Great. That makes it a lot less risky to use them.

Also the challenges are the minimum. So if it says "braking line only" it means breaking line only or line off.

Similarly "normal steering" means you can use normal or simulation steering, just not the easier options like assisted steering.

So what’s the difference between good pass and perfect pass?

 

[drugstore_cowboy]

So what’s the difference between good pass and perfect pass?

No need to wipe after a perfect pass.

Nah, I think it's to do with the speed and distance you overtake an opponent.

 

[retroBrand]

...and if you've touched them or passes them before. It seems you only get one chance to earn the good or perfect pass.

 

[JackAubrey]

I believe someone said earlier in the thread a 40kph speed difference is required for a perfect pass.

What I've gathered about passes so far:

- Good Pass is passing regardless of distance, around 20km/h faster than the target car (so for instance you can get a Good Pass on a car that spins off the track)
- Perfect Pass is passing close, at least 40km/h faster than the target car
- If you've passed a car and fall behind it, passing again doesn't count (even if you didn't get a scored pass in the first place)
- You seem to have to be "clean" for about 3 seconds before the pass, so bumping and passing won't count, nor will cutting the track.

With the AI as it is getting Perfect passes is not easy. Perfect corners are a piece of piss on many tracks. But passes are a pain in the ass. I usually sell the Perfect Pass mods if I get them. The multiple perfect passes anyway. Good Passes aren't too bad though.
My favourite mod is either stay on track for the race (with the no driving line modifier) or cockpit only (I always drive cockpit only).

I have noticed that some of these mods don't actually work. I had one that forced on ABS. However I always have it off and when I did a race it was still off. But I got the reward afterwards anyway.

That's intentional, what the mods actually mean is more like "ABS on is the maximum braking assist". I race with all assists off so every assist mod is just like free money for me.

 

[#sorrynotsorry]

Speaking of the mod targets, how does one actually get a perfect corner? I can't figure it out. Even turned on full racing line and followed it perfectly but got nothing.

 

[SolarMystic]

Just got my Thrustmaster TMX Pro hooked up. Feels like the first time I played Forza many years ago, I'm awful!

What is everyone's wheel settings?

I believe its a combination of gear / line and speed

What are you playing with? I get 2-3 per race with a controller and gears on automatic.

I've found the game seems to like it when you aren't on the brakes or the gas the whole time but kind of feather the brakes, move the car without accelerating or braking and then power out of the corner in one sweeping movement.

Got my Zonda Cinque!

Don't make them so expensive next time, Jesus!

Oh you meant right then. I was at work.

 

[Tomash]

Zonda is a "Legendary" car. There are 6(8) Legendary cars currently unavailable, they will cost between 650K and 1,5M credits.

Regera, Huayra, 250LM, One-77, Lykan, Reventon

Bugatti Super Sport and Lotus Eleven are RNG Milestone rewards. They're not free and they will cost you about 1.1M credits each when they appear as a milestone reward.

 

[Cerbero]

to be fair in the real world Pagani only made five of those, that's why it's called Cinque, it means five in italian.

 

[retroBrand]

But isn't the point of the game to be able to drive things we can't afford in real life?

 

[frontieruk]

Oh you meant right then. I was at work.

Always with an excuse

Didn't miss much the servers were flakey

 

[drugstore_cowboy]

Oh I don't have an issue with the price just when they set a timeframe, a week sounds like ages but I might get 2 hours in that for Forza

 

[Catphish]

Loving F7 so far, after a few hours.

I do so wish it had VR support.

I have a Rift and a G29. If I could use them together for this game, it would be the Trifecta.

Please make it so.

 

[Castaway]

You might have followed the line perfectly, but not at the perfect speed. It's within 90% of the max speed your car could navigate a given apex, given its current setup - that is the target for "perfect"

Been a while since I played a motorsport game. Loving it so far but Having trouble with so many cars understeering.
Does anyone know what the best thing to tune or upgrade to correct understeer?

Thanks.

Suzuka is fantastic!

Given that you are having the problem with multiple cars, it very well may be the way your are driving. Ensure you aren't hitting turns with too much speed and unable to make the turn. Additionally, weight transfer under braking (which loads the front tires) and a smooth transition to turning are essential to getting good turn in.

The drs is even stuck open like Hulkenberg had at the Suzuka race.

 

[skyfinch]

Awesome thanks!!

So, been playing for a few hours then stopped. Tried again and get this -
What the fuck!?
Logged out and then back into the store and no good. But resetting the app worked. And I know this sounds like a broken record but, what a shower of shit!

Edit: And now it stuttered to a stop and crashed. Seriously trying my patience. If things don't improve I'm never touching this series again.

What do you mean resetting the app? I cant get the game to launch, just get the same error.

Error code is "Forza Motorsport 7 is currently not available in your account. Here's the error code, in case you need it: 0x803F8001"

 

[Slackbladder]

If you go to Apps in Windows settings and find Forza 7 click on Advanced options and reset the game. You'll need to re-download any pre-order bonus stuff etc as it deletes it. Doing this has fixed my game twice now.

 

[jello44]

I gotta get to playing some more, so I can get that damn F1 Renault.

Spoiler

And throw a Ferrari Livery on it.

I put other team liveries on the fm6 lotus, but I'll go in and make a Renault pink aerocat livery.

Reset F7, FH3, Xbox App and MS Store apps, still can't launch F7 and FH3 but can launch other windows store games. Lame.

 

[EBreda]

I miss Sunday afternoon GaF races...
Maybe ?

Been there, done that.

 

[SomewhatGroovy]

I need to make some easy credits.

Does increasing the laps to a race in free play net me more credits?

Any other suggestions?

Yeah, that and mods.

Running longest races almost every time now. So many good car/track/division combos it's almost a shame to blitz through them.

Let us know what you think of the wheel as I may get one.

Something unsanctioned will happen and the league is close to being announced. First race is going to be Formula E on Bathurst!

 

[KdotIX]

Did I read right? Aren’t there Gaf racing happening today and tomorrow at around 7pm?

 

[xrnzaaas]

Don't know if this was already posted but the Camaro SS was sent out as a gift car for the Rivals event participation. Got mine.

Thanks! I've only had a few hours with the wheel. So far it is a blast and ups the realism considerably. Downside is I now suck at this game, haha. I think I'm slowly improving though.

Any wheel users able to comment on how long it took you to get your lap times up to where you were before the wheel?

 

[MrCookiepants]

Stutter in the PC version has been all but eradicated. Still get a little on the progress screen but the overall experience is so much smoother.

I kinda hate that everything is a 6 race championship. I don't wanna do 6 races to feel like I accomplished something. The campaign is pretty lazy and terribly paced tbh.

Dialling in your ffb will definitely improve your enjoyment of the game. One person's settings isn't for everyone but turning off centre spring is where you should start.

Fall Creators Update?

I've heard some reports it's not playing nicely with FM7.

It's been fine for me. The game runs great.

 

[Deaf Spacker]

Been playing for most of the day after buying it yesterday and I'm enjoying it so far.

I'm a VIP but I'm fairly sure that a few gift cars are missing such as the NSX?

 

[Q--_-]

Picked this up yesterday to have it to cmpare to GT sport and wowza, I can't decide which I like more. Prolly Forza is the winner just because of content. I CANNOT wait until I get my XOX cause of this game. Man. So pretty.

 

[LoveCake]

I have just unlocked the Renault F1 but have deferred it it's CR-1,400,000 and I only have C-2,400,000 in the bank I am leveling up quote fast but the prize money isn't that forthcoming I an doing the long races and using the mods, I am about three quarters the way through the third championship, level 90 and car reward 11 1/2.
