Cross-posting from the GTCC thread. The tune is for the 2011 HSV

quote:

Just realized the HSV may have been a bit out of touch with the spec:

quote:

Must have or swap to a V8
Must have or swap to a turbo/twin turbo setup

You could either switch to the V8 or select the twin turbo setup with the stock engine. Couldn't have both and if you could, well, there's your red rocket. I went with the turbo completely forgetting the V8 part. Bernese Alps exposed some work that needs to be done to help with the sweepers - I tuned this mostly on the Ring and Spa. If anyone wants to give this a try and improve on it, please do. You probably wouldn't lose much grip with Street Tires so you could add a bit more power.

Stock Engine
Twin Turbo

Race: Camshaft, Brakes, Suspension, ARB, Cage, Weight Reduction, Driveline, Differential

Sport Tires, 275w Front, 315w Rear
Rims RGII Aadvan (1st group, 4th option - 6-spoked) or similar weight reduction
21” Rims

Front and Rear Aero

PSI: 28.0

Camber: -1.4 / -0.9
Toe: 0.1 / -0.1
Caster 5.0

ARB: 20.22 / 23.31

Springs: 761.4 / 606.4
Ride Height: 3.9 / 3.9

Rebound: 7.3 / 7.0
Bump: 5.3 / 5.1

Aero: 90 / 180 (note: as I said in my previous post 45 / 100 did not give any more top end speed, I didn’t try min aero)

Balance: 50% (I normally set to 45%)
Pressure: 100% (I normally set to 110%)

Diff: 65 / 25

I was gonna say the Porsche expansion comes out in a few weeks, but all of those cars should be free because they are DLC. It's so much easier to afford cars in Forza 6 compared to FM4, where I was always hurting for money after level 150.

It's much easier in F6 compared to FH2 as well. F6's car prices are also less expensive in comparison.

Vouched. I never made it that far, but he took at least one car I was unable to get anywhere with and made it an absolute joy to scream around in. I wish I could just send you a check and keep you on retainer, but I'm trying to learn, too.

The best post you might have ever made (which I have lost) is the one about differentials and how to use tire heating to dial it in. That was you, wasn't it? In my mind I kinda lump some really fast drivers who talk tuning into a group together, e.g. Endbuster/Whatcubed/DaShoe. If it was, I hope you'll find/link is so I can save it and practice. That was some pro-tuning advice.

The car was this Torana, which I had decided was untamable:


P.S. I hate the tune-searching system because it stops displaying any information after the first 20 tunes or so then everything is blank.

Nah, I use the tire heating for camber and stuff. For the diff my go to on high power cars was finding the traction breaking point and just feeling it out on preference. I shoot for slippery but controllable with no extended peg legging burnouts on corner exit. Some people like their poo poo locked in, some don't.

In order for a franchise to be able to move from Xbox 360 to Xbox One is to show Microsoft that the company has successfully removed key features from their games, like storefronts, working voice chat, and working clans.

I never had any money problems in Forza 4. In fact I gave a friend 20 million in startup funds when he got the game by buying a car off him in the auction house, and still had some 30 million or so left over. 6 does give away more money, however.

Forza 3, now that was a game where funds were tough to come by.

Anybody ever play the first one for the OG? That game was a motherfucker about money. I remember I 100% cleared every single event with a first place finish and still didn't have the cash to purchase the Risi Ferrari. God I miss the poo poo out of Alpine Ring, Tokyo Circuit, and Fujimi. I know a lot of people really loved Maple, but Tokyo was my jam. Death at every apex!

I own the original but never played it too much because I also had GT4 and that was just a better game overall. Alpine Ring was pretty cool though, and Pacific Dockyards was like the chicaned version of New York from 3 in that it was so bad it wrapped around to being good again.

You had to race on the Snake Tracks for like the first 45 minutes of the game and then never saw them again though. It was still 45 minutes too much because those tracks were almost as terrible as Indy infield is.

IIRC the snake tracks were as bad as they were because Turn 10 outsourced them to some other dev, which is also why they don't have the same kind of feel to them as your typical T10 track.

Exactly right, they were done by a studio in India that was completely divorced from all other aspects of the development, which is why they felt so out of place.

I turned it off pretty quick, because the Xbox and Xbox 360 had this amazing feature that Microsoft decided wasn't important for Xbox One. I am talking about the feature that allows a gamer to stream music from their PC while playing video games. I spent many hours playing Forza 2 and Forza 4 (skipped 3 due to life) just jamming music while racing. Now with Xbox One the only way to do it is to have half your screen taken up by a "snap" app that's loving worthless.

I'm still unreasonably annoyed by the fact the US versions of the Gran Turismo games had better soundtracks than what we got in Europe. :reject: We just got a bunch of generic bullshit when you had the likes of Stone Temple Pilots, Judas Priest, The Cult and Snoop fuckin' Dogg. It ain't fair, I tell you. At least they stopped that kind of thing with GT4, which had the same soundtrack between the western releases. By that point I had moved on to Forza though, so it didn't really matter.

I played the poo poo out of Forza 1. Loved Alpine Ring, Tokyo and the Rio track (which was very different to the one we have in Forza 6 now), hated Blue Mountain because I wasn't any good on that track (Viper vs. Corvette event :argh:). The Junkie XL instrumentals of classic rock songs like Iron Man and Frankenstein are still burned into my brain, even though I mainly used my custom soundtracks while playing. Forza 2 was such a massive disappointment, as the graphics and gameplay weren't really any better and they replaced all the cool tracks with the snake ones. :geno:
