Fat. I had a look at the error code online and it looks like it comes up if your drive has been swapped. I know the guy I got it from had changed the drive over to a quieter one quite some time before I got it but I haven't had a problem until now.

Oh well, gotta chase him up now! Perhaps this is a good excuse for getting a slim... hmmm.

Motherfucking FIXED. Sure, it's almost half-past midnight in the land of Oz, but I have my 360 reading the Forza 4 disc error-free and installing as we speak.

Will likely be joining all you mofos after work tomorrow for some major shenanigans.

God Damn Hatz DoNuts, that livery is sick! and free! damn.

i backed out of the gaf club, for now, if anyone is looking for a smaller club to join - even if its temporary, shoot me a pm.

I didn't even know there was a concept and a "normal" version.

I'm loving the more timely and exciting world tour so I have been doing a lot of that. I love the pace of it compared to Forza 3's "season play". The only thing is, if you go and look at your event list after doing a lot of world tour, it looks like you have barely finished any of the events.
So what's everyone playing?

I've been messing on WT and Rivals.. love the rivals concept is very very awesome

 

[Shortt Sirket]

Not sure if anyone is interested, but I threw up a comparison of the Big Shots and the normal shots in the Livery Thread.

I didn't use anything special to downsize the Big Shots but you can definitely see the quality difference in everything from the lighting to the models. It really shows how much detail and time they put into the Big Shots.

I cant find pics of the concept version, all the pics I can find are what the car looked like in Gt5. Also I noticed in the F4 version the huge air ducts in the front bumper are not there and of course the rear rims and the fact the car is glossy black versus matte carbon fiber. I really hope they release the REAL version but I doubt it :/

Anyone else having the game hang on "saving content" when trying to load any saved design on any car?


Was working fine before the title update - I have to power off / on the XBOX every time and I'm afraid it's going to corrupt my precious save game

 

[acm2000]

I wonder why they can't just patch to fix those wheel problems. It probably can't take THAT long to fix :/

only one rim per car, one wheel, copy and pasted

 

[LiK]

Audio during the menus is a bit weird. Slight static or hum or something. Maybe they use a filter for the music? I dunno.

Btw, the in-game music is pretty atrocious.

Great comparison. You can see the difference quite clearly.

Seems to be a design limitation to make it possible to switch to all custom rims on all the cars. If you look at something that was obviously modeled fresh for F4, like the Zonda Cinque, even those wheels are the same on all four corners (too deep for the fronts, not deep enough for the rears).

 

[DEADEVIL]

Picked up preorder yesterday..My God..heaven.

Played with the Micrsoft wireless and a few races with Kinect. About to purchase the speed wheel for some split screen co-op action.

Life is good.

I did a bit of work after the update and haven't noticed any issues yet *knock on wood*

Posted this in the photo section as well in hopes to see if anyone else has this issue.

When I open an image that I saved off my storefront in photoshop there seems to be a bunch of compression. Yet when I open it in any other program such as "preview" (im on a mac), the compression doesn't seem nearly as bad. Same goes for when I upload the picture, not nearly as much compression as what photoshop is showing. Anyone know what would cause this. I've messed with the color profiles some but that doesn't seem to affect the compression.

What happens when you copy/paste from Preview into Photoshop?

That does actually make it a bit better but there is still more compression than viewing it on preview.

Hmmm. Just been alerted to the fact people who have already applied can't rejoin the club.

Can anyone try and let me know, if so I'll have to add you manualy, plenty of open spots.

I'd love a spot if available. I tried to join again last night and of course it said I'd already sent a request. GT: Les Doodis

Got a 16,000 CR daily bonus last night. Yeah!!


Racing another car with traffic is annoying at times, but the passing car challenge is so much fun.

2 heat races on Hockenhiem is brutal. Especially when it's against that son of a mother, M Rossi. Guy thinks I ran over his son or something.

I think I'm going to change my mind on Hockenhiem......the scenery isn't anything to brag about....but the course can be a blast because it actually is quite technical. And at dusk, omg, it's gorgeous.

I didn't get any of those bonuses all weekend and finally got one last night. And then I got the Cheevo for 5 unique days of getting the bonus. LOL

And I LOOOVVEE the traffic challenges. I would kill to have an 1vs1 Multiplayer option with traffic. Could have some epic battles with friends down Kaido with that. I am assuming its an AI/Resources issue on why they can't do it.

I think this is the first thing we have disagreed on. I just cannot get into Hock. It is bland as hell, there are no good reference points for braking/turns and I find the track just terrible. It might be my fault, but I cannot find a "flow" for the track and as such, it feels so disjointed.

 

[acm2000]

so my copy of forza 4 arrived a day early thanks to shopto... tonight im gonna IBL

myself silly!

Well, I agree, there may not be much of a flow....because it's a multitude of hairpin turns after flatout straights. Unforgiving swoops, too, but i like it. Admittedly, i had to learn it with the suggested brake line on to find reference points, but it's all coming together nicely now.

im sorry im having trouble following the whole club saga. I applied way back but never got in. are there spots? can I please apply?

I still haven't received a bonus I don't think, where do I have to go to get it? I jump into the community tabs and click all over the place and never get the message for a bonus.

I really should do that. I always keep off the line and sort of "feel" my away around tracks. But maybe turning it on for new tracks would be a good idea to understand the best line. The only problem I have with that is that I stop really paying attention to the track and just watch the line. So I go from actively trying to feel and learn the track to just QTEs essentially.

Maybe alternating it on and off to see how I am learning and feeling the layout. What do you guys do to learn the different tracks?

 

[CrudeDiatribe]

Very strange. Which version of PS? I have CS3 at home, will try it tonight if you'd like.

Oh! Are you viewing the image at 100/50/25/12.5% or 66/33/16.7%? Photoshop always looks horrible at the latter, but frequently opens slightly too-big-for your screen images at 66%.

 

[sneaky77]

I just feel my way around them, may not be the most effective way, but I don't like using a racing line

All I did was boot up FM4 and the message popped up. Funny thing is, I never got any credit bonus for completing/importing FM3.

I think I'm going to change my mind on Hockenhiem......the scenery isn't anything to brag about....but the course can be a blast because it actually is quite technical. And at dusk, omg, it's gorgeous.

My only problem with Hockenhiem is that I never know when the turns are coming, and always go off track. I think there are only a couple turns with signs laid out indicating when the turn is about to come. I always play with no hud, but this is the only track that I need to turn the map on. Other than that, I agree. It can look very nice at dusk....and when that fool Rossi isn't nipping at your tail.

I've just added you.

Just search for GAF to join, if you have problems let me know here and I'll add you.

NVM, just got the PM, I'll check it when I get home from work!

Wow, that is amazing! I should make a cover for my Ikea chair ... not going to lie, was thinking of grabbing an extra pad and putting patches and stuff on it to make it look like a racing chair. That way I could switch back and forth without pissing off the girl.

[The Dutch Slayer]

Got the call just a few min ago, I can pick up the CE tomorrow at my local gamestore!

 

[skyfinch]

Damn, my message box is overflowing with alerts that someone has beat my rival time.

No worries, I only ran through most of them to get the achievement and to see the general layout of the event. Will try to win back some respect later on. Attempting to finish career first.

I have that problem with Indy. the course is so flat and basically without any markings along the course. the turns just jump at you.

I think I have beat you on a couple of them lol. Took me a few tries specially that Amalfi one with the traffic lol

 

[enzo_gt]

Thanks~

Well, it is in your GAF profile

 

[Big Takeover]

I can't get enough of this game; there's so much to do and see, and I've got all of 0.8% of the career completed. I would have progressed further, but Rivals mode keeps pulling me away. I love the neverending stream of competitors and bounties, and the XP and credit payouts are substantial if you stay out lapping for a while.

My favorite events are the LFA challenge at Infineon-- which is easily the best track in the game, it may not be much to look at but it's an absolute riot to drive-- and the Corvette C6.R at Road America. The 'Vette is a real monster that takes no prisoners and sounds like the end of the fucking world in the process. It's one of my favorite drives in the game thus far.

And speaking of rivals, Big Takeover, would it have killed you to not beat my laptime on the Suzuka Senna challenge so quickly? I mean, geez, I couldn't get within several seconds of your times on the demo, and when I finally manage to claim victory, you give me all of a matter of minutes to celebrate? Not cool, man.

Ahhh, the beauty of Rivals!

I was taking a few pictures when I got the notification that my Senna Challenge had been beaten. I checked to see who the culprit was, and was saddened and disappointed to see that it was you, Spiff, that sullied my name in front of GAF like that.

I had to do something about it right then and there!

Seriously though, it's great fun, and easily my favorite new feature. I'm excite for the rest of the world's Gaffers to start populating the boards now that it's out everywhere.

 

[The Stig]

Id like to mention I have actually been matched up to a couple of GAF club members already.

And beaten their times.

 

[LiK]

Well, it is in your GAF profile

Oh yea lol

 

[sneaky77]

nvm that didnt work.

 

[H3rTz DoNuT]

Once again, thank you guys for your feedback and appreciation, I really didn't expect that much attention and I'm really happy I'm getting some. Doesn't matter if it's on a track or homespace, I really hope you guys enjoy that Italia.

In a meantime, here is a little concept for the next design. As you can see My love with Lamborghini is still strong. Colors and sponsor might change, very unlikely but there is a possibility but the base paint will pretty much be the same as it is on the pictures. Looking forward to your thoughts and hope that there are people that will like it
