Finally started playing this yesterday and unlocked the club stuff today. Are there any benefits to us having all of these randos in GRRC (xp, bonuses, whatever) or are we planning on purging the non-goons at some point? Just curious since I was going to use the club roster to add/follow the new Forza goons who weren't already on my friend list, but now I need to actually put in effort to find the GTs. I made a beeline to the perk that let's you buy wheel spins. The first 10 spins I bought netted me $700k worth of credits and cars, so good call on that whoever pointed it out earlier.

BCRock posted:Are there any benefits to us having all of these randos in GRRC (xp, bonuses, whatever) or are we planning on purging the non-goons at some point? Those things aren't really related. The only benefits are a) more member XP ranks the club higher but that doesn't actually provide any tangible benefit that I know of, and b) there are that many more people to race with, and game with, and compete against; which I argue is a tangible benefit. There are possible drawbacks as well; but the goon group self-identifies as "comical mischief," so it makes sense that if it's comical in the broad sense it's fair game. I would hope that in extreme cases we'd be willing to take action if individuals were intentionally antagonistic to a degree that it becomes untenable. To that end I encourage anyone with a real issue to bring it to our attention. As for anyone who's already high on my own poo poo list, they're perfectly safe from me as long as they play nice with me in-game (this applies to FH3/GRRC.) That said, none of the above has anything to do with one's goon-ness. I have a friend who is finally (maybe?) going to play a Forza game and I want him to feel free to join GRRC and have a good time learning cars, tuning, and racing with the assistance and example of goons, even though he has never been nor will he ever be a forums member. We keep different hours due to our jobs so I can't be there as often as I'd like to show him the ropes and play co-op and other multi-player fun. There are many goons I trust who can. In closing, Australia is a land of contrasts. G'Day! *takes off serious hat* I really wish I had more time to play. I want to climb the club ladder, too! Hopefully it will be easier once I get weekends off and don't have this awful Friday night/Saturday morning turn-around to deal with. I hate it. I haven't even tried online/multi-player at all.

Has anyone else run into an issue where the brakes on a car randomly stop working? I've had several instances where pressing the left trigger results in almost zero braking (despite no brake damage, and the telemetry registering 100% brake application), regardless of the ABS setting, but it seems to go away once I swap to a different car, although I've had to install a different brake upgrade to resolve the problem on one occasion. azflyboy fucked around with this message at 05:26 on Oct 1, 2016 |

Ok I give up; can someone please explain how I'm supposed to drift through challenge zones? My drifting ability consists of taking an AWD down the highway and throwing it sideways with the e-brake, but while that can net you 40k+ points it can only do so in a straight line. great Public Enemy reference WMain00 posted:I bought a Humvee and...er...

Dr. Faustus posted:*puts on serious hat* Yeah, pretty much this. Tell all your friends to join up, and if anyone manages to actually be a big jerk, go ahead and kick them, I don't care. I don't know that there's any benefit/drawbacks to having a big roster other than not needing to friend someone to get in, so I'm not really concerned about it until there's a reason to be. That said, as soon as someone notices there IS a reason to give a poo poo, please let us know so we can take care of it.

Cojawfee posted:Turn 10 claimed they laser scanned every car or whatever but that's clearly not true as there are several cars that have totally wrong details that are from Forza 2. it's more that they said this and then removed half the cars in forza 5 with the excuse of only keeping cars that were up to the highest standards, while at the same time keeping in models that were pretty obviously flawed to people who really liked that car and had been so since forza 2. then they sold you a bunch of those removed cars. it was a move motivated entirely by greed and their 'quality' excuse was complete horse poo poo to anyone who took a cursory glance at all the flawed models they'd been using since forza 2 that were still in 5. personally i'll take more cars in exchange for a few of them having flaws. it's why i never bitched about things like the r32 and 22b in forza 3 and 4, something that other forza goons did do. if they'd just carried forward all the cars from 4 to 5, flaws and all, nobody would have cared. if they'd only dropped models that were hosed up so that they could re-do them, nobody would have cared. instead they tried pulling this smoke-and-mirrors poo poo to justify re-selling you old content.

After playing a dumb amount of the earlier Forza games, i finally got an Xbone cause they had em marked down to $230, with Forza 6 and Horizon 3 included. I think I actually liked Horizon 1 the most of the 360 games, and i gotta say FH3 is super good. Its a little slow to get started, but once you get to level 15ish, you reach that Horizon 1 level of 'too much cool stuff to do' syndrome. That is my review. hope u liked it.

Just gotta love them taillights and the only other view I get from it is in 3rd person or the side doors.

My drifting ability consists of taking an AWD down the highway and throwing it sideways with the e-brake, but while that can net you 40k+ points it can only do so in a straight line. General Probe posted:Don't use an AWD car? It's there a reason you aren't using a RWD car? Yeah AWD cars aren't the easiest to drift with because when you floor it the car will naturally straighten itself out more often than not. This makes extended drifts harder than simple short bursts of powersliding. RWD is preferred for drifting. They naturally spin out more easily when you push them too hard. The trick is to find that line where you start going sideways and from there you actually use the gas pedal to steer more so than the wheel if your entry is good. More gas = more turn unless your entry isn't aggressive enough. The perfect place to be is at the right speed/angle that allows you to just hammer down and purely accelerate through whatever curve you're in. Ease back when it starts to spin out beyond the point of control. If it starts to understeer then you need to work on your approach. There are many ways to initiate a drift and they tend to determine how/what you're supposed to do when sliding. It's something you just have to practice a lot to figure out and get a feel for. edit: as you figure things out, try to take little mental notes - it'll help a lot. After a while you'll build up a sort of playbook of how to handle each situation. There will generally be traffic driving through your competitive drift zones. In some of them you need to learn to adapt to this mid-drift in order to get 3 stars. One amazing thing about this game is the instant rewind ability. Whenever something goes wrong, USE it to approach the same situation with a different technique until you find something that works. Eventually you won't need it anymore and will probably be ready for tandem drift fun

To help with the drifting thing/chime in, 85% accel 75% decel on the diff, stiffen the suspension and everything else up keeping roughly the same ratio as stock, give yourself some front camber (-2.5 - 3 or around there). Also switch to manual + clutch, (left bumper) as not only will you get more money from races, but it allows you to clutch kick the back end free, basically revving high then dropping the clutch to let the sudden accel break the rear tires free, using the clutch can also help when trying to transition from a left hand turn to a right hand turn. Car wise use whatever front engine rwd car you want, oh and upgrade the tire compound last, if you find yourself sliding out/not having enough speed upgrade the compound, too high and you'll just grip every time you try to transition directions, too little and it'll be like spinning the rears on ice. I have a Subaru brat that's fun as hell to slide around. EDIT: Don't buy tunes, drift cars are ridiculously easy to tune but fall way more into the personal preference area over grip tunes and stuff.

I don't trust a random cartoon videogame player to tune any presets to my liking. The best thing to do is learn to drift the car stock if it is RWD. From there you can tune it yourself in ways that are actually significant to your personal style. Keket posted:Bring it, bitch.
