Sadly, half the races don't even get to turn 1 before people with fast accelerating cars decide it's a good idea to go 4 wide on the first straight away...

The best starts are on Daytona, nobody knows how to handle the cars desire to turn into the infield when you accelerate on a bank...

To be fair, they would never do a standing start at a track like Daytona anyway for that very reason. Really its kinda insane to me that Forza still does not have rolling starts at least as an option.

I am finally getting a feel for this game, and I like it. My brief foray into A class hoppers was brilliant and terrifying. I will be hopping it up this evening, Bentron will be sending out occasional invites. Join me for cocktails and pubbie madness!

Somewhat unsurprisingly, this time around it seems like low weight cars are super overpowered again ala Forza 4 - in particular the Mustang, Rx3 and Mini can easily make a good +10 seconds on lap of an average car. Figured after six games they'd have this stuff almost sorted but apparently not.

Either way, online play with pubs is terrible and you should all invite me so I can learn how to drive again.

Since it was pretty good last time we had it, how about a spec time trial challenge? If anyone can think of a particular car/track combo they'd like that'd be good, else I'll come up with something tomorrow night.

Sunday evening might be good. That way the US & Canadian folk can join us if they want some early afternoon racing.

Are any of you actually using sim steering on the gamepad? I managed it up until A class, then I would spin out if I breathed on the left stick, and I have those extenders that gives you more precise control.

I used sim steering on a controller through about 75% of my Forza 5 playthrough (and then the Thrustmaster TX finally came out)

But yeah, I guess I am a wheel user most of the time.

The voice chat bugs are getting ridiculous. What's astonishing to me is the lack of people complaining about the issue on the official forums. There are a few threads but they each only have a couple of posts and when it does get posted it gets grouped together with the robot voices issue which, while annoying, is completely avoidable and not related to the issue at hand. And I don't really blame T10 for not paying attention to people on that forum because it's mostly a cesspool. People not being able to properly articulate what the problem is, and just general 12 year old kid idiocy runs rampant over there.

These are the few threads I found about the issue and there are no official responses to any of them.

It really is amazing, it's 2015 TYOOL and voice chat in video games is seemingly more difficult than it was in 2005 on PC...

I totally forgot about racing this week and missed out on the fun, will try to make it next week! Now I got my mic working I think so I can yell at the people that the game lets me yell at.

The "blades" xbox 360 system was the best console OS of all time. Its been downhill ever since. Lightning fast, does everything flawlessly. Easy chat, easy invites, no clutter. From parties to digital downloads to DLC i cant think of a single function we have today it didnt have back then.

I really hate the xbox one dashboard. It's impossible to do anything fast. In order to get rid of robot voice, I have to exit out of the game, start it back up, go back to the dash go to friends and do all that crap. Waiting for a horribly slow menu to load every step of the way. If they can't make the menus be fast, then simplify them until it works. I don't care if it looks nice, I just want to be able to muscle memory some buttons to get to the join friends screen.

But then they can sell you a "xbox one elite plus" with more memory. "look how much faster it loads!" (Was the plan the whole time)

I dunno, but I was racing offline and they decided to reset something and it kicked me out of the loving single player race. Like what the gently caress is that poo poo.
