Well I bought an Xbox one just for this game a few weeks ago and spent today playing it off and on. I've been having a great time. Tried to play some league races but everyone else seem to think the best way to take a turn is to go full speed into it and slam into me as I'm turning. Kinda of annoying but still fun trying to claw my way up from the back of the pack after getting spun out.

Hopefully I'll have some time to get to race with goons this time as I pretty much missed out on playing with you guys in Forza 3 and 4. Gamertag is katka if anyone wants to add me and throw me an invite to random races. I'm not very good buy I probably won't wreck into you on purpose (unless I've been drinking which is likely).

Also I got the Ford GT for playing the demo but the game hasn't given me the achievement for owning it and the Ford GT spec league is saying I don't own an eligible car. Is this a bug or do I need to buy another one?

Like just about every other racing game in existence? Could go back to older style games where it's win or lose?

Could also be like real life where every driver in the league races at the next race. Even if they DNF/DNS.

Well, seems people haven't figured out how to drive straight yet in Forza 6. Here's 2 fun pics from the start line off of Bernese Alps...



I thought I was managing to squeeze through the nonsense and was going to be free and clear until the first turn... but...



Rear ended by someone and there I go up on my front bumper... At least my car was still facing in the right direction I guess...

Can't believe everyones getting these good spins, the only time i've hit the middle was finishing one of the career campaigns which was a 100k car, the rest of my spins have been those 150k mod packs :sigh:

"limit aggression" should be the default setting, with the alternative being "bumper cars"

i have limit aggression on and still occasionally get divebombed in some corners.

Be patient and have some luck. If you can get in the top 5 early, focus on getting away from the back of the field instead of racing hard for first. Last lap go for positions. Mostly is luck getting through the first turn with 24 cars.

Take the first corner as far away from the "racing line" and as far inside as possible (even if you're on the grass). If you're at the back of the pack hang back and then make your way through after the chaos has happened.

I think you had mentioned before you are going to be forcing all assists, including driving line, off, is that correct? But steering left to normal? And damage will be set to simulation, correct?

Just checking, and pointing this out, since there are surely going to be some new participants.

All assists allowed, I will be forcing the driving line off though.

Haven't been able to connect to multiplayer since getting the game yesterday afternoon. "Multiplayer is currently unavailable. Please try again later." Anyone else getting it? Or do I have to gently caress with forwarding ports and changing NAT settings to get the game to work properly.

I've had that issue since early release last week. So far the only response from T10 is "We're looking into it."

Apparently having any kind of mod equipped, even the dares, will cause your lap time to be provisional. I could be wrong on this, but after experimenting I'm pretty sure this is the case. They're useful for those credit boosts but don't forget to remove them when doing rivals events, etc.

Perhaps online might work if you get invites, instead of using matchmaking? Not sure how it works.

That's true about your laps being dirty automatically if you have any mods equipped, but doing rivals or anything online removes your mods, so you don't have to.

The AI racers are all over the loving board. I went up a tick on the difficulty cause I was winning by miles, and now I'm still almost winning by miles, but a singular car is cleaning my loving CLOCK - like winning by 10sec over me in 2nd and beating the field by 15-20sec. It's madness. I wish I had a video of the last race cause it looked mindbending.

I turned down the force feedback to 80% I don't want to break my hand and it helps my hands not cramp to quickly. Everything else for me is as-is.
