Some good races last night guys.

It was chaos with only 6-8 of us there in some cases so lord knows what the carnage will be like once we get a race with way 20+ of us going.

For those complaining about the standard career mode, back out of that shit and do the showcases. That's where the real fun is.

 

[shandy706]

Most effects do, I don't think its a glitch more just how they are rendered and how it integrates with rewind. Same thing happened in FM5.

Yeah, happens more often with rewind.

Just went into photo mode and it didn't disappear this time (3rd try). Just don't rewind, lol.

Thanks for the advice

Still trying to figure out a fast A class car. One chap was killing it in a Lan Evo.

 

[zoobzone]

damn just started the game and got this, feels good.

Trying to capture backfire from the exhaust on a picture was sometimes a pain in the ass because of this.

 

[Paladin CL]

Im really enjoying the game, what is making the big diference for me is the aggresion limit of the AI, finally im having clean races, I hated paint trading and side blind cars.
In content seems quite good.

The first thing I did after finishing the intruduction was to buy and sell the F1 lotus untill i got rid of all the millions and gifted cars, starting with fast cars and tons of money just ruins the progression of the game for me. To bad you cant gift them.

 

[Grassy]

Oh my fucking god. I just spent an hour drifting the 458 Speciale around Spa in the rain...fucking sublime. This game man.

 

[ST3K3LLY]

It's interesting how everyone is saying how much fun they're having without mentioning visuals. Definitely seems lost on this forum that game play matters the most.
It feels really similar to playing forza motorsport 4 to me so I'm as happy as I've been in ages with a driving game, I can see myself not playing triple screen project cars for a while.

 

[Slayer-33]

For the love of baby Jebus, the 3G TL/TLS need to be immortalized in a game.

Helios can you tell Dan to add the 07-08 Acura TL type S to the game? Thanks bro.

[Mobius 1]

Yep

There goes $100

 

[GHG]

There goes $100

And the rest if you don't have a wheel yet.

I desperately need one.

 

[Hawk269]

If you guys are racing online in a private lobby send me an invite.

GT: Dead P0ul

I mentioned this before in the thread, but when I copy and paste you GT Xbox Live says it does not recognize your name. Tried adding you twice now, but it always says name unknown.

Perhaps send me a friend request. My GT is: Hawk269

 

[Hawk269]

Look, can some scrubs jump online soon because my ego can't handle finishing literally a mile behind everybody else each race.

You know what though buddy...People appreciate someone that wants to keep trying instead of quitting the game because you are in last. I know for me, when I stink up the track, I continue racing until the time runs out. I remember playing a 10 lap race and I was lapped and I even did the nice and ensured I moved out of the way so the faster cars did not have to deal with my poor driving just to lap me.

All in all, you will get better the more you play the game and it is nice having peple of all skill levels.

 

[danowat]

Now I've had a chance to drive a few more cars, I can definitely say the physics are a huge improvement over FM5.

 

[Kacho]

Indeed. It was immediately noticeable to me and a huge sigh of relief.

 

[willbsn13]

This game man.......its just so much better than FM5 it's not even funny.

GHG I absolutely agree, the showcases are a brilliant idea and sort of act as a second career. I hope they add more as they flesh the game out with more types of cars and tracks, cause they really are great fun.

Need to add myself to that GAF spreadsheet, keen for some racing!

 

[danowat]

My wonky playtimes don't appear to align with the opening of league races unfortunately.

 

[willbsn13]

Yeah I was racing in them before, went for a break, and now I can't race in them anymore. There's only one league up at the moment, so when they add a few more into the mix, hopefully there should be something up at all times!

Sounds like me on GTA V. Start with $500k? Nah, I'm good.

Shame you can't get the VIP pass without messing up progression though. Double XP means you're getting twice as many spins as most people will.

 

[Mascot]

Oh God so the demo is actually the beginning of the full game? Gah. Unskippable kindergarten teacher voice disabling my controller while I listen to her tell me what XP is again...

Just let me playyyyy

This made me chuckle.

I think it's double earnings, not double XP.

 

[Stephen_drewz]

Never got into the online side of Forza before outside of playing with friends, do I just choose a car and then it matches me based on class? As much as I suck I am keen to try improve with this one.

Another online question, do people ram much? What happens if someone accidentally rams, can you be vote kicked or something?

Thanks, sorry for the basic questions. Stuck at work and all I can think of is Forza lol.

 

[Stevey]

How are you guys uploading screenshots?mine aren't showing up in my activity feed or on xboxdvr.com

Game gives away way too much money lol

VIP bonus doesn't help

Can't speak for FM6, but I had my first online race in FM5 last night. I had to pick a class first and then a car afterwards, so I'd assume it's the same in FM6.

Generally it was a clean race, but someone did police-tap me, causing me to spin, resulting in a massive crash

Yeah, sorta makes the sense of progression a bit wonky.

are the graphics any different from the demo ? just curious

Curious to know why you think they would be?

Sometimes game demos are from older builds is all. So I asked is all

 

[zoobzone]

Looks the same to me.

 

[Mascot]

I read they'd actually been improved in a few areas since the demo, just minor stuff.

 

[danowat]

Some tracks have more apparent aliasing than others, but they appear to be the same as the demo.

I would also like someone like DF to look at various tracks in there test, because if I didn't know better, I'd say there are some stuttering issues and maybe even frame drops at certain tracks (Watkins Glen is one)

When fully loaded (24 cars, wet weather), or during 'normal' play (whatever 'normal' play is, lol)?

 

[frontieruk]

Spa at night... Scary

 

[danowat]

Was a couple of career races, 24 cars, no weather.

Try a hard reset of your console I noticed that glitch in the demo and thought my console was the issue rather than the game a reset later and it was smooth

I have not anything show up about VIP bonus!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :/

 

[tuna_love]

Is anyone using th8a shifter? Its stopped working on my Xbox but still works on pc. Fucking annoying.

 

[drugstore_cowboy]

Yeah, had no problems with TH8A.

Does it work on PC through the wheel or just via USB?

edit: reflashed the firmware?

 

[TBiddy]

is this really still a forza issue? am I thinking right that they added support to use player 2 for camera mode a few forza's back?

I can't get it to work.

I really want to start shooting some pics, but this is just weird

 

[tuna_love]

Yeah, had no problems with TH8A.

edit: reflashed the firmware?

Just via USB on PC. Tried reflashing the firmware. Dunno what's going on.

 

[drugstore_cowboy]

Yeah that is weird.

Any breaks in the cable connecting it to the wheel or damaged pins?

 

[tuna_love]

Looks all good to me. Has to be that chord though I spose

 

[danowat]

Anyone noticed if the exhaust mods change the exhaust sound this time round?.

I can't say I notice it.

Also, what is so difficult about having a proper audio setup page?, the players engine sounds are drowned out by the AI's engine sounds and tyre noise, why can't we adjust the volumes of different sounds

 

[drugstore_cowboy]

That's another backwards step, says on the loading screen to listen out for the tyres (nice new sounds btw) but I can barely hear them a lot of the time.

I like in Free Play mode the game remembers the AI settings and so on now, used to reset every time I left that screen. Much easier to jump in now.

 

[Stephen_drewz]

Am I at a disadvantage for playing on auto? I try get into manual everytime a new forza comes out but it never sticks.

 

[ResidentDante]

I usually never do it right from the start, I would recommend you to switch over when you are more familiar with the game, cars and tracks. In that way you can focus your concentration on shifting gears more than everything else.
