Your painter/tuner just needs to "share" the paint/tune they would have gifted and the teammates can pick it up that way.

isn't that locked though, so numbers cannot be changed

I think Erebus is right. Do all the designs show up in the Recommended design section? I thought it was only a most popular type of thing.

No, you can still search for ones.

I think what will need to happen, is that somebody will have to make ALL the liveries, and upload them that way.

However, Series decals would be locked...so you couldn't share it :s

It is indeed a bit of a pickle. I was really close to cancelling this today, but I think the show will go on with our limited  availability of lobby hosting.

I will open up sign ups tomorrow, there will be no numberboxes but numbers are a must. Paints in teams can be shared in the friggin cloud, maybe under an obscure category if you dont want others to access your paint designs, and above the window must be the TORA URL, Text style 1, capital first letters of words, and lower case the remainer.

I will also set the build rules tomorrow also.

Oh mate, a non techy guy like me doesn't know what a cloud is (I'm thinking the sky maybe).
Any chance of a tutorial?

It's the sky. You need a space shuttle to give paints to your teammates.

Can't we send them by USPS or FedEx......maybe email will work! 

no, I think it has something to do with a USB

May I suggest running the short layout of Prague? It's really growing on me. I'm not so much liking the Fully Layout, too Bernese Alps/Maple Valley for me, but the short circuit is 95% legit street course

The issue on running this is that there will only be 8 drivers per lobby. Due to the fact that you cannot send game invites as before. The only ones you can invite are people that are in your chat party and that hasn't changed from the 360. Not only that, you will have to friend everyone in the series so you can invite them to your lobby.

If we have two parties per lobby, we can have two "hosts" that invite the drivers into the party and then into the game.

We got 15 of us in a lobby on launch night so I don't think that will be a problem.

You can find and invite people that are not on your friends list into your party from the friends screen.

I'll be signing up to this, just not sure what I can make as I am working quite a bit over the next few months.I think to promote the use of FM5 and show that the community does indeed want to run in organised races we need to try and make this work in some form.

Paint the car, save, change numbers , save, share ?

Wrong on the party amount, i know you can have around 30/32 in party chat.

That is for game chat, not party chat. I'm sorry everyone, until this game get's fixed or something new that actually works comes along, I cannot support FM5 in any way, shape or form. I will support this community in every way possible, just not the game. Right now, I have a $140 bad taste in my mouth because of this game. That is a bunch of money I am out of and can't really afford living on a fixed income. This is just my opinion.

You can blame the people who sell Vinyls unlocked to people who end up selling them as their own. They complained to Turn 10 and in turn screwed us. So stupid how so few people can affect the Majority of communities like TORA who rely on Vinyl and Tune Sharing.

Also why the Hell did they take out the ability to Spectate and save online Replays. The YouTube and Twitch Channels are screwed now. To save both channels TORA will have to stream FM4 TCR Series until those features are put in FM5. (If they ever are.)

Guys, I think this issue has sort of been resolved. Thought I'd have a look at the lobby settings etc. When i clicked to change the settings, on that first box where your select car etc is, there is now INVITE FRIENDS. Although you still cant invite friends of friends.

wot you talking bout beanzy, you dont have that many freinds  
When can we see a build list for this, itching man itching.

The build is already up tubbi lol

playing FM5 right now is like eating a half cooked sausage, way to screw the pooch eh!.

Looks great, loving the trigger rumble but fundamentally its useless to guys like us and for the purpose we want it for.

I,ve actually resurrected my forza tunes book I kept when sharing tunes on FM2, how much of a step backwards is that!.

Yep, sorry didnt see that.

Very simple paint scheme. Well, it's not like anyone will be taking photos of this championship.

Are we definitely racing the old mini not the newer one?
