1. There's a good reason it could be a bug and unintentional. Copy and pasted code, or a code path that intersects with the code path for a 270 degree wheel. 270 wheel have speed sensitive steering but for obvious reason need full sensitivity when counter steering, so all the logic for the adjustment exists there. 900 degree wheels do not have speed sensitive steering but just like 270 degree wheels they increase in sensitivity when counter steering.

2. That is not a fix for the 900 degree wheel bug. It's only mimicking a 270 degree wheel. If you remember 270 degree wheels have speed sensitive steering. What it does do is make counter steering 1 to 1. So while counter steering is now fixed, actual steering at speed might as well be with a wheel with 3000 degrees rotation. You can tell because the wheel and in game cockpit view wheel no longer sync up for the center 160 degrees or so. It isn't 1 to 1 and therefore isn't a fix.

Can someone please tell me what car this is?

Ford Deluxe Coupe.

Wished they hadn't wasted their time with the Kinect crap, and put in night / weather. That's the only flaw I see.

Yep, it's a gimmick. Although, I kind of love the headtracking.

Kinect integration is probably much easier than night and weather, not to speak of hardware limitations.

 

[amar212]

So there's a way to 'fix' that steering wheel glitch?

No, I've been using that "procedure" since day 1 of the demo - ususal praxis since Forza 3 - and it has nothing to do with linearity assist, it only solves other problem related to input-efficiency.

Yoritomo explained it in #2 point.

FFFFFFFFuuuuuuuu!

Friday is going to take so long
Fucking Europe gets screwed once again.

I know that feeling, bro.

We need to create a European therapy waiting group. It's going to be a looong way until friday, or, at worst next monday...

Be sure to check my profile and add my GT guys, I know some of you already added me, thank you.

Help me with this. Never mind what the telemetry says, the actual steering seems to be what you'd expect though. No?

Best racing game ever .

I'm in love with the game!

T10 deserves some love god dammit, I expect record sales for the franchise!

 

[Diablohead]

it bums me out a bit that selected people here were given freebie copies while I have to go pay for my copy next friday (uk release date sucks) it's a really annoying turn off along with the over priced and limited to game/gamestation LE at full RRP.

It's a dick thing to do.

It's the Renesis 20B, yes, but I don't think I'd compare it to what sits in a Cosmo...I'm just surprised that they had the classic 20B in F2 and F3, but wouldn't have it here. I'd expect them to just add the Furai's engine and also give the option of swapping in the Renesis from the RX8

Why would anyone want to downgrade an FD from an REW to a renesis...
And also, why double up on 20Bs? Besides, having the word "Cosmo" associated with an engine 'upgrade' was a bit strange in the first place... If anything, a 4-rotor (26B) would be the most obvious engine transplant inclusion!!!

The should just add a first gen rx7 as dlc, I'd be happy with a ported 12A.

I hope you're being sarcastic...

If not, then no offense or anything, but what makes you so special?

Or are you just being grumpy due to the wait?

I'm still buying my LE. Supporting T10 100%, if I didn't have to save some money because I have alot of expenses in the near future I would have pressed on wiyj the tri-monitor setup, I just need another 360, two more LCD LED monitors and 2 more copies of forza (1 if the green disc worked as a copy) but it's all good I'll do it eventually.

Can't imagine triscreen + headtracking..


Also the amount of space I have for all of this is very limited

Were there things in the green disc that were locked?

Fuck yeah. Nothing beats the sound of an older buzz box.
Although, we should be getting the RX3 through DLC at some stage so i'm looking forward to that even more. Perhaps some Aussie drag scene replicas wouldn't go astray?

 

[SPEEDxNASTY]

A lot of the recent pictures I see on FM.net are nice but too dark and hurts my eyes, like most of the HDR (high dynamic range) shots.
I prefer photo-realistic shots more, feels more natural and less artificial.

Anyway, that's just my opinion, here's some more shots that I liked from FM.net.

 

[Slayer-33]

In autovista mode I don't hear any menu music I think you are supposed to hear some bg music because I heard it before in some of the videos, there's some locked DLC (the ones you know about already) and other details that lead me to believe that it'll get patched or be updated for retail.

We'll see soon enough.

Anyone else who ordered from GAME UK get this email this morning?

yep normal with big games.

thank you for the laugh first thing in the morning

They're nice shots, the luminosity is good and feels natural, needs maybe a bit more color to make them feel "warmer" and alive.

 

[Megasoum]

So wait...I heard that there is no more endurance races?? Is it true?

Reposting here since I didn't get an answer. Somebody with the full game can help me with this?

I'm always distracted by SarBear's avatar. who is in your avatar SarBear?

Girlfriend.

Depends on how fast you're going. Turn drift mode up, get going fast, pull up telemetry. Spin the wheel to full lock and you'll see it's only about 30% of the actual input on telemetry. That's due to the speed sensitive steering.

I made a PAC themed rx7 in FM3, looking forward to porting it over and doing more with it. If there was an RX3 and Mazda mx6, this would be a spot on design.

Ps. I can gift it to you if you want to work on it. It's very very very far from perfect, but all the elements are there. Perhaps you could make it look good...

The last thing anyone would want to do is give me a livery duty. I suck big time.
I just download other people's designs and call it a day.

Why, what do you suggest?

Forza 4 |OT| Turn gamers into car lovers and car lovers into gamers
Forza 4 |OT| Turn 10 love letter to car lovers
Forza 4 |OT| The king is dead, long live the king

I don't know.. I read the title as a joke/sarcasm to Turn 10 speech, and not a praise for what they did in all these years. The last one is a bit of trolling, but it is real and a BIG achievement for Turn 10.

And when we're onto this stuff already, what about quailifing? Especially in online races? Anyone know?

No qualifying offline. I even was given a race that was named 'qualifying heat', but it was just a normal 12 car race run on Hock during the day, while the next 'heat' was just the same 12 car race run on Hock during the evening. Both races were scored and rewarded individually and pretty much the same.

I put heart and love into that title.

 

[iamcenok]

Just 2 quick questions.

Does anybody know if you can set how the in game camera will be at the start of the race? I hate the fact in the demo, as soon as the race starts I have to tap the change view button to get the view I prefer (outside the car).

And also, pop up headlights -- do they work at all? I doubt as usual you can turn headlights on (unless I missed something) but if you could atleast pop headlights up I'd be happy.

 

[Shaneus]

Worth trying lol.

But damn, Kinect's voice-recognition is awesome. So impressed.

I have a horrible feeling that Australians won't get it... we still don't have *regular* Kinect voice support!

Girlfriend.

This thread is now about SarBear's girlfriend.

As much as I love the OT, I have to agree with you there. I mean, this is a BIG game for Turn 10 and MS, and would be better if the title has a more serious vibe to it. I would love to see 'The king is dead, long live the king' but troll face would rear his ugly mug so a more subtle title would be in order. Or perhaps Forza 4 |OT| Beards would suffice lol.

it should stay as the last camera used.

It's a shame we couldn't get away with F1 references. I'd love to see something like "Not bad for a 7-year-old console". Maybe "Turning car game lovers into Xbox 360 lovers" or something.

 

[AMUSIX]

I'll check on the endurance races in a bit..and paintable rims...

 

[op_ivy]

Forza 4 |OT| I thought I was playing Project Gotham
Forza 4 |OT| T10 labeled "Track Day" and "Autocross" for modes that are not really track days or autocrosses

those would be my picks

Spoiler

the current one is more then sufficient - i like it

 

[AMUSIX]

on the thread title...the current one is just a string of everything Turn 10 has been ridiculed for saying/repeating.....is that a bad thing?

Or is it not supposed to be mocking Turn 10?

 

[Gek54]

Help me with this. Never mind what the telemetry says, the actual steering seems to be what you'd expect though. No?

When I use that method is creates a horrible dead zone in the center. Not a true dead zone but it reduces the input greatly, its not a better alternative.
