The BMW looks pretty cool, but the golf is hilariously over the top. Hopefully some future Forza game lets use pre-bend body panels so we can make truly authentic piles of poo poo.

Hahaha holy poo poo. So I went for a spin the the SAEG goon bus and had been using cockpit view, decided to switch to chase cam to see how funny it looked and good christ. You can't see ANYTHING. The screen is literally mostly Hummer. Also, someone brought it up before but the Nurburgring Radical rivals challenge is absolutely mental. The sense of speed is just...

I have a really tough time driving S or faster cars on the ring.. I get so paranoid about dirtying my lap, by the time I hit Adenauer Forst I'm braking early and taking corners slower than I could be. On the other hand, if make an early mistake (such as using too much curb in the Hatzenbach area), I can drive with no fear and easily cut 20-30 seconds off the lap time.

Funny enough, I just picked up the latest Top Gear magazine (thank you Barnes & Noble for not just having trashy American car mags), and in Clarkson's editorial he mentions the V8 Atom as having really nasty understeer at speed.

When you clutch, does it act like a real clutch in the way that you don't want to release until after the gear change? I've noticed that I can just twitch both buttons at the same time and get a perfect shift, yet later in a race, I do the same and it grinds, damaging the gearbox. Then when I try to hold the clutch down and shift like you would normally do in a manual car, I either over rev and damage the engine, or it works perfectly. I guess I just don't know what I'm doing wrong/right in this case. I can't figure it out because its not a consistent thing that happens.

The game isn't set up to handle suspension animation, the tires in the game now are just floating circles that articulate on an invisible joint.

I think he's talking about the car groups you can create for your car listing in grid view. And to answer the question: The only method to completely unassign a car is to delete the group. Move the car to a temp group first, then delete that group. Edit: And someone sent me a Bluesmobile license plate. I appreciate the effort, but on the car in question neither front nor back allow for liveries in any of the places a license plate would be. In fact, the whole front is completely unworkable, and in the back the best one could do is to slap it on the trunk. GhostDog fucked around with this message at 16:12 on Oct 17, 2011 |

I just try to hit both buttons at the same time while letting off the gas trigger for a split second (for an upshift). Having said that, is it really necessary to let off the gas? It's hard to tell if it affects my speed, though I can certainly tell from sound. The engine never gets damaged either way so I dunno.

Using a button (that is, non analog) clutch in FM3 was a pretty common cheese tactic to get some extra speed, and it doesn't appear to have improved any in FM4. Many of the leaderboard drivers made use of it to shave time.

Based on how I drive my lovely little Mazda 3 in real life, yes it is necessary to take your foot (finger) off the gas, if only for a split second, while clutching and shifting. Don't forget to use your downshifts to assist in braking, either. Someone posted a little while ago about using brakes to brake (duh) but most of the time light braking mixed with 2-3 downshifts is enough to slow me down to corner-taking speed

One thing I miss about Gran Turismo 5 is that in the external view, the camera is welded to a point in the air relative to the car as opposed to Forza's view where you can see the car rotate around a little bit as you turn, which makes it hard to get a feel for the weight shift of the cars. Although anybody who actually cares about that sort of thing won't be using the external camera, but still. Also, being able to adjust the cockpit's camera so that the instrument cluster is closer to the camera and takes up more screen real estate would be pretty great as well. Currently the gauges look like they're more for show than utility because they're so small on the screen. edit: wow, thanks BlazeKinzer and real_scud for the responses!

The bigger issue with the instrument clusters is none of them are lit, and are perpetually in shadow.. which means I still have to keep the HUD speedo turned on.

Currently the gauges look like they're more for show than utility because they're so small on the screen. The multiscreen workaround might help. If you enable Multiscreen in the options and reduce the FOV it should move the camera closer to the steering wheel. People would actually use this to move the camera back in F3 because the default view was way too close and made some cars really hard to see out of in cockpit view.

GT5 is the only game I know with a chase cam like that. Including many sims.

So I unlocked the "phrase" Mr. Apex for my Forza Badge Thingy, and now it reads: aphex Mr. Apex with the Aussie flag, because they don't have an Argentine flag what the crap? Does Juan Manuel Fangio mean nothing to you people? Also: most cars don't have paintable headlights, right?

Well, lljk filled up again, so if someone who has the ability to approve requests could accept me in GISH I would greatly appreciate it. I have to say I'm starting to get a little disappointed in Season Play. Apparently there are five more levels to go, and they get progressively longer, and the game is already locking me into A class and above. What is this poo poo? I thought Turn 10 said that the game would let you race events based on cars you had selected in season play so that you could spend more time racing the cars you liked. Am I wrong?

I'm at Expert or Pro level (can't exactly remember) but I'm still able to compete in E or F-class races along with the A-R3 ones that pop up.

I just randomly switch around which car I'm in and it varies up the race offerings enough that I can get 'something' i'm in the mood for. Sorry for ignoring so many invites btw - I'm on a borrowed really lovely internet right now and it's just isn't as fun. Hopefully I will have new internets by the end of the week.

I switch cars to E or F and all it ever gives me are A class and above. It's starting to get pretty annoying. The last time I got to race something of a lower PI it was D class in a multi-class event.

Maybe you're just having bad luck with some sort of random number generator? I don't think they limit participation to A-class or above if that's what you think is happening.

Hey guys, just got back from a terribly timed vacation, and I'm ready to dive in to Forza 4. Could I get an invite to GISH? It'd be awesome to have some rival times to run against as well as people to race online. Edit: Gamertag is "Eperitus" I won't be online tonight, but I'll throw a request at the club when I get a chance. MalleusDei fucked around with this message at 22:53 on Oct 17, 2011 |

I just selected my D class MR2 and the lowest it would give me was a B class race. Oh yeah, for the GISH invite my GT is Doctor Nutt and I'm on the spreadsheet.

Try selecting classes other than what you want to drive too. Along with various styles of cars. It's kind of a pain in the rear end. I wish there was a way to 'continue this series' or 'stay in this class' option for a few rounds. I like to start with a car and then tune it as I progress through a series. Last night I got stuck with only choosing from R3 Super Speedway Races on some lovely loving oval. I was livid. I loving hate the Super Speedway Races. Once I finished that the options opened up a lot more though and I was able to have fun races again.

I mean, it's not that I don't like racing a variety of cars. It's just that I spend so much time on a car upgrading, tuning, and painting it, and then in career mode I get to use it for all of three races before the game decides I'm done racing it. Umm, thanks? Honestly this is pretty much my only gripe so far, so overall the game is still amazing. e: And gripes aside, taking my F50 out for the S Class Track Day event was pretty drat fun. I am in love with the Bernese Alps tracks. Professor Beetus fucked around with this message at 18:27 on Oct 17, 2011 |

Career is pretty much just an afterthought anyways.. it exists only to build up your garage and credit stash, preparing you for the real game, which is multiplayer. Be nice if they put in a real single player story someday, but I can see why they don't bother.

Oh, I know what you mean. While I appreciate that Turn10 is trying to breakup the monotony the option to at least choose to stay in my class/car would be nice instead of forcing me into building another car for some race I'm going to race once then repeat the cycle. I don't want retune/rebuild my car every race, I want to get it solid in the class then move on. Once I'm done with the 10 seasons I'm going to work on the Event List from then on out, just like I did in FM3. I still like World Tour, but just a tad bit more flexibility would have been nice.

Finally got Forza to upload my replay properly so without further ado we can finally see who was at fault in a crash between AdamH1mself and myself on the Indy speedway: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KtoJFB9wD08 I maintain that neither of was at fault, he moved into my blind spot and I was trying to get back on the line and when put each other into the wall.

He (the Ford, right?) put himself into the wall trying to go outside and he hit you. it's the job of the person overtaking to do it properly. he failed his line and over taking and it took you (the bimmer) out. Plus he didn't have full control of the car.
