I made a 4 lapper goliath where the sun comes up just as you hit the last 2/3rds of the last lap, so it's like LeMans. Sheer accident. Retro Saloons.

Atmus, the gearing you gave me for the Jaguar is pretty darn good. Hi EF. The main benefits to my Goliath race is you can take the skills GT-R HE or the XP boost Jag HE. It's a little hairy but the weather is good and you don't need an hour to do it.

Dr. Faustus posted:Yeah, I nailed it on the 2nd try with the S1900 Caterham. I just hadn't joined the race properly last time. I left so as not to hinder anyone else's chance to win. Off to do the 50 near misses thing, then bed. Shorten the final drive up a little, it redlines in certain spots and that's suboptimal for Goliath.

I just did the Cult Classics championship, and the Manx is easily the best car stock for that. I would def. put a transmission in it and that's really it. Fun car stock on short tracks.

This picture was taken about 30 seconds away from where I work, they had a bunch of the artcars in and it was cool as h*ck. On forza, I still haven't bought FH3 because I somehow managed to remove the windows store from my pc and my xbox one is so slow and poo poo I haven't turned it on for months. I should probably get this game at some point because it seems rad as h*ck.

Dr. Faustus posted:I think I may have upgraded to Street Tires on one car. In terms of trying to add a little grip, I have widened them instead. Pretty much every car I've tuned is still on "stock rubber." Unless you are going up like 3+ classes from stock (like 400-700) tires just add too much PI for the gain. And there is not really a way to customize a car "per track" like there is in Forza. Almost every race has long straights where those tires are completely useless and you just get blown out by higher power. My dislike rant: I wish there was more rewards for "good driving" as opposed to everything rewarding drifting. You gain 10x more levels and skill points by constantly hitting your e-brake than you do taking a corner and hitting a perfect apex, and that makes me a bit sad. Why didn't they put in some decent skill chain boosts for the "perfect corner" stuff from Forza?

Songbearer, allow me to transport you back to FM4 and introduce you to DeathGibs' SUPERCHARGED DEATH. Once we had a tight battle on Catalunya a long time ago and he's been one of my favorite bad dudes ever since (miss you, bad dude). I found pics:   Just a little love tap:  Rivals racing really is addictive because once you hit your wall on a circuit, there's more to do! It's maddening and my heart can barely take it these days. When I play FH3, though, I'm currently looking for street races to do. I'm saving the exhibition/championship stuff for later. Also, SW Battlefront came out with a Death Star DLC and it's too alluring (even though I am absolutely terrible at it.) Hurry up, weekend, I have gaming to do!

Dr. Faustus posted:I'll be very interested in your conclusions, Atmus. I got it to where it can turn a corner at over 50mph now, and flying into those houses at the end of the beach section of Goliath isn't as big of a problem. I cut down on the braking understeer a bunch without having to sacrifice braking distance too. Still fooling with the suspension to make it less nauseating during the rough sections though. Tuning being rewarding rather than just a necessary slog is pretty nice.

Anyone got a Track Toy car / config that I can use to complete this Forzathon challenge? I keep getting killed by a couple C-class Mercury who finish in 22 seconds. Also is there some way to do a drag race without having to wait like 5 minutes for the popup to invite you to do one?

Pretty much any of the caterham tunes should do it for you. I got it with an S1 tune last night. And no, you have to wait for the showdown race to cycle around.

Rewind on Goliath gets pretty lovely on laps 12-14. So much so that it will take you back 2/3 of a lap. It stops functioning entirely after 15. Also, Pro driveatars stop being Pro pretty quick. Atmus fucked around with this message at 23:34 on Oct 22, 2016 |

How is the game even keeping 2/3rd of a lap in RAM? I guess it needs to for the replay. And I wouldn't mind the Pro drivatars loving off as after five laps in S2 cars they were consistently on my rear end or able to do perfect slingshot passes that would make Mario Kart blush. I tested ramming one at 300kph and should have sent it into Tasmania but it hardly moved off the drive line.

I'm betting it doesn't, and it just saves random recovery points. It trying to keep the replay alive is probably why rewind goes to poo poo. 2nding the Enemy cars are on rails thing. They are USUALLY polite enough to not Gutbomb you, but it's frustrating not being able to get revenge on them. I imagine it's way harder to make good AI for Horizon than it is for Motorsport though, so I'm not too mad about it. Also some dude tried to join my career while I was doing this race. Sorry man, I wasn't snubbing you, I just don't want to chance the game loving things up when I'm this far into it. Even if it let you possess one of the other drivers, you would be at least 4 laps behind anyway.

The ai seems to be tied to your inputs as well which is loving frustrating. Like in free roam the cars driving around slow down considerably if you do. If you drive the speed limit they will only go slightly faster than ai traffic. Its the same poo poo with races. If you only use half your throttle in a race, the ai will match it and slow down so they are only slightly ahead of you. Punch it and they speed up too. Whats funny about this is you can slingshot cars all over the drat place by slow boating and then cutting a corner to get ahead. The ai punches it into the back of the cars ahead trying to keep up to whatever "pace" its supposed to keep with you. Then of course theres the point where that stops and you are free to take first. If you are in a slow car on low difficulty settings the ai just shits the bed at this point. Their cars are slowed down too so that they cant go full throttle, unless of course you are ahead, then they can. The back and forth at that point isnt a challenge its just an annoying gimmick you have to deal with. The ai on the lowest settings really make these behaviors glaringly obvious. Also I dig the Drivatar system, but there are some that will jump across the track to hit you even if there is another car between you, and after rewinds it sometimes will target you so obviously that they t-bone you on straights. Anyways, its not that the ai is hard to do right in an open world, its that they scripted it to do these things because they think its "fun", and makes for good races.
