    Hello

    I thought, would be cool a real time painter in the vehicle selection menu like garage.
    Now we can color cars, but no real time

    What do you think?

    Might also be about the fact that the thumbnail isn't affected by color changes.

    Forza style paintjob editors aren't really useful IMHO for PC based sims. I find them frustrating to use compared to just making skins using GIMP on a car with decent UV maps.

    I get that, but the Forza style could help people who are a little scared to edit car files and stuff. I tried doing it once but finding the correct file types and whatnot was enough for me, so I knew I couldn't do the rest without causing myself immense amounts of stress.

    That is, of course, assuming this is what the OP is suggesting.

    Yeah, although that's probably more due to the fact that skinning in beamNG requires some basic understanding of the material system and jbeam component system.

    It adds a layer of complication compared to something like iRacing, where you literally just put a png with the correct name in the correct folder.
