Agreed with the point that there wouldnt be an official licence plate on race cars, but i'd rather something better was done with them than just removing them from those cars.
Its been said a billion times before, but i'll say it again.... we need pre-set areas on the car model (& skin) which holds specific decal strips.
If you had a car skin and then a personalised decal skin then you'd be able to modify things like the plates to have those Racing style plates shown on the Merc DTM cars, you could still go with a text plate like now, or opt to display an 'decal' or skin.
I really think we need 2 tier skins in LFS, if you think about all the LFS teams, if each driver has his/her own personalised skin thats about 100k per car, but if instead the whole team had there own paintjob (as in real life) however you had a 'decal sheet' which is overlayed on various models, then you'd knock chunks out of the skins transfers, the amount of skins stored in your SkinsX folder and on LFSWorld etc.
If you had mixed sized banners, like 300x100, 200x50 etc like website banners which were overlayed on skins (PNG's ?) which specifically hold a racing number decal which could include number, driver name, national flag
and team/event/LFS sponsors etc
GTR cars could use the larger ones because those cars have larger surface area, cars like the MRT would just have smaller ones due to limited spaces, but ultimately you'd still have your full race skin on a seperate file like XFR_[teamname].jpg.
I know thats going off-topic, but adding this would make so much sense i just dont see why it wasnt done years ago! Theres numerous advantages to this, lower filesizes for racers & LFSWorld, less skinning for skinners (specifically the poor folks doing them for teams, making X number of skins which are 99% identical per car).
