If you had a hard time getting credits at any point in Forza 5 you a) Either weren't playing it, the payouts were low but not egregiously so before the economy patch that happened 10 days after release (I earned enough for an F1 car before the patch by.. simply playing the game, with zero repeating anything bullshit for cash) or b) Never heard of Forza Hub where they throw billions of credits at you monthly and have since before the game came out.

I did have the VIP bonus all the way through, though. That may be why it didn't bother me at all.

I dunno i've never played FM5 apart from some realy early build because I dont have a Microsoft Xbox One Console yet.

And elevation changes. While not drastic, they are there and make for a very dynamic lap. Every corner is unique and engaging in its own way.

I've only driven the indy circuit irl but paddock hill bend is fun as hell when you get it right and it's steeper than youd think. I'd love to do the full circuit one day but for some reason they rarely use it for TD's and its like double the price of a full day of the Indy Circuit.

I finally managed to pre-order this btw.

After days of trying to order it via their website and getting all sorts of bullshit from support about my account being "high risk" and telling me to use a different payment method I gave in, dusted off my xbone and ordered it through that.

Surprise! It worked first time.

Maybe this is all a part of Microsoft's ploy to get us to replace our PCs with Xbones! :tinfoil:

Okay great that's £80 pissed away looking forward to bombing around Nurburgring at night time in E class classics.
So pumped, this looks like the Forza the Xbone needed. Let's just pretend 5 never happened.
Is SAEG still a thing?

I might get it this month, but it depends if I can resist from buying a set of H&R coilovers from Germany while the euros still a bit weak. Still gotta get an xbone too lol.

Hey, what's a good strategy for racing FWD econoboxes?

Apex earlier than you would with a rwd car, set the brake bias rearwards by a small amount, also stiffen up the rear arb compared to the front. Trail brake into corners.

There are probably more things setup wise you can do with fwd that I cant think of right now.

It's true! I wrote it off at first until I learned it was a rotary. This DLC pack ain't so bad after all.

Its a rotary? I thought the carpack was pretty rad, although I always like moar racecars especialy lmp1's. I'm just sad that the TS040 only seems to be running on ICE because the telemetry only seems to show it having around 700bhp instead of 1000. Or am I missing an ERS deploy button?

Also i'm sad that all of the older SuperGT cars dissapeared and I badly miss suzuka. It's one of those tracks that has a good variety of different corners making it nice to test on, same goes for catalunya but its not as fun as Suzuka.

Speaking of tuning, is there anything like the old spreadsheet that used to be available for Forza 4? I've got the forzatune app but it's very basic compared to the old spreadsheet which allowed for a tonne of different things.

Forza games have their DLC delisted after 4 years; this has been the case since 2. My assumption is that it's due to licenses expiring.

They were all cars from Forza 4 and less of them, with the exception of just one? Not being any different from the main campaign is the problem too, plus all of the pointless forced commentary. For such an amazing car manufacturer, the level of effort put into this pack didn't reflect that.

919, cayman gts, macan (lol), 918, 991 Turbo, 997 GT3 RS 4.0 and 718 were not in forza 4. Honestly the pack couldve done with a modern 911 GTE, 991 GT3 RS, 993 GT2 and the Cayman GT4 though.

This is basically what happened to FM4 right before Horizon 1 was announced. And then when Horizon hit the stores, they were like "we'll keep up with FM4, doing bounties and updating the hoppers" and they didn't do that at all. So basically I think FH3 is near and they're focusing on that. Also what Cubey said.

But I thought the horizon games were made by playground games with not much of T10 involvement apart from assets and the engine?

When I drive cars ranging from D to X in a single night it gets really hard to know my stopping distances. It also helps me judge tunes i.e. whether I really need race tires.

Have you tried doing some practice laps with the line off to familiarise yourself with the track layout? I mean yeah you may fly off the track a couple times but you'll realise how conservative and also wrong in places the braking line is.

Forza 4 remains my favorite for the community features, not really the car list. Forza 6 has the best car list of any game of this kind to date as far as I'm concerned. Although I really, really miss my beloved Tesla Roadster and my not-beloved Spada Codatronca.

Also this new car pack is poo.

I dont get why they straight up dropped car clubs, in 4 and horizon you rarely saw a gamertag that wasnt a member of one. Same goes for having a storefront that you know, works.

I also have sat in an Exige and found it perfectly comfortable once inside. Getting in and out is a pain but whatever, I'm insane enough to not give a gently caress.

I am looking at swapping a 4th gen 3SGTE into my MR2, or maybe possibly a 2GR if I can find one for a decent enough price.

They ride fine due to most loti being light and well damped. But they are horrible to do any sort of long journey in, a friend had an S2 exige for a while and an hour on the motorway was enough to put me off.

I realy wouldnt bother with the 4th gen motors tbh, the extra faffing needed isnt worth the slightly more modern ignition system and integrated turbo youll still need to source a e153 box anyway. Just get the best condition 3rd gen half cut you can if you go 3sgte.

Or yeah go 2gr, i've been promised a drive in a car with a 2gr at some point which will probably make me want one even more.

I quite like all of the menu music in FM3/4, man FM4 was so good. I think it helped that when fm4 was out there were a shitload of people in my timezone to race with, i'm hoping that maybe if FM7 comes out on pc there might be more people for me to race with that doesn't involve playing games at 2am.

I don't remember any of the us/eu Gran Turismo music because when I was a gay teen I ended up with the japanese version that had all the smooooth jazz menu music.
