Look what you've done, Forza. You had to go and throw money at me to the point where I didn't know what to do with it and now look what happened.

e: on a related note, stage 3 weight reduction for the Hummer takes off 2k+ lbs. It's like I've removed an entire car from this behemoth.

Hey thar. I do believe that's my vinyl you purchased. Incidently, I've only sold one like literaly a minute after I posted it. Small world.

The answer is, mate, because I want to do you slowly. There has to be a bit of sport in this for all of us. In the psychological battle stakes, we are stripped down and ready to go. I want to see those ashen-faced performances; I want more of them. I want to be encouraged. I want to see you squirm.

So I was doing some research on the Charger Daytona while trying to build mine to be as close to NASCAR spec as possible, and I came across something rather interesting...

quote:

By 1968, the advantage previously enjoyed by Chrysler’s Hemi in NASCAR had been virtually eclipsed by its competitors. Ford had answered the more aerodynamic Charger 500 with its own slippery versions of the Torino and Mercury Cyclone, so Dodge pulled out all the stops and unleashed the wild, winged Daytona. With its pointed front nose and high rear wing, the Daytona put Mopar back at the front of the grid, and the Aero Wars were under way.

After almost two years of domination by just two manufacturers, NASCAR founder and President Bill France let it be known that the winged cars would be subjected to severe displacement limitations, and most car owners immediately abandoned them, with one significant holdout: a young rebel named Mario Rossi.

Well I'll be damned. :stare:

Apologies but I'm not going to be able to accept any SAEG requests until I get home at ~9pm tonight. Give Falken a shout if he's online.

If he's not about then I will sort you out as soon as I possibly can.

Is anyone else getting occasional pops and clicks in the audio during races and replays? I don't think I've seen anyone mention it.

I don't think it was happening in the demo and no other game (including Forza 3) seems to do it. It's more obvious now that I turned off the music. I'm using HDMI but with audio via optical to a Z-5500 speaker set - is it likely to be my set-up?

It's also my first time doing any sort of tuning so tell me how she rides!

Also it's hysterical that the most driven car in our garage is that R3 Ka. I gave it a spin and Jesus I think it has jelly for suspension.

After the weekend is over the club owner (shogunner?) should probably clear out whatever hasn't been driven in the last few days.

I don't think club garaged cars can be removed by anyone but the person who put them in. Otherwise I would've cleaned house a while ago.

That's actually a little strange but understandable I guess. I did everyone a favor and cleared out a couple of things I was using to test the water when the game launched.

Played two hours of this so far and goddamn it is so good. Never got into FM3 even though I bought it at launch but this is just amazing. Can't wait to get into this one properly.

GT is DeadlyImpact if you wanna have someone to look good against in rivals mode. Usually racing during GMT as well.

I'm sending messages to a couple folks asking they cut down on the sheer number of cars they've put in the garage, too. Hopefully things will thin out after a bit, because if it gets too bad we might have to resort to kicking out people who post too many lovely or redundant cars in there. And I really don't want that to happen.

E: Just to clarify, if anyone gets a message from EddieBischoffJr, that would be me. Don't worry, I'm not gonna be a jackass or anything about it.

What a weird bug that they never caught, you would assume them to have testers playing the game with 900 degree settings. Though maybe the testers just left the wheels at their default settings and never came across the issue.

I will check some rivals again tonight, but I was top in 4-5 of them wednesday night when i was done playing.
I got a lot of invites last night on my traditional Halo reach night, and I plan on playing quite a bit this weekend. I am trying to fill my garage a little before hosting some races, although I am pretty much setup for every class except A. I hate S class but will probably do some of that just for the insanity.

My F200 Ka has earned me so much money on the Starter Car Rivals event. It's a simple tune that's up for free on Storefront - just look for the one by PLOP that like 400+ people have DL'ed.

With a bit of Foresight it's not hard to grind out a bunch of Credits in rivals mode. Basically - If you have found a rivals event you KNOW you can post great times in, set your rival on the leaderboards to the slowest one that gives you the best bounty that you KNOW you can beat (10k, 50k, 100k, 150k etc). Try to win by as small a margin as possible and then rinse repeat setting rival as the next closest name on you "Nearest" Leaderboard.

It's getting a bit difficult now as I'm starting to hit a realistic plateau time-wise - but I'm getting 150k per race when it works (2 laps) and have managed to earn at least 1.5mil so far - and it's more fun than lapping drat ovals in the old game ugh.
