siig posted:I think there are some bugs on Sedona Club Circuit (maybe on all versions of Sedona) that makes clean laps become dirty for no reason. I get laps marked dirty for seemingly no reason at all, and I can't figure out why. I don't follow motorsport at all, but I've put hundreds of hours combined into FM2 and 3. I thought there might be something I'm missing. On a lot of tracks I'll be going on a straight, or into/ out of a turn, with no one around and see the ! Flashing. This also happens a lot when going past the start finish line, the lap will just become insta-dirty for no reason that I can tell. Regardless, this game is amazingly fun, I just got a Shelby Daytona Le Mans car as a level 30 reward and the thing is a blast. Sounds great, fast as hell and so much grip. When it lets go, its just so manageable, I was drifting around the Bernesse Alps like it was no bodies business. I don't know if LLJK is still full, but I put in a request. GT : Molgandhi.

1) Contact and cutting corners I had figured, but holy gently caress I never would have guessed drafting makes laps dirty. The game rates your drafts! It's like, "4/4 Good Job drafting, man! ...But that's illegal." 2) How can you avoid drafting then? If a car is ~one second faster then yours, what's a guy to do? if I slow, the gap will increase so I won't get penalized, but his car is faster then mine. If I let up he's gunna dust me, and if I could be faster then him, well, there wouldn't be this issue.

SirViver posted:Does it actually matter? As far as I understand the dirty indicator only affects you if you want to hotlap for the leaderboards or rivals mode, and in neither should you have AI cars around (that race you). If drafting didn't invalidate the lap you could gain an unfair advantage - for laptime comparison - by having someone else (or coaxing the AI into) letting you draft them on straights that would offset an otherwise crippling downforce or power penalty for example. That makes sense, if people want to run the leaderboard, they shouldn't have the advantage of drafting to help. I guess it just pisses me off because it makes me think I'm doing something wrong. SirViver posted:That said, I don't have the full version yet, do you actually get bonus points for "clean" laps? No. Not in world tour, anyway.

OK, so I'm just starting the Masters series of World Tour, and I goto the event list to see how things are coming along there, and certain races you do in world tour don't transfer over to the event list. We've established the reason for this is that in world tour, it will offer you an event on a specific track, but on the Event list, that event never takes place on that track. Is there any way to avoid doing races in world tour that aren't on the event list? You can understand what a pain in the rear end it would be if say, you do four races of the North America Tour A in the World Tour, then you go to the event list, and you have do that entire series again, on four different tracks. There's SO MANY races in the event list, why would they present you options in world tour that aren't on the event list?

go3 posted:Anyone else just drive straight through autocross and give no fucks about winning it? I take the opposite approach, take it super slow and go through all the gates. They give you sooo much time, without taking 5 second penalties you should pass no problem. Now that I'm in GISH, what's the best way to get in some online goon racing? I've seen enough of the career mode for now.

Dbhjed posted:How does Career Progress work? I am on race 3 of the Expert series but my progress is only 3%. How do you progress more? GreatGreen posted:So, how does the World Tour mode work, mechanically speaking? Does the game just throw you a randomized track and three randomized events leveled to your car or player level, one after the other forever? Progress is based off how much of the Event List you've completed. The pisser is that they often give you events in World Tour that don't exist in the Event List. It could say "Your next race is at Silverstone!" and you would choose, for example, the Class B World Tour and finish that. Then you go to the Event List, only to find you've completed "0/5" races in the Class B World Tour, because that event never actually takes place on that track. The only way I've found to combat this is too look at the three choices in world tour, then go back to the event list and find one of those three events that takes place on the track you're at in world tour, then go back to the world tour screen and race it. It does not matter the configuration, direction or number of laps. As long as that event takes place on that track in the event list, completing on the world tour will also complete it on the event list.

I'm so glad new York circuit is gone, that track was a snooze. My top 3 in this game are Road Atlanta, Bernie's, and the Top Gear track. It might just be the scenery, or the fact that it's new, but I just find Bernie's is so fun to drive. So far I'm not to fond of Hockemheim ring, but Infineon is a great addition.

Cojawfee posted:I'm guessing you never played the version with chicanes? Or maybe you never played multiplayer? It was kind of boring alone, but with other people, it was amazing. Racing neck and neck with someone, playing chicken to see who gets to go through the chicane first. The ends always killed me, they should fix that, but it was a zen like experience getting the chicanes right every time. Chicanes yes, Online no. I can see how it would be a fun track with a full grid online, but every time it came up in Forza 2 single player (I can't even remember how SP was laid out in that game) it was like a death sentence.

GhostDog posted:As I understand it, some manufacturers give out exclusive licenses, so you have to get a sublicense from the current holder if you want that brand in your game. Ferrari is held by MS, Porsche is held by EA. Personally, in terms of advertising to the right demographic, I think if you are Porsche you're probably somewhat better off appearing in Forza or Gran Turismo than Need for Speed: The Run. Some of these games are bought by car people, some not. Keep in mind I have zero evidence to back this claim, but, I'm of the opinion that T10 intentionally excluded porches just so they could release a dlc pack of 10 of them and collect the 8 bucks or whatever it is for them. If they realllly wanted the license I'm sure they could have bought it, but they are just waiting for it to expire or waiting to pony up the cash, so they can pass those charges onto us (through paid dlc) If anyone has a link to prove me wrong, I'd like to see it, but the whole thing just seems like more of a business decision then a licensing issue.

I had no trouble beating the target times on the previous KotT events, but this month is brutal. That track is not fun, all the corners look the same, and it's so wide I can't figure out a good line, because I always arrive at each corner at a different place on the track. Also that car is trying to kill me, all I have to do is look at it funny and the back whips around. And what's with the curbs on Indy, they aren't really tall or anything, but anytime I touch it the wheel slips off and I start spinning out...again. Regarding that Wiesmann, it does ride hard as gently caress, but my problem is with the brakes. The issue is that they don't... stop the car.

I'm so done with KotT. 25 more laps, with TCS on this time. First time since Forza 2 that I've done that. I managed to shave about 2 seconds down to 1:34.273, but that track is so poorly designed, I just can't stand to run it anymore. It's like they never designed it to be fun to drive on, they just designed it like that because that was the most efficient use of the infield grass on their stupid god forsaken oval. Interestingly enough, my hot lap time was identical, down to the 1/1000 of a second, to Wanderer512. Bet I couldn't do that again even if I tried.

This is true, except for what was just mentioned, after 150 you don't get a bonus for leveling. Once those 250000 forza-chedder bonuses dry up you earn credits pretty slow in single player, so rivals or multilayer lobbies against AI is the way to go.

Did they get rid of all the old posts and start from scratch? There were a few topics I was looking for in the tuning section but it looks like there's only one page of threads in there now? I remember reading in a news post that the new forum is from scratch, but that they would maintain the old forums for some amount of time so people could get any info before it gets shut down for good. This was in the first or second week of January, but I didn't pay any attention since I've never read or posted on the official forums before.
