The Beetle is awesome with all the race mods installed and upgraded to class C. Naturally, mine is wearing the best Herbie livery I could find on the storefront.
That car is the Zooey Deschanel of Forza 4, so adorkable.

The only thing left to do to my Beetle is the wheels. Any good ones that emulate the shoes Herbie wears?

Cragar has some chrome ones that are similar. If you want to paint them, maybe the American Racing Outlaws?
Don't go giving Beardy any ideas until he gives us the HSV-010. He's got a very short attention span and is easily distracted.

Got the damn level bug. Back to level 2 I go!
What level bug?
I think maybe the bug you get where you're addicted to levelling up?

I'm sitting at around level 212, the bug supposedly kicks in at 255.

Maybe he is just starting over but there is a real bug in the game

Bug doesn't actually reset your level, it just doesn't display properly in a number of places. Presumably a bunch of the UI was coded when levels stopped at 150, and to store that number you only need two one bytes.
Edit: am idiot.
Edit: am idiot.
You really only need one byte to get to 150, and still one byte to get to 200, or even 250 (max size for one byte is 255, in unsigned form). Unless I'm just being stupid or something?

Doesn't sound too bad then.
On another note I'm hoping Forza 5 can do something like this using SmartGlass: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WH_BtO3O-yY&feature=fvwrel
I love a HUD-less display but the dials can be a bitch to read at lower resolutions, mounting a phone to my wheel would be awesome.

Sorry, brain fart. I work in high-level languages and only very rarely work with bytes (have reverse engineered a few files, made a few programs that write their own network packets). Was thinking of 0x0 to 0xF as a byte when I posted instead of 0x00 to 0xFF being a byte.
I would totally use that. I always run with no hud so this would be really helpful. Wonder if it could be anything more than this, like a rear view mirror.

More at the site.
It's great to see Forza behind one of, if not the biggest and most prestigious races... in the world.
E-tron quattro, TS030, and DeltaWing in next month's DLC pack, plz.

First mention, I think. Many were expecting it for the June pack.
Mentioned at announcement.
I bought the game about 10 weeks ago with a 360 and have been playing since. Paused a little while to play Deadly Premonition. I got a month of free XBL with the Xbox and played online during that time. Really wish i could do the le mans stuff this weekend.
I've started In the event list in the F class and am nearly though e class now. I've been favoring the vw golf in e class and Datsun 69 fairlady in f class. I have 10 more heat races to go. I love the game and even bought the last dlc pack. If I had more expendable income I'd buy the Porsche pack too.
I just wish I could own more of these cars in real life or at least get to drive them. That will probably never happen on a journalist's income though. Too bad.
My plan is to run through each class race by race until I'm done. I run will all aids off except for ABS and sim steering, sim damage and no rewind.
I'm looking forward to playing with the new Toyota in the d class.
I don't think I'll buy Horizon though. It does not seem to it my style.

OK GRom reveal your secret......
EDIT:
OK, I think I figured it out...
(Didn't want to upload too many, just in case it gets you banned if T10 see them...)
What other tracks can you do this on? the lighting on Silverstone is too strange?
Free Viper DLC? Awesome.
Thinking about the meagre track count in FM4 got me wondering why the fantasy tracks can't be mirrored on top of running them in reverse. OK, it's an old-skool cheap trick but surely it's better than nothing? I imagine it would be dead simple to implement too: a few lines of code to mirror everything except the branding/advertising assets.
Come on Dan, release this as a title update and feel the love.

Finally grabbed the Porsche pack.
And took my favourite one for a spin!
The sound........... <drool>
(Is Flickr compressing photos now or something - at least more than they used to...?)
Noticed this too.
I drew the camera back a bit (around 1.08m) and zoomed in (I think 13x).
And noticed if i varied the depth of the camera by .01m the level of detail of various shadows changed quite dramatically...
I thought it was strange and must keep it in mind.
The most notable difference was the shading on the rear pillar and on the rear of the front guard - I guess I just caught it in between big steps or something...

OK, so how does one do this 'thing' to get different camera angles etc. hate being limited on the camera for no real valid reason.
Yeah can't see the photos after your edit.
I don't see the differences between the two photos you posted but I know there are LOD problems on grilles. If you go too far and/or dezoom too much, it will start to disappear and become much darker. You can easily see it on race cars and on the engine cover of the Carrera GT.
Also, I don't see why they would ban people for taking pictures of cockpits.

Faces. Cannot unsee them in the M600.

Try as I might, I cannot get the homespace cockpit camera glitch to work.
G Rom's shots showcase how much detail there is in the cockpits that you don't always get to see-- not quite Autovista levels of detail, but surprisingly close in some cases.
Am I being too optimistic in expecting FM4 AV-caliber detail for FM5's high-poly/photomode models, with FM4 photomode models for 16+ AI cars? Goddamn, I can't wait to see what they can pull off on the new box.

Did you mean HQ models for AI cars ingame? If so, I hope for a little better (at least a basic cockpit) than what we have but would rather the polygon budget gets spent elsewhere...larger grid for one!
I'd like better LOD transitions though - spaces between panels grow and shrink with no regards to distance and badges/grilles flip between different textures, sometimes looking nothing like they did the frame before. Clean that shit up and it'd be fine.
I'm really excited for next gen Forza, in the absence of PGR it'd make an awesome launch title.

LOD transitions have been vastly improved compared to FM3 but yeah some work is still needed in that area.
Polygon budget needs to be spent on tessellating the road IMO. Get rid of the flat surface and get Sega Rally Revo level of details in the road along with actual bump you can see.
As for the cockpit, having seen several of them up close now, I can think of a few small things that could massively improve them :
- Ambient Occlusion
- Self-shadowing
- Improved polygon number
- Improved shaders and texture resolution (AV cars show that they can improve on that)

I'm sorry this is not Forza 4 related, but does anyone feel that Forza Horizon was made to just bridge the gap between F4 and F5 while offering something different to those who are looking for a more arcadey type jump in and play game.
I'm just trying to wrap my head around what the purpose of Horizon is. Doesn't seem like a game that should have Forza attached to it.
Thought's?

Well Forza Horizon isn't a traditional arcade game since it only has the atmosphere of it. The gameplay is supposed to be close to FM4 so pretty sim.
BTW, there's a thread for Forza Horizon in the gaming section.
I can't get over how insanely good some cockpit look :
If there's one material that Turn 10 nailed in FM4, it's the carbon fibre. I mean look at that shit, ridiculous !
Edit : I understand now why Turn 10 don't allow photos of the interiors. It's because they don't want us to see the ugly seats of the 95' Mustang !

I'm loving the pics Grom.
I still don't know how to do it though and don't understand why we don't have free control of the camera,

I'll try a new post...
The Porsche ones were Flickr, these are i.minus, and for some reason they load differently...
Grabbed the latest DLC pack too. This AMG Black is an absolute beast and handles and recovers quite well for such a huge barge.
I think this one is the best I've taken so far.
And a few more.

I just figured it would be classified as "exploiting a known glitch/bug".
If you're doing it, I'm doing it, though!
Any tips, I mean yours have a stack more clarity than I have found...
(Are these in "Garage photo mode"?)

Wow, how did people figure out how to glitch into the interiors besides the Silverstone trick??
T10 should give us interior photos options in FM5, anyway...
