Just like the title says, a simple but hopeful question with fingers and toes crossed. If I have to I will recreate most of my vinyls from Forza Motorsports 8 but hours if not weeks have gone into those creations so here is hoping for a shortcut and that they become available for transfer into Horizon 6.
As we all know we can import all of our Horizon vinyls into Forza Motorsports but not the vice versa, probably due to coding I am guessing, so really hoping that it will be possible with Horizon 6.
Any info would be appreciated ⌠a blunt all out âyesâ or even "no"would be also invaluable seeing as how I am waiting on information pertaining to this subject to either start from scratch or be pleasantly patient.
P.s. I found out all too sadly late that they were not transferable from The Horizon series to the Motorsports series.. since then of course I solely create vinyls in the Horizon series and then transfer to Motorsports if need be.
The devs said in pre-launch interviews that they were aiming to support imports from several Forza titles; however, the import support page was updated post-launch to state that you could âonly [do so] from Forza Horizon 5, due to technical limitationsâ. Thatâs likely the official answer.
Who knows why? Both games have identical shape options, colors and coordinate systems. Even features like group scaling, skewing and transparency donât allow you to create a shape thatâs not possible in FH5 - they only save the user considerable input time.
Technically, you can still route imports from older Motorsport (FM7 and older) and Horizon titles through FH5 into FH6. Why FH5 can handle all those titles but FH6 canât is a puzzler, too.
Not having FM8 support is a massive disappointment. I had at least 50-60 full liveries saved to âsidesâ and ready to go. Thankfully, I had 99% of my logo vinyls in FH5 so that theyâd be available to both series, but still, manually migrating the âline workâ by putting FM8 on one screen, and FH6 on the other, and going from one shape placement/size/rotation/skew to the next, can easily take me 1-2 hours per car. Iâve done so for several without notable issues. It works, but itâs not any fun. Hopefully, someone will figure out how to automate shape copying between titles on PC.
I think FH5 not supporting imports from FM8 was more about timing than anything. The game had already been out for 2+ years, and it wouldnât have been worth the development cycle on a low-request feature.

I think that probably translates into âwe donât want to allocate resources for thatâ instead of âitâs not technically possibleâ.
