Heres a link with all the cars and pictures of them: Click

And a list for people who want it at a glance:

2015 #19 Porsche Team 919 Hybrid
1960 718 RS 60
1957 356A Speedster
1998 #26 Porsche AG 911 GT1 98
2004 911 GT3
1987 #17 Racing Porsche AG 962c
1955 550A Spyder
2011 #45 Flying Lizard 911 GT3 RSR
2008 #7 Penske Racing RS Spyder Evo
1989 944 Turbo
1982 911 Turbo 3.3
1970 914/6
2012 Cayenne Turbo
2014 918 Spyder
2015 Macan Turbo
1987 959
2014 911 Turbo S
2015 Cayman GTS
2012 911 GT2 RS
2003 Carrera GT
2012 911 GT3 RS 4.0 (997)

I guess they went with 21 cars so they could market it as "Over 20 cars!" REALLY bummed they skipped the 993 GT2 that was in FM4, that car was badass. Also no 917 but really wasn't expecting to see that. Would have been cool though. Overall I think it's a farily decent mix of cars.

http://forums.forzamotorsport.net/turn10_postst58956_Tomorrow-s--3-1-16--Content-Update.aspx

quote:

Tomorrow's update will unfortunately introduce an issue with the 2015 Ford #02 Chip Ganassi Racing Riley Mk XXVI Daytona Prototype, a DLC car from February's Alpinestars Car Pack. With this issue, players who use this car running the Level 3 weight reduction upgrade/tune will experience a game-crashing bug and be forced to wait for the next content update before playing again.

We want to let players know about this ahead of time so they can avoid this situation; for that reason we are recommending that FM6 players avoid using the 2015 Ford #02 Chip Ganassi Racing Riley Mk XXVI Daytona Prototype until we can address this issue in a subsequent content update. It's ok to keep the car in your FM6 garage, just avoid driving it until the next CU. The team is busy working on this subsequent content update now and I hope to have more details on when we will be able to launch that CU in the very near future.

They will fix it... by silently removing the car from the game and hoping nobody notices. And if someone does notice they will just ignore/delete the thread.

Dude?
1. There's a gamebreaking bug in an as of yesterday unreleased game update.
2. Said update did not have an official public announcement of a release date
3. gently caress it. Release it anyway.

What would have been the harm in fixing the bug before a release of an update that didn't have to be released on a specific day? March 1 was just from a leak that wasn't supposed to get out, and was never announced as an official launch date outside of that accidental leak.

A game that won't even start for two weeks if certain conditions are met seems much worse to me than delaying the update a few days to fix the bug.

Edit: Did they ever fix the bug where that one engine swap makes your car never run out of fuel?

Edit 2: Did they ever fix the bug where you couldn't import a vinyl from FM5 if it contained a lower case "a" shape in it?

Happens all the time with software. Profits > Function. It was probably something found in the last few days during some full regression tests and was deemed an acceptable risk instead of delaying. Turn10 most likely wants the money on the books for this quarter.

No, you can use Porsche in multiplayer. I think what Coja meant was that it doesn't seem many goons are ever online playing forza. I never see anyone on forza, even during the weekends.

What's unknown is if/how VIR will work in private lobbies.


Here are the new achievements

So far, mostly good. VIR is fun as hell (just like in iRacing). A bunch of new race events and showcase events, including a VIR short endurance race.

One bug I noticed was that if you select the Forzavista narrator, and then back out, he'll keep talking over the menus and such :v:.

Yeah, GB, they did address that one. I've re-imported some vinyls since then and they're fine. No game-crashing issues with using them or anything like that, either.

Also, I am absolutely thrilled to be downloading a Porsche FM expansion right now. Is it perfect? Apparently not. Still really happy about it. I had forgotten there was a track included.

Wow, interested in Porsche or not, this is a pretty cool DLC.

I see that Virginia International Raceway has Day, Night, and Wet versions of each variant: Full, North, South, Patriot, Patriot Alt, Grand West, and Grand East.

Anthology mode looks very interesting (to me) and the Porsche pack has its own Showcases, Multiplayer, Leagues, and Rivals. Not bad for $20, and I get my beloved '82 911 Turbo 3.3, which was the first Porsche I was aware of (and fell in love with) as a kid. Not sure where I saw it first when I was 11 (some car magazine or poster I think) but I still feel warm fuzzies looking at it.

...and this time when you buy the DLC the cars are all just added to your garage so you don't have to go through the process of adding each one manually.

Time to start learning VIR.

I'm not a Porsche fan, but I'm kinda siked for this pack. I'm at a loss for the lack of a 930 though. Wasn't it one of the first true KILLCAR Porsches?

The '55 550 is pretty great. Took it up to A class with a bit of power and worked on some grip. It's pretty good all around. Ran 2:00.9 on VIR Full, 2:50-2:52 at Grand East and West and 48 something on the short version which is bound to be a clusterfuck. Worse than Rio Mountain.

The tune is shared if anyone wants to give it a try.

Edit: VIR is a great loving track.

Although I am sure I had absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with it, I am quite pleased that the two tracks I suggested Dan and Turn 10 add to the game (Spa and then VIR) were two tracks that Turn 10 added (I told them they should add VIR when I was there last year).

The Porsche pack is pretty great - you can still make a 930 look like a 964 with the bodywork mods, although the lack of a 993 GT2 makes me a bit sad. The 718 is a great little car.
