I agree if this game had car clubs and a storefront it would be the best by far. But I really miss clubs and storefront.
Yeah, I wish the Storefront was back as well. Or at least be able to sort through designs/tunes by number of downloads or by popularity.
 
Badned had been changing his profile status on Forzacrentral every so often, they were talking about it for a bit in the Car/Track list thread on Forzacentral.
Oh, okay then. Thanks!

EDIT: One more question, I'm looking at the website and I can't seem to find a forum. So, how did you see Badned's status?

I feel we'll be getting the IMSA Celica real soon. It's inevitable. Besides, I neeeeeds it. :)

On another note, the DLC transactions. I just spent $3.95 on the Honda RA300. It's like buying scale model cars. Only, my imaginary road doesn't end at arms length.

I have no problem picking from the list of cars and spending real cash for them. Just like real scale cars, we can only buy what is on offer. I can start a collection of hot wheels without a track. Or I can buy a track and only get 2 cars. The rest I would have to buy anyway. For those that do have an issue with such transactions, it's something to think about.

You should buy the car pass, you could save money that way. :)
 
So I'm getting the lady into playing forza. She is not doing too bad 45min ago she was crashing into everything and now she is winning races on easy (new racer) it kinda scares me if she keeps improving at this rate XD
 
Is that with Gold Live? I cancelled my XBOX gold when I sold my 360. Hence why I'm not racing online.
No you don't need live for it. It's 30 dollars for six car packs of seven cars. They come out once a month. 42 cars total. Three of them are out so far. You may have bought individual cars already of some of the first three though, you would have to check and see. It's way cheaper then buying individual cars :) (that doesn't include the fast and furious car pack or the VIP car pack though, just the monthly ones.)

Now she is in average difficulty With aggression on. O.o she needs to slow her roll lol.
 
Hmm I have a feeling that the Porsches won't be included in the season pass..

I wonder when the Porsches will drop next year. Probably not before April with the Car Pass ending in March, but I think it needs to happen well before attention shifts towards Horizon again.
 
Kinda ****ing irritating. Sucks I have to wait months for something that's already complete... FH2 helps, but I gotta go back to Forza 4 to get my Porsche on a track fix.

+edit
And they removed the DLC without warning. As Jim Richards would say, "what a pack of arseholes."

I got all the DLC packs on the Friday before they pulled the content from forza 4. I live out in the sticks and had just gotten decent internet. Before that I had to take my Xbox to my brothers house an hour away every few months and load up on DLC and updates. I was shocked when I seen they pulled it. I can't believe I had just gotten it all and then they pulled it. It's a major bummer for those who didn't get the Porsche pack because they can't complete the game.
 
Well, I am done with finals and my fall school semester, I can focus more time on Forza and I guess I'll try to get one of those high credit prizes.

I had great luck all week hitting the one million, but today it seems like I keep hitting mod packs. The biggest I've seen in my game is the ten million prize, but I did notice the 50 million dollar one pictured in one of the other threads. I wonder what level spin that was?
 
I've gotten some pretty poor spins recently. The past 5 spins have either been mod packs or 50,000 Cr.

Edit: I just spun again and got the E23!

I've been oddly enough getting consistant wheel spins; I keep getting 400,000cr spins. Though, I did get a million credits one one spin and I just got a Maserati Bird Cage with my most recent spin.

Of course, I really want to get a 10 million credit wheelspin, that would be awesome.
 
I finally finished stories of motor sports today in the career and am doing my first endurance race now. I picked Indy and slapped on 2 +60% exp mods and a +10% power +6% grip mod. We shall see how many spins I get. My favorite mod i have is grip specialist. +12% grip and braking. I use it all the time except on high speed straighter tracks like Indy. Really makes a difference in wet tracks.
 
As someone who is used to using a wheel in other racing games, do any of you think it's worth it to get one for this game? Kinda struggling to get a feel with this controller. The triggers are great but my thumbs don't really like how loose the sticks feel. I'm constantly tapping the stick left and right and not being steady because, well, my thumbs are having a lot of trouble staying put. :indiff:

Also I'm not quite sure how I'd have to adjust my driving given the current meta at the highest level is to use manual with clutch.

my wheel is a non-ffb TM 458 Spider so I can't comment on ffb, obviously. I can tell you though that the level of fine inputs that you can achieve make smooth driving very achievable

Inner zone 0, outer zone 100 is the generally accepted way to go

So imo, even a basic wheel like mine is a step up from the controller

@RacerPaul is right about changing the deadzones in the advanced settings. It definitely helps.

Coming from a wheel will mean it'll take a while to get used to the sticks, really. Even if you were coming from a DS3, you're right, the sticks are a little looser. Over the years, I've found it actually makes it slightly more forgiving in Forza, since you can make tiny corrections once you've got the feel down.

I'd say, if you're thinking of getting a multi-purpose wheel in the near future for the next gen, to wait a bit. I believe Fanatec has a base coming that can swap between either the One or the PS3/4, and I imagine that'd work well for a TRL driver!
 
It's a bit late to say this, but I have one more thing to say about the Plymouth Fury. I know that it didn't originally come in red, but I'm glad Turn 10 gave us the "Christine" paint scheme anyway. It just looks so much better in red than in that white/beige color. I feel that it should have been a production color in the first place. :D
 
Wheew my fingers hurt. I just did some Rivals on La Sarthe at night and I got my DBR9 to top 40 in the Americas, and top 100 in the world. 4:02 with the he chicanes. I ran a couple 3:58s and one 3:57 but I dirtied the laps. I'm so proud of myself lol.
 
Finished all of the endurance races! Saved the Sebring 300 for last and oh man was that a painful race. It took me 2 hours 50 minutes to complete. I never want to see Sebring again.

On a related note, I wish we could turn off mods as prizes. Nothing more frustrating than getting a mod pack on 3 of 7 spins after a 3 hour endurance race.

What I think could largely fix the Mod Pack problem is not allowing duplicates of the permanent ones (the Crew and Dare types) to be won. There's absolutely no point in me having five of the same dare, and it'd help those trying to collect a complete set (or grab certain Achievements) if duplicating was only possible on the one-time-use Mods.

I used to hate Sebring in FM4, but I've grown to really enjoy it in FM6. Still can't get a proper line on the last turn though.

Yes the bumps at the last turn are a pain but once you find the line that works for you it is a awesome track
