Do they start handing out free cars as affinity rewards at any point?

No, everything I've heard it's just money bonuses from level 5 to 50. Might as well just get to level 4 in every manufacturer you think you will ever upgrade cars in first. Takes only like 15 minutes to get level 4 affinity and free upgrades for that manufactuer.

[LLJK] guys, had some amazingly fun races tonight. I shared my C423 '69 Fairlady Z with the club, you guys should take it for a spin and see what you think. It's Logue approved, so that's worth something, right? :haw:

I know this isn't the "where is my copy" thread. Just wanted to say that I pre-ordered from Dell on 10/2 and my LCE order is still in limbo. I suspect I'll either get one next week or be poo poo out of luck and have to get the standard version.

I only bring this up because I am missing out on joining clubs while I am waiting to see how this is resolved. Thank you to all the goons who friended me during the demo. I'll report back when I know something about when I'll actually own the game.

Please keep posting screens and stuff, I will have to live vicariously through you all until this unfortunate matter is resolved.

not only that, but it seems to max out at 75 grand a level, and the levels get painfully hard to reach.

I don't know how they managed it but Turn10 hosed up the vinyl editor. Vinyls now have an ugly border around them that makes masking anything off look terrible.

After starting to recreate my Bilstein/Sirius livery for the Aston V12 I noticed that same thing too, a trick I've found out is that if you cover each section of the car completely with a body color vinyl layer it doesn't do the lines anymore. Really baffling how badly T10 hosed that up. Also Sunday do you take requests for custom liveries/logos? I have an idea but not the vision so I'm wanting to pass it off on someone who knows their stuff.

Also anybody know what the first patch was for by the way?

From http://forums.forzamotorsport.net/forums/thread/4875997.aspx

· Various track visual upgrades

· Various UI improvements

· Fixed Rivals Track Day exploit where users can gain advantage by forcibly pitting AI cars

· Fixed Drag leaderboard exploit that gave players time advantage by loading tuning file (To coincide with this fix, we will be wiping the drag leaderboards in the near future)

· Fixed issue where importing a Forza 3 profile does not award credits to Xbox LIVE Silver members

· Fixed issue where some livery editor layers were appearing as corrupted when importing from Forza 3

We continue to monitor for gameplay issues, and are investigating a number of these--including a few related to the 900-degree wheel--for a future title update.

I swear to zombie jeebus that they cut/pasted the A.I. from burnout revenge into this game, Why would you break hard and pull right on a gentle left hand bend?
I there a bonus for clean laps in career mode? because im really struggling to even place when i try to dodge the crazy AI antics.

Also the music sounds like it was writen by a retarded monkey with a fisher-price My first keyboard.

Other than that great game :)

Edit: I should post more it makes my next lap magicaly clean and full of win

Really enjoying the new tracks, even though I wasn't that excited for them when they were announced. Hockenheim is suprisingly good to race on, moreso at sunrise. Infineon is fun. Nurburgring GP track is very good, wishing I hadn't skimped on this in Forza 3. Lots of new cars for me, too, since I never bought a DLC car pack in 3. Only really had a look at a bit of everything so far, but I can see that Rivals is where most of my time is going to be spent, that poo poo is addictive.

Any of you without the cash-income-problem when running a fanatec-wheel? I'm just curious about having to run this game in 210 degrees wheel-mode until a proper fix, or if it's just bad luck for some ...

Also, any thoughts on the best way to install / transfer the old profile?

I'm rank 30 or so in Forza 3 (can't quite remember, I seem to have thrown away the game-disk). Anyhow, being a proud owner of a very early production xbox with a tiny disk, should I delete Forza 3 before I install 4, or wait until I can somehow port over the profile? Haven't really seen any how-to on this. I'm sure I can't install Forza 4 as it is now, because 80% of the disk is used by Forza 3.

I just spend about a million credits on 23 cars from the auction house and increased my garage value by at least 4 million. The value has been destroyed on pretty much every prize car up to level 30 in there, which is a bonus for collectors.

I did that yesterday, because I love the ring, but getting a clean lap is such a pain. Everytime you gently caress up it's 7 minutes down the drain. My best clean lap is still one from a standing start, and even there I got progressively more cautious and slower towards the end.

Really? So far in my career mode the AI has been as dumb as a box of hammers, and there doesn't seem to be a setting in the Difficulty menu to make them harder/smarter.

Another note regarding that video. If you happen to be driving an RX-7 because you don't have an upgraded Hummer, make sure you do your passing quickly. Otherwise you may end up being smashed into a wall and the Hummers will learn that smashing in to you causes them no damage and pretty much no slowdown either.

I was doing pretty well with my racing, but the AI got a jump on me when I switched to the b class cars. My lines need to be very clean now to win the races.

That was also in Forza 2 & 3. What you do to get rid of it is put a big square on the 1st layer that has your base colour and use that as a background. Voila, no more borders.

Just sent out a couple more invites for SAEG. If anybody is still wanting in then leave me a message or contact Falken (Kal Reegar). I'll be back online around 9pm for some racing!

There's more, but apparently you can only save up to 30 seconds max per video, and we had some big gaps between really entertaining moments.

I was in one of those buses. I'VE BEEN DRINKING ON THE JOB AGAIN! Also, ~20mph in goonbus swarm is good times.
