There is. Bottom right of the screen.
A letter to the Forza community from Alan Hartman, Head of Turn 10 Studios:
https://www.forzamotorsport.net/en-us/news/FM7_Launch_Update
Thank you for all your feedback to date, please keep it coming. We'll continue to keep you all apprised of all the future updates we plan to make to the game.
Note - The original article if you read it said one of the gift cars was the 2017 Acura NSX Forza Edition, this was an error and it's actually the 2010 Maserati Gran Turismo S Forza Edition. The article has since been correct.
Further Edit - We've now sent all VIPs the 2017 Acura NSX Forza Edition as well
Hey Helios, can you confirm that if I were to buy the VIP today, that I would be eligible for the rewards as well?
In all honesty it took me a while until I notice that.
Forzavista also had a massive downgrade IMO. Very limited this time, specially with the space boundaries before each race. Not a very flexible feature.

I want to know this as well.
Same here. I am well above recommended specs. I just finished playing for three hours straight with minimal issue. It was perfect, but I'd say that it was more than acceptable.
Thanks for this. My problem was trying to navigate menus on my PC with a mouse and keyboard.
I am getting a really awful screen shake on Nordischleife with the hood view on a vanilla alpha xbone even with camera motion effects off. Bumper and chase cams seem perfectly smooth, cockpit and dash cam just shakes the interior but the hood cam shakes the entire outside world and so far I have only noticed on this track. I just checked FM6 to compare and looking closely it appears to do the same thing but it is far less pronounced so it never really bothered me in FM6.
Hood view is my go to and Nordischleife is what I live on so this is bumming me out.
It's kind of hard to capture and is better viewed on a TV.

Here's hoping this isn't an issue on the Scorpio.

I don't understand the complaining about the lack of bonuses for assists. The AI difficulty gives the bonus now. What's the problem? With all assists off in FM6 the most you could get is 75%. In FM7 pro difficulty will give you 80% and unbeatable will up that to 100%. So you aren't getting a pat on the back for turning off traction control, big deal. Raise the difficulty and you achieve the same bonus.
I had come to the same realization when I started to play, and looked at the actual numbers. I legitimately think that's one of the complaints that's more from people who want a point of contention for a talking point (or haven't thought it though and are being reactionary) more than something that truly changes the play experience for the worse. I don't normally like assuming this sort of thing just from posts online.

Yep, that's what I've been saying.
Those same bonuses were in mod packs in FM6. You don't need to "buy" them because you are already getting the bonus % from difficulty.
Asking again-
Is there a way to turn your headlights on? I just did another daytime race where I went through a long tunnel and it was almost pitch black. The weird thing is the tunnel had a texture on the ceiling with lights on it, but the roadway itself was completely dark.
What determines when your headlights are on, anyways? I've run some pretty dark races where it looked like the rear lights were on for all racers but there were no headlights.

No you can't turn the light manually.

Just discovered that not all Forzavista locations are in a pit lane. Just took this shot.

Is that from a showcase event or your own race?
I don't know if this is related, but on Forza Horizon 3 on PC, when I played at either 21:9 or 16:10, I'd get a line of distorted pixels at the far right edge of the screen (which I feared was a sign of a damaged video card). It turned out to be a glitch with the game renderer. The workaround/solution was to have MSAA at either 8X or fully turned off, and everything would display normally. 2X-6X would show the distortion.
I actually found the info on an Nvidia message board. I thought I was going crazy. That issue is still present in the current build, AFAIK. Is this anything along those lines?
huh, I am running 21:9 and 2x MSAA. I will test that out when I get home. Thanks.

My own car. In one of the open championships in the career.
Fingers crossed
You don't get it.
I could choose which assist bonus I could use, it wasn't based on a random drop, it was something I could pick.
They are now locked away behind a prize crate, you can't get an assist bonus without buying a prize crate.
They've taken the option away and funnelled it through a slot machine.

Nice, I'll have to have a look at some tracks and see which ones have it.
To clarify, the percentage of bonus credits you get related to AI difficulty in FM7 is higher than the combined maximum difficulty+assist options in FM6, unless I'm totally mistaken here. They rolled the settings bonuses together into difficulty, and then you can add bonuses on top of that via mods.
You're missing the point, it's not about the reward, it's about moving something I used to have a choice about behind an RNG crate.
People say, don't like loot crates, don't buy them, well, that doesn't really fly when they move an option that used to be up to me behind such a system.
You have the option for the old bonus (and then some) via the ai difficulty. It's rewarding the challenge setting.
You're criticizing that you can't get the credit bonus without interacting with the prize boxes. I've pointed out in absolute terms that you don't need to do that. It's ok that you're annoyed by the randomized prize structure of some stuff in the game, but it's bleeding out into other criticisms to a point where it's irrational. The loot crate is a non-sequitur to the subject of your statment.

I watched the inside sim racing review in process and they spoke about the terrible ai, i'm glad peopel are talking more about how drone and on rails the ai is, ruins the experiance for me.
Moving different assists to the card system is bad, it's taking what was there for 6 motorsport games and shoving it into their loot box system, I don't care if using hard AI means I get the same if not a little more payout, they still took it away. Just like the Subaru 22B being a crate car now (I think that's right someone mentioned it the other day) along with some other cars.

The AI are not other racers on the track. At this point, they're just moving obstacles.
Lesser AI simply go slower than harder AI. That's it. They don't brake too early, or blow an entrance to a turn, or under steer though a turn, or miss the apex... They make zero of the mistakes that a less capable driver should make.

I hope T10 expand to rallycross or something. They have buggies and classic rally cars, but they're shit on tracks.
I'm doing a rally heroes campaign series and it fucking sucks. Sure, why not throw a Stratos on the god awful Abu Dhabi track.

Common dude, make up your mind. If it's not about reward then why are you complaining? You have the option to turn on/off all the assists in the game in the assists section, no need for a box to do that.
If you care about the reward then change the difficulty as high as you want and get some mods and you will get the reward.
The new system is way better, now you have to learn to be fast to beat AI on higher difficulty levels, before you could play on lowest difficulty getting credits for assists.
You know that games and options in them change, what was once is no more.
Modpacks are dirt cheap you can get a pack for 20k and you can make over 100k per race. You spend some to get some more and more.

Bought my first loot box, the highest at 300k. Got an Austria suit, some badge icon thing, a mod, and a Chevy Camaro that costs $130k.
Wow...I really feel like doing this more.

Yeah, it's just complaining for the sake of complaining, rather than being genuinely concerned for the way these mechanics are increasingly finding their way into triple A titles.

Since applying the patch I've had zero crashes in my 2 races so far(40 laps and 30 laps) so hopefully it's fixed now.

Yeah I spent all my credits on boxes as I can get free or super cheap cars as a Driver Level reward. I got plenty of super rare and Legendary cars and suits from the boxes.

They are not being rolled together, the extra rewards for driving without assists still exist, you now have to gamble to get them. It would be nice to be able to get them without having to gamble on loot boxes.
And now Forza is the only racing game I know of with friggen loot boxes. Congratulations I guess.
Forza now rewards players for buying loot boxes to get mods to get more loot boxes to get mods to get more loot boxes X infinity.
But hey, don't let me stop y'all from getting your hit every time you try your luck.
I wish people in this thread would get what you mean - but it seems they do not. To try and make it more clear
Note: These are Fake numbers as i'm at work, but to illustrate Gestault's point that people seem to be ignoring in their responses:
F6 - TCM off 10% + STM off 10% + Sim damage 10% +AI at pro 30 % = 60% total bonus
F7 - AI at Pro - 60% = 60% total Bonus [without mod packs!]
So - F7 offers what boils down to the same payout JUST picking difficulty setting. Then ... you can also pick and choose mods for extra bonuses. just like before...
I bought VIP an hour ago and the credit and cars didn't trigger until after I had been playing the game for a couple races then I got a message that I got them.
Also does the new VIP automatically apply the double credits? I still have these mod cards for 100% extra credits but they are limited use.

This is true. But then Mods need to be bought and cars are more expensive. However they tend to come with some parts so they meet homologation rules. To be honest it's not worth worrying about anymore. The fact is it was a change that wasn't required and has only been done to accommodate the loot box system. You may be slightly better off but people don't like gameplay systems being altered for the benefit of (maybe) getting more $ from them. It's like an assumption Turn 10 have made about their players and fans that yeah, thanks for buying the game any chance you'll give us more money? People don't like feeling like they're just a mark, that they're an open wallet, even if it turns out they're a bit better off in the game. The feeling is still there. However as of right now this isn't really an issue. Maybe when you are able to buy the boxes with cash will it be one. I personally don't mind. But i wonder if others will.
