Problem! I can't start the game. It's on the desktop, fully downloaded, but I click the butan, the splash screen comes up, then it drops back to the desktop with no explanation.

Also, hello old frens.

edit: ok got something figured out. The game didn't 100% load cause my ISP hosed up sometime during the day. It looked 100% and ready to go, but I checked it in the management screen and it was "100%" at 165mb.

From there you will be able to find out what tweeks each of your cars needs. If you know your car is doing something (understeering, oversteering, swapping ends under braking, etc) but don't know how to fix it, post a question here and someone will help you. For the brakes, I'd say leave them at default or whatever you normally set them to. If you're used to default (50/100) and you set them to 40/110 it will gently caress you up, and won't make you faster even if you do figure out. Some people set their brake pressure high, some set it low. This setting is really just up to personal preference. Brake bias can help prevent a car's rear end hanging out from braking, or help turn in, but if you don't know how to set it, leaving it at 50 isn't the worst idea.

You don't even have to use the mod cards if you don't want to. I used them during the tutorial, and havent touched them since. I'll probably use the ones that gain extra experience and credits when I do some of the endurance races though.

Thanks. I'll give it a shot.

This but unironically. If you keep 2 tires inside the white line, you're in the clear. The problem is in video games there is no organizer to complain to if someone cheats, so people dont bother to follow the white lines.

Bottoming out on a rumble strip will break the poo poo out of your car in real life, too. Nothing makes you less popular than busting an oil pan and dragging oil on track for 100 feet before you notice you dont have oil pressure anymore.

it's even worse, because now that there is only those specific tracks, when those tracks come up in the career they're almost always night or wet.

A couple days ago in a lobby full of goons, I mentioned I was excited about the new Alfa Romeo Giulia. I was greeted with a bored and disinterested, "Why?"

That hasn't sat right with me these past few days, so here are a couple reasons.

THE SOUND!!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ttktBQHOndg (you can skip to 34 seconds)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rVLYEArftes

And it turns out it's gonna be REAL FAST

It looks like this:


And it's an Alfa Romeo! An unreliable Italian super-sedan! When the first ones start coming off lease, I'll be prepared to sell whatever collection of cars I own at the time and buy one, and also a $2k civic or something for reliable transportation.

I can't remember who said that, but the only other thing I can remember in the same ballpark was when another goon asked, in FM4 about the e30 M3, why we were all in love with a boring, 90's boxy economy car. He didn't know what an M3 was. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if you ended up being this same person. The Giulia is EXACTLY the kind of car people in this thread are supposed to love!

edit: as it turns out it is offered with a manual, but i dont expect many will opt for it. Kudos to them, but the 4C is the alfa i lust after. No power steering :fap:

You also suggested I buy $1200 worth of Fanatec racing wheel paraphernalia. At this rate I'm going to have to break down and go back to work.

I've just gotten to the point in the career where whichever series I've picked has a max PI of 750, which is dumb because it's not at the top of a class, so the upgrades/tune for this car ends up being useless outside of these specific races.

The only part of this game that isn't awesome so far is the fact that you can't change the loving clutch button until you finish the first race. It's gorgeous.

Also, somehow I won the Veyron and 1,000,000 credits on my first and second driver level reward spins.

Not the Rio one, the first of those three "qualifying" races. The settings menu doesn't become available for some reason until after the first race.
