Changing car livery?

[Julius Seizure]

So everytime I go into my garage and choose the car livery I want, as soon as I enter a race a different livery is on my car.

What am I doing wrong? :)

Thanks :P

If you choose the car you want with the livery you want and then jump into the race it should work. However, if you change your car afterwards and switch back to your original car later, the livery will no longer be loaded unless you go back into the garage again.

unfortunately, these are one of many game-design failures of pcars1. I think it is one of those features that result from SMS's no-critic-or-you-are-banned policy. Looking at the forum (also the one for pcars2) you primarly read posts from fan-boys who claim that this game is almost perfect - and why should a developer change something if "everyone" says it's already perfect... This being said, i am also not very optimistic when it comes to pcars2... .

It works for me, at least for free practice and quick race weekends. I can't comment as to whether it works for online play. After you click the arrows to select the livery you want, are you clicking inside the box to actually confirm the selection?

Edit: It works for invitational events too. Of course for normal career contract races you can't choose your livery.

Ah I worked out what I was doing wrong - I was doing the steps correctly, but when I exited the garage and was shown the car list, I re-selected my car which chose a random livery again. All I needed to do was click the back button again and it kept my choice :)

Thanks Mr Munkee and danodude. I like to retain my chosen livery for each car, esp. for multiplayer.
The other whiners in this thread should just chill./

choose livery then click on green circle to confirm. It remembers it then.
