Vinyl Group Editor works nothing like FH5 Horizons on PC and is basically junk. Anyone got any idea how to write text and use the resizing etc of the decals/text etc. Can’t get anything to work. Used FH5 version for long time this is unfinished junk.,

Make your designs in FH5 and import them later to FM. Sad but true.
Tin foil hat on: that way they get player’s engagement time for both games.

That would be great, if import wasn’t broken too.

How to do this? Gran Turismo has an external decal uploader which works great.
I like to do vinyl transparencies over chrome, polished aluminum, and gold for a candy effect. When I do (or try) these in FM the transparencies turn to a matte finish. It’s pathetic how unfinished this game is after waiting six years for the release.

Yes and there seems no way to type when you get to Upper Letters 1 in create Vinyl Groups, total junk Devs.
Little update. I also got error message when I tried to import from FH5. This happened on PC. Tried later on console and it worked like a charm there. So, if someone has the option to use both platforms, then give it a try (try it on other platform, if it doesn’t work on one).
Are you on Steam? Because that might be your problem right there.
You aren’t supposed to be able to import stuff between the Xbox/Windows Store versions and the Steam versions. “Due to the differences in save file structure between Xbox and Steam platforms for previously released Forza titles”, see here.
In theory, you should be able to import from Steam FH5 to Steam FM23. Although it appears that import on the Steam version just generally doesn’t work. See this known issue.
So it will 100% work if i make them i fh4 and then import them to motorsport?
If it was directed at me, then nope, 100% Xbox ecosystem.
Still no way to write my one Vinyl Groups if using text! total MS/Xbox garbage as it is basically the same as Fh5 etc. Should have been no problem on Xbox as MS was produced for the console!!!
I’m on PC, Xbox store for FH4, 5 and FM… I can pull my stuff from FH4 but it fails to pull from FH5 - always fails to connect. Big sad.
It’s not working for me on Series S too… I try to import my huge vynils collection from FH5, the sincronized was good, but When try to import always gave me this message THERE ARE A LOT OF FILES saved, exclude some files… this is so frustating because there are some decals in my collection that I spent a huge amount of time to make… Pathetic…
I am finding that I am not able to see any FH5 liveries create after May 23, 2023. That is kind of a big problem for me, since I update a number of existing design in anticipation of moving them over to FM. Furthermore, I don’t seem to be able to access any of them from PC. It just give an error saying it can’t connect to FH5, try again later. Since I do not have a console, I need to go to xCloud in order to transfer the liveries I can see.
The fix for this is to make groups of your decals rather than have single ones on Horizon. I made groups for Wheels, Suspension, Tyres, Brakes, etc that I’ve made since FM5, put them all together then deleted any on their own.
The reason they wont import is because we have more save slots on Horizon now than on Motorsports system from FM7 so the game recognises it as having too many to bring over.
I did that a couple of weeks ago & it’s fine now. Still can’t do full recent liveries though. I deleted a load of duplicates that emptied a lot of save slots but still see nothing from the past year or so that I created on FH5.
But you can import only one file at time. I have only 4 decals on FM , anyway, I’ll give a try, thanks for the tip…
The amount of logos you have made on FM since it launched is not an issue, it’s because FH5 has more save slots than the new FM so it’s failing to sync properly & giving you the “have too many save files” message…which means too many on Horizon.
Save as many of your logos as you can together on FH5 then you’re bringing them all over in big groups rather than one at a time. You can then save them individually in FM’s editor if you want to afterwards.
It takes a bit of time grouping stuff on FH5 but once it’s done it should work on Series X…not sure about PC though.
Cannot import into the Steam version, sadly. I would have brought over some designs from FM5, FM6 and FM7 if it were possible.
