drgitlin posted:I actually think the force feedback on the TX is stronger than the Fanatec (with both set to 100%). But the rim on the TX is too narrow. However, with the auto clutch, and Fanatec pedals (courtesy of the basherboards CPX) it's a pretty great combo. And much less frustrating than troubleshooting the Fanatec CSW. But if you have the cash for the whole Fanatec set up, it is totes amaze, as the kids say. I've got Old Man's Wrist Syndrome so I actually found the TX to be a little too aggressive in the FFB at 100%, and tweaking the settings onboard the wheel remains a mystery to me so I didn't tinker with it a lot. It's definitely a beast but maybe not quite as communicative in the curb/grass feel surface differences as the Fanatec. Still a great product aside from the tiny rim. I had no trouble at all setting up the CSW. I can check which firmware I have but it's from about 3 weeks ago. As for the procedure with the Xbone, (based on what I did with the previous Fanatecs on the 360) I turn the wheel on, then the console, launch the game, then if I need to turn on a controller for headset use, I just use the wheel stick/buttons to go into the 'wheel/controller' settings on the options page, and then back out without doing anything, and that returns shift control to the wheel's shifters.

Clubsport pedals really are the hugest upgrade of any of these parts from what you're currently using.

Looks like there's a 1-2 month long wait for the Basherboard CPX. I went ahead and reserved one, but have to wait for that to ship before grabbing the pedals.

GentlemanofLeisure posted:I've done the first 3 volumes in single player, and have only raced on Le Mans Bugatti ONCE! I'm baffled as to why that stupid track even keeps showing up in Forza, since it's neither fun nor interesting to drive with any class of car. Even the newer tracks that get a lot of grief for being really derivative (Bahrain) have at least some sections that are fun to drive, and pretty much every other track/layout the game works well with at least one type of car, but Bugatti just manages to be a different kind of awkwardly annoying for different cars.

Just how lovely is the Bugatti Circuit? Well, when Papyrus was making Grand Prix Legends back in 1998, they obviously wanted to make an authentic simulation of the 1967 F1 season, which would have meant having the French GP at Bugatti. Papyrus went "gently caress that poo poo" and included Rouen-Les-Essarts (the venue for the 1968 race and an infinitely better track) instead because they knew no one would enjoy driving the Bugatti Circuit.

It's pretty drat good. That said -- I've never messed with tuning in any these games (I upgrade my car, but don't know enough about tuning to dive in to it.) Are there any general absolute beginner tips for beginners? Are there some settings that are a safe assumption to be an improvement over the stock tune for most cars?

Asnorban posted:It's pretty drat good. Put on race brakes, springs, front anti-roll bars, rear anti-roll bars, and differential. These are all of the tunable parts. If you have room to raise the PI more without going into the next class change the tire compound until you are close to your PI target, then add any upgrades you want until you're to your target. The priority of upgrades should be the remaining platform and handling upgrades (chassis stiffness and weight reduction) if you have enough PI to spare. Then tire width. Only go for engine parts if you have lots of PI to spare after the handling upgrades. Note, messing with camshafts and cylinders will change your redline which means you'll need to upgrade your transmission and tune the gearing which is more in depth than I can get in this post. Then use an iPhone or android app called forzatune. The app will ask how much the car weighs, what percentage of weight is at the front of the car, which wheels drive the car (front, rear, or all), and how wide the tires are. After you enter this data in it will tell you what you should set all the tunable parts to. Norns posted:Totally optional, but I've been using it for the exp and money boosts. Exactly what I've been doing. I haven't been using mods that provide extra grip because I don't want to get used to having it. The3 worst thing would be if I only know how to drive with the grip mods, then I race with goons online and I'm all over the place because I don't know how to drive with the standard grip. Basically the same thing as if you play horizon 2 all the time and get back into the FM series. GutBomb fucked around with this message at 15:53 on Sep 15, 2015 |

I've barely scratched the surface but I have to say FM6 is amazing. I expect it will only get better. For example, I thought I would despise racing in the wet. Quite to the contrary, I have discovered it is gorgeous and amazing. I find myself looking forward to it! Now, I wonder if I will feel the same way about night racing? I know Yaz Marina corkscrew was much more compelling in the dark.   "Challenge" completed, time to tune a new car and make a new livery!

Tip: If you're waiting for the game to install, and you play it before it's ready, you'll do the same race as the demo with the Ford GT. If the game isn't finished installing after that race, and you exit the game and come back, you're stuck doing that same GT race again. So including the demo this is the third time I'm running the thing.

This has been covered and covered in the thread but the only one that gives you value for money is the Thrustmaster TX. The Fanatec is the better wheel but with pedals you're spending a $1200 on a video game controller and if you want to add a shifter it's another $200. A Thrustmaster TX is $300, if you want 3 pedals instead of two that's another $100, and if you want a stick shift instead of paddles that's another $150.

I know it's been covered I just wanted to make sure there was nothing cheaper. I didn't know about the extra pedal and the shifter. OK so time to start saving my pennies, thanks again.

Logitech does have one that comes with 3 pedals instead of 2, but doesn't come with a shifter. The wheel/pedal combo is $400 and the shifter is I think $70. It's a lot lower quality than the Thrustmaster though.

Basically the same thing as if you play horizon 2 all the time and get back into the FM series. the trick is to find mods that cancel themselves out. at level 25 affiinity, you get a mod that's +12% grip and +50% credits for that manufacturer. and there's a super rare dare mod that's -15% grip for +50% credits, so you run at -3% grip which is negligible for +100% credits. the affinity mod only works for that brand though, so if you forget and leave it on, you end up running the next race in a mercedes GT3 car with -15% grip which is not good news. If you don't want to mess with mods, check them until you get a +10% grip mechanic guy, and match that to a -10% grip dare guy, and enjoy +30% credits without ever having to look at the mod screen again.

Those are good ideas, Powershift. One of the main reasons I'm not really using mods is that I don't want to go into multiplayer and have the car feel "weird." Your idea cancels that out nicely.

Agreed! I never thought of that. I had been using the Suggested Line Off + Cockpit View Only for +20% CR, along with whatever Boost mods gave an increase in CR or XP, but now I will look for a nice purple and blue mod that cancel each other out for even more CR's.
