maverick99 posted:Do you guys think that using simulation steering will give drifters a significant advantage? I'm really just trying to decide whether I want to get used to it or not, because I really like the assisted steering in regular driving in the demo. If you know what you're doing, I imagine it could help. I don't know much about drifting, though. With simulation, the wheels point where you tell them to without that extra layer of interpretation. The assisted steering helps catch the cat when it tries to spin, which I would think would be detrimental to drifting. Someone who knows how to drift would be able to answer better.

Dr JonboyG posted:Welp, I think my Fanatec Porsche Turbo S wheel is having a complete mental loving breakdown. Fired up GT5 a bit earlier (graphics better than I remembered, only took 30 minutes from turning the PS3 on to start playing, what with all the updates) and despite having taken my Clubsport pedals apart this morning to lubricate the brake, I started getting the same problem I was having before where the brake shows 10-15% pressure when I'm not touching it. Switched back to Forza 4 and it started going bananas - pausing and unpausing the game at almost 10 Hz, which shouldn't have anything to do with the pedals because none of them control pausing the game! I switched over to the CSR Elite pedals and the problems remained, so I think that it's the wheel, or possibly both the wheel and the pedals that are hosed. I'm getting to the point where I want them to replace both, because this is just loving annoying. Mine had started pausing the game, and twitching in the force feedback. I made a video, and they fixed it for me. I lubricated my brake and the brake issue stopped.

AwwJeah posted:I want to get in on this LFA business. My GT is Aww Jeah. I don't have a copy of Forza 3, so I don't know if you can still send it or not. Also may I ask why there are so many LFA's and only LFA's going around? Was that the best car from 3 or something? They're gifting cars in Forza 3, so you can't get one without it. They're taking about the Lexus because even if you don't have the right dlc, it will transfer to forza 4. If you have certain cars in your forza 3 garage, they will be gifted to your forza 4 garage. In the normal game, you can buy any car for your garage if you earn enough credits. Unicorn cars are not available for normal purchase in the same way. They are in the game, but you get them as gifts from Turn 10 or by buying them in a special section of the auction house. You will not miss out on any cars by not having 3, you will just have to earn in game credits to buy them for your garage.

I think I'd be able to just claim the codes on my account/console, recover my gamertag on the other console and download them there, but I'm not sure if that would allow you to utilize the DLC while on an offline/standard profile (that is, not just my gamertag's profile with the ethernet cord unplugged).

Bodacious Bagel posted:Alright so I got the game last night at midnight at Walmart, played for a few hours and I love it already. I've been a diehard fan of Forza since the beginning, and consider myself to be an above average racer (all assists off, clutch, etc.). The reason I'm saying this is because I SO BADLY want to buy a Fanatec wheel so I can become even better and enjoy the game more. However, the $500 total for the wheel+pedals+shifter is the only thing holding me back. For those of you that have the Fanatec setup, is it worth it? If it makes any difference I put roughly 100+ hours into Forza 3, so I should be playing F4 for a long long time as well. Yes. My enjoyment went up immensly when I switched from the old MS wheel. 5 dollars per hour of entertainment isn't that bad, really, and your play time is likely to go up with a new wheel and all the rivals mode awesomeness.

Residency Evil posted:Don't tell me this. The steering is smoother, the force feedback is way stronger and feels more nuanced, and the clubsport pedals with clutch are a GIGANTIC improvement. Takes a bit to get used to the pressure sensitive brake, but my braking consistency is way better now. Edit: and the 900 degree steering allows for more minute adjustments which helps a lot on straights and ovals. Day Man fucked around with this message at 22:28 on Oct 11, 2011 |

Bodacious Bagel posted:Thanks guys, I think I might go for it. I'll be getting the Forza CSR Wheel, CSR Elite Pedals, and I'm not too sure about the shifter. Does the standard Porsche one work fine with any wheel? I'm assuming it does. Hopefully. Also, do I absolutely need a shifter, or can I just use the paddle shifters for now? Would the paddle shifters also work with a clutch? The paddle shifters will work with the clutch. The porsche shifter set will work with the new wheel, too. The csr shifter is supposed to feel much much better. The porsche one feels really mushy and like the plastic that it is. I'm considering upgrading, as it's definitely the weak point of my setup. I would highly recommend the rennsport stand as well.

Congratulations on your time, then, internet victory.  General Probe posted:I'm still looking for an answer to my earlier question about the AI: You can't change the AI in world tour mode. It gives them upgraded cars to match yours and uses an auto adjusting difficulty scale. If you keep winning, they get better, if you keep losing, they get worse. In other modes, you can select from 4 difficulties and select whether or not they get to use upgraded cars. Edit: I don't know about the in game credits. I thought you were supposed to get some for that, too.

You don't even have to use in-game credits anymore. It goes to 50 for each manufacturer, and you get credits. I don't think you get any cars. I love that the upgrades are free so quickly. Lets me feel a lot more comfortable experimenting. Making cars for GTCC races will be a ton easier now.

There are built in controller assists that try to make up for the fact that you have like 4mm of movement mapped to 900 degrees of steering. Now you actually have full control of the car and have to do that yourself. It takes time to learn.

BlackLaser posted:I dunno man, I have the regular pedals. I think they own. The brake alone is so much better than the MS wheel set it's worth the cost. Everyone raves about the club sports, but I have trouble imagining how they are an improvement. I just don't think I'm good enough at driving video game cars yet to take advantage of any benefits. They're better because they don't rely on brake position, they rely on brake pressure like a real car brake. Muscle memory helps your braking consistency as a result. The normal pedals are good, mind you, bu the clubsports are way better.

AlmightyPants posted:Is there any way to adjust the force feedback level on the MS Wireless Wheel? Or the sensitivity? Or anything? I really want to like this game with the wheel I just bought for it. But after a couple of hours I'm tired of fighting with it every inch of the way. I picked up the controller after an hour with the wheel and ran a perfect lap. With the wheel I'm constantly losing control and crashing. The steering feel is absurdly heavy. And should I hit a bump or get tapped by another car I pretty much lose control, fishtailing back and forth until a wall stops me. You should be able to adjust wheel settings in controller options. Advanced settings or something. If you want to stop spinning out, either stop overcorrecting or turn off simulation steering. The steering assist keeps you from overcorrecting. The force feedback is what tells you about your front end grip. When it's strong as you turn, your tires are sticking to the pavement. As the fronts break traction, the wheel will get "loose". The wheel will vibrate as you lose rear end grip. Real tires essentially do the same thing, it's just amplified a bit to help with the fact that you don't feel the g forces. You can turn down the strength of the force feedback in that menu, though, if you want. Mess with those settings until you get something you're happy with. Edit: Seriously, try the steering assist. It's done very well, and the only thing you'll notice is that you aren't spinning. Day Man fucked around with this message at 15:52 on Oct 13, 2011 |

It almost seems like they went a bit overboard trying to curb cheater cars and now AWDs are almost not worth it. New model vipers and corvettes corner well. I have done well with AWD cars, they just aren't a magic win button anymore.

Also, they brake way too loving early in front of you when there's plenty of speed left in the apex approach but then they'll rear-end you even if you're the most last-millisecond-braking-motherfucker on the track. When I have raced the AI cleanly, they give me plenty of room. I've actually been incredibly impressed with how realistic it is sometimes. When I start pushing them around, though, they don't hesitate to start using me as a brake.

Dirty laps don't necessarily mean you're doing something wrong, that indicator is just there for the leaderboards. Unless you're going for a rivals time, don't worry about it.  Wheel users: I've seen multiple people ask about adjusting wheels in game. If you go into My Profile:Options:Controller you can press x for advanced options. This will let you adjust all sorts of wheel settings.
