Same here, got the Dread Email and now the "Hey, your item is on the way" Email.

Please for the love of god let me just get my loving expensive virtual car racing game next Tuesday.

As to everyone else who knows for sure they are getting their copy; be very glad because at this point it feels like I'm being raped and there's nothing I can do about it :(

I guess I'm the only person not to get a "jk" email yet. I checked the order details page and now it says "estimated arrival: Tuesday,10/25/2011-Tuesday,11/08/2011"

I sent support an email too, but I guess they don't work on weekends.

Hey does anyone know how to convert from RGB/CYMK/HSV to forza's HSB?

Bentai posted:

I've found the SV/SB parts are 1:1, but the hard part is converting proper Hue into Forza's Hue. The proper Hue scale is 0-360, however Forza goes from 0.00 to 1.00. In the end I've just been eyeballing it and hoping for the best. I wish Forza devs could either convert to a 0-360 scale in a future patch, or maybe explain a good way of deriving an in-game Hue number from the normal HSV scale.

*late edit*
I think I figured it out!
  • Eyedrop the color you want in an HSV/HSB compatible program (Photoshop/Paint.NET/GiMP)
  • Take the Hue number, multiple by 100, divide result by 360
    (EG, H code of 225 * 100 == 22500 / 360 = 62.5)
Try it and see if it works.
You're a magician
Thanks a tonne!

Also, are there any club things with any openings for a scrub? GT is Cute as heck

Falken if you read this you need to make it so that people can request an invite of their own accord rather than having to be invited, that way I can just scroll through the requests whilst reading the forum. Everytime I go online I have friend requests from people wanting to join and I have 90+ friends now.

SAEG people, I'll be on at about 9:30 - 10PM GMT tonight if y'all fancy a few races (or are waiting for an invite and have had no luck with Falken). Probably be racing into the wee hours of the morning if enough of you show up.

Oh my god, I loving live off that poo poo. You're a genius! I'm too poor to own Forza 4 at the moment but I could start mocking something up in 3 and maybe send it to somebody to import.

When you do get the game, we're starting Team Bustelo.

So, what's everyone's favourite car to drive so far? I have to say that my favorites, in terms of fun-to-drive (not necessarily because they're the fastest) are the Ford RS200 and the tiny Lotus (I always forget Lotus names, because they're all too loving similar).

I put a GTR engine in a 300ZX; going 200+ in that car is literally the best thing
