son of a bitch. this post just made me buy the game. I was convinced i was going to pass for a while, so now i've got to sit here while it's downloading with hands full of controllers pumping up my car count in the horizon games. it would only be 3 buttons on each if "B" let you leave the "exit autoshow" screen in horizon 2, so now the left hand is " B wait Y A A" while the right is "R1 R1 mash A down A" repeated. Forza 5 i gave up on early, so probably only have like 50 cars there. no chance for the 5 mil on that one

Yeah, i remember in forza 5 it was all 3 lap races and a bajillion loading screens between races, it was painful to make a little bit of progress. expecially in the beginning without VIP, the races paid like 2500 credits and gently caress all XP.

Can you use Mods for the endurance races? Because you could easily make a shitload more money by using money boosts (or XP with XP boost mods).

Powershift posted:son of a bitch. this post just made me buy the game. Good luck with the car buying. I had over 300 in my Forza 4 garage, but only got credit for having 100ish. Forza 6 will check your reward status the first time you start it and the reward servers only update once per day, so anything you're buying today won't count unless you wait until sometime tomorrow to launch F6. You can check all of your cars owned stats on the FM rewards website by going into Friends Compare and clicking through the menus there. And someone asked on the last page about the File icon on the leaderboards. If that icon is a full circle you can download the tune they used to set that lap.

I had over 300 in my Forza 4 garage, but only got credit for having 100ish. a lot of people who had 300 cars for ages didn't get credit for them. i'm assuming turn 10 will make it right at some point. I did only get 5.3 million, even though i've had 300 cars in my forza 3 and 4 garages for years. If it doesn't show up in a day or so(it won't) i'll file a support ticket. it was only 45 minutes to pump up both horizon and horizon 2 to 300 cars, so if i don't get it no big loss, but i'll try my damnedest to. I hate how the first hour of forza games seem to assume you've never played another racing game in your life. edit: a lot of folks also didn't get the ford GT for finishing the demo. luckily i did get that.

The economy in the game seems a lot more fair. Even without VIP, you can win a race, and buy a car, or buy 3 upgrades for your car.

Just playing career mode for a few days and now the showcase endurance events, I have bought 3 cars needed for career and my garage already has about 20 others from the level spins. I'm sitting on ~8million and now can look for interesting cars to mod and paint and for free getting the F1 Lotus, Ferrari 250gt, etc. I think Turn 10 learned a bit from FH2 and brought some bits over from that game. And of course there are people on the Forza forums complaining about the spins and getting free credits or cars (you don't have to take the spin!). Some people are the worst. And because I'm a masochist, I just did the Atlanta 100. That's 3 endurance races in one day. L_Harrison posted:I think I found a new car for Goon racing: Whoa whoa whoa.

I absolutely love the amount of free cars for spins. I've already won about 3 mil credits and some sweet cars that I actually like. You actually land on jackpot a fait amount. It helps since so many cars are over a mil in the store. Seemed like i never got any real good jackpots in fh2. Waiting for the day I win the 250 tr.

2:01.014 on Bernese Alps full. A Class -- race brakes, max weight reduction, anti roll bars, race springs, race diff, and stock tires. I did turn in a dirty 2:00.444 a few laps after the record time. I am so close to breaking sub-2 min.

Also part of why COTA feels like Hockenheim is because they took Hock's only remaining interesting turn complex and threw it in COTA because modern track designers have absolutely no imagination.

Catlunya is OK I guess but I don't particularly love it or anything, Nurb GP is fine, but other than that I just wholesale dislike modern track design. The worst without question is Twin Ring Motegi and I am ever grateful that we have purged that shithole from Forza.

I didn't see unbeatables again after I got past Adenauer Forest on lap one....

It stopped working for me around the start/finish line on lap 3 I think on the Nurdburg 125, but then it started working again, however it no longer "rewinds" it just goes to loading screen and comes back with you a little farther back. Also, I didn't turn on realistic tire and fuel for the race yet the AI still pits as if it's on...

GentlemanofLeisure posted:Try upgrading your tire compound one notch. Decrease your weight reduction to make space for the PI necessary. If youve still got a few points to make up, I'd upgrade exhaust or valves, and if you need 1 point do Driveline. Avoiding tire upgrade. Gonna give it another go with some tuning options. There's definitely time to lose on the first corner after the tunnel.

The rewind buffer (same buffer used for replays) is only 30 minutes. It's been the same in all the old ones too, rewind stops animating after 30 mins and it won't operate at all if ai is in the pits.

Comrade Flynn posted:Err, can you only use the rewind a certain number of times in a race? Halfway through an enduro and it stopped working. It's really broken. As the race goes on, it gets worse. 1) At first it's normal. 2) Then it doesn't "rewind" it just screen blanks and puts you back at a point. Then one of two (or both) things happen 3) You've rewinded and you're at a different camera view / angle 4) You've rewinded nearly 3/4s of a lap (this happened to be at Road Atlanta 100) Or 5) Rewind is not available at some points but returns if you make another error. 6) Rewind puts your literally 1 second before your error.
