Race Summary

Never stop taking recap pictures man, you're great at those. Really captures the essence of the action.

And the first friend Drivatar that popped into my game was D1zzle, and he promptly slammed his Mazda RX-something into the wall at a high rate of speed while in first place (I'm not kidding, it happened like twice over the course of a few successive races.)

If it's random that it's picking Mazdas for Dizzle, that's too bad that it's not tuned to his actual preferences - but I was impressed because it really looked like his style of driving/car choices.

So we've learned that if your single player assists have Damage set to Realistic, that setting follows you to multiplayer lobbies, even if the lobby is set to Cosmetic.

Yeah, there were a lot of bugs with the private race lobby we were running earlier, drivatars missing names, settings resetting to default every time you went into the game options, etc. Luckily they have a bunch of Beta testers who paid extra so I'd be surprised if they don't get that fixed up by the real launch.

I also just shared this livery for the Merc 190 Evo with a brushed nickel roof/hood.

I'm experiencing a bug with applying a vinyl to a car. As soon as I do "save to car" it goes to the saving screen and just sits there. I let it sit for 5 minutes. And then I quit the game and tried again and got the same thing.

Tried the same vinyl (one I created in fm5 and imported) on another car and got the same thing.

This sucks nothing from all my hundreds of hours of FM4 is registering on Forza Hub.

That game is probably my most played game of all time. Forza 3 is showing up, I hardly played that at all.

And wtf is up with the hub website there are like three different places telling me to collect credits here but nothing I click on does anything.

I took the pictures, I participated in those races.

I raced as clean as I was able and I never purposefully took risky chances which could cost other participants their positions.

If anyone disagrees I will hear them out and if I made a move in bad faith I will apologize. If you raced with me long enough, you know I immediately apologized the moment I even thought I caused a problem.

My record stands, and I don't mean as fastest. I mean as sportsman-like as possible.

Say the same, "Talk poo poo, Get Hit." Dare you.

If I were you, I would not use this time to take the high road.

Seriously, did you even notice I'm the #77 Ford not involved in that collision at all?


Ether Frenzy do you remember that race differently?

Did you not go on to win that race?

Alright sorted out the handling issues I was having. Let's blame Turn 10 for crummy default settings. Especially with differentials. I tend to use 25%-30% front/back as a default. What about you dudes?

I got some to work, but the ones that don't work never work. I don't know what's wrong with it. The Renault 5 Turbo Philips rally livery is one that refuses to work, and another that refuses to work is my DRIFTY massachusetts license plate. I suppose I could easily re-make that one but I actually built all of the letters out of shapes instead of any of the built in fonts because none of the built in fonts match the actual font that license plates use, so it was somewhat time consuming.

I'm hoping for the bug to be cleared up.

Edit:
http://forums.forzamotorsport.net/turn10_postst40846_Issue-with-importing-fm5-designs.aspx

It's a known issue. Any vinyl group or design that contains a decal with a lower case letter "a" using one of the fonts from FM5 can't be saved to a car and causes the endless save issue.

They seem to be working on it.

I spent all my money last night on cars buying every car I find interesting in alphabetical order. 7 and a half million got me up to Mitsubishi and then I ran out of money.

I imported a bunch of vinyls (mostly logos) that weren't affected by the aforementioned bug and put them all up on the marketplace including all the GRC ones so you guys can grab those and give me some money.

So i dunno if game chat will fix itself or not. I made a post on the forums but nobody replied. I advise goons go through making sure your NAT setting is OPEN by making sure you xbox live ports are forwarded or set your xbone as default host (DMZ), and IPv6 teredo tunnelling is enabled on your routers (especially apple routers). I also updated my DNS to google since my new comcast DNS servers were dropping constantly. I'm betting that if a single person has nat or dns issues in this game, it is somehow affecting other players in the lobby

They removed the ability to see what displacement your engine has by toggling the stats on the view car screen for some reason. This is vital info when you're tuning. You can get it by looking at the engine swap upgrade to see what you currently have, just like you have to do to get tire widths. It's annoying.

Another tip, if you still use the FM4 tuning calculator you don't have access to the stats database like you did in FM4 that had things like torque, power, and redline RPM. You can get these in test drive though. Make a note of what your max power and max torque are, then go to test drive mode on le mans with no chicanes. at the beginning of the lap stay in 1st gear and drive to redline. note the speed you're traveling at redline and then go into telemetry mode. drive to that speed and look at the RPM number next to it. that's your redline RPM. Then drive up to the long straight. Don't stop, but slow down to about 30 and shift into whatever gear has a 1.000 ratio (usually 4th). Floor the accelerator and watch the HP and RPMs. When you reach your maximum HP look at the RPMs. That's your max power RPM. Slow down to 30 and do it again to get the max torque RPM.

With the 73 BMW Turbo, if your revs drop real fast when you let go of the throttle, do not downshift, as it jumps 2000 RPM when you put your foot back down. Just a tip :)
