the decals on the roof are mostly squeezed when the sunstrip is not paitable…

What i will mention here, the decals on the sunstrip of 2018 Porsche 991 GT3… please make it removal…

Not only we can’t paint it… it destroy the look of a design with those white/green stripes on it…

[Bugga_Boo_Too]

Customize front window on all cars.

[JayMacleod09]

Yeah this would be really cool but what i would also like to see is the ability to paint mirrors on every car. Because some cars for example the renaultsport 08 you arent able to paint the mirrors because it says its a different material

Several cars featured in Forza Motorsport, such as the 2018 Mercedes-AMG GT3, 2020 Lexus #14 Vasser Sullivan RC F GT3 and the 2019 Ferrari #62 Risi Competizione 488 GTE, have been recently added in Forza Horizon 5. Unlike in Forza Motorsport, in Horizon 5 it’s possible to place decals on the area of their default windshield banners.

Likewise, we’ve lost the ability to paint the windshield banners of many cars that were present in previous Forza Motorsport titles, such as Forza Motorsport 7.

The ability to customize the windshield banners of racecars is important both to the creation of accurate replicas of real-life liveries, and for players participating or organizing racing leagues. With this in mind, could we get:

1. A modification to the many racecars with windshield banners already present in game that would allow us to customize them and

2. going forward, paintable windshield banners as the “default” option for racecars?

[Miss_Buki]

As the title says- allow paint layers and decals to be painted on top of and around the windows and windshields of various cars.

This would allow us to properly change the banners of GT3 cars or others that don’t have areas to paint on top of the windshield or won’t let us change the colors, as well as to properly replicate designs from the real world with decals or numbers that would be on the windows.

This doesn’t have a gameplay issue whatsoever, as these decals shouldn’t be visible in first person or won’t be transferred over to obstruct your view.

[MXR_Sparky]

I fully agree, can I also add that on LMDh’s (963 & V.Series R) you can’t apply Porsche or Cadillac to the windshield banner area, really hope that changes. Also the rear wing itself you can’t apply anything which is an oversight.

[EWicken72]

If this feature gets added, these kids are going to want to put Pixar Cars eyes on the windshield.

[NWR_Twichy]

I know this isn’t the first time this topic has been brought up, but there’s an aspect of the game that’s existed since launch that needs to be addressed: cars with unpaintable windshields and windshield banners/sunscreens.

This is an issue that has plagued Forza Motorsport since launch and has significantly hindered the creative community. Of the dozens of GT3, TCR, prototype, and other race cars that feature windshield banners or sunscreens, only a handful can actually be painted. There seems to be no rhyme or reason behind which are paintable, which makes the problem all the more frustrating.

For example, in the touring car class, only three cars have windshield banners that can be painted, recolored, or redesigned so that custom liveries can feature sponsors above the windshield (Mercedes, Honda, & Audi). Of the remaining cars in the class, some have their banner reset to yellow, others to white, and the rest revert to black.

The most frustrating part of this all is it seems like a complete lottery when a new car is added to the game whether or not the windshield banner is paintable. There is no pattern with manufacturer, car division, model year, the date the car was introduced to Motorsport, or any other traits.

Why is this a problem?

In almost every motorsports series on the planet, cars feature advertisements on their windshield banners/sunscreens. Whether they feature a manufacturer name and class designation like in IMSA, a series sponsor like in the MX-5 Cup series, or a driver name and number like in the V8 Supercars series, every race car with a windshield banner features some form of customization.

In a motorsports-focused game with such a creative livery community, the ability to accurately and fully replicate one’s favorite driver’s or team’s livery depending solely on the random chance that the developers decided to make the windshield banner paintable is a serious issue.

Solution

Aside from going back through and redesigning the UV maps on all of the purpose-built racecars in the game, what’s the solution? Add an additional sub-menu to the livery editor that allows drivers to fully paint the front and rear windshields. Let us replicate our favorite drivers’ liveries on every car.
