Just got 3 cars in a row with wheelspins. Hell yes!
Makes up for that 3'000 credits I got earlier
I was getting sub 5,000 spins probably about 40% of the time until I got that spin bonus perk. I was pretty pissed off about that.

IT'S INSTALLING. IT'S INSTALLING.
OH MY GOD. Won't be able to play until late tonight though due to some friends popping over a little later.
Still, IT'S INSTALLING.

LOVE This game but there are a few things I really wish they would change:
-Rear view mirror for third person and hood cam, bumper views. This is in Forza 5.
-Cinematic/directed replay camera. The current camera's are terrible. i hate the ones that are fixed on the car. I loved watching my replays in previous Forza games and just kicking back, but I can't do that here
-Disable user livery on drivatars. Again, this is in Forza 5. Many of the liveries just make those super high end cars look cheap.
-Access Garage/tuning from anywhere. It sucks having to go back to the garage to upgrade.

Hey Helios... So the game is amazing, no doubt here.
However, the QA guy in me cannot resist the temptation to list a couple of pet peeves of mine I wish would change/be fixed for FM6 next year or Horizon 3 in 2 years.
FH3:
-More diversity for the radio stations. I get that you are going for the whole music festival thing but if you're not into electronic music the soundtrack kinda suck. I want some "real" rock/metal/classic rock etc.
-Add controller support for ANNA. I think it's a great feature but I don't want to shout at my TV. Something like Right-Stick click to open the menu or something like that would be great.
FM6:
-Bring back the endurance races.
Both games:
-Easier way to buy all the free cars we get through DLC. Scrolling from left to right in a list non stop for 20-30min really sucks!
-Wider view of the car in the screen where you pick the paint color. All those super close-up shots are really pretty and artsy but when I pick the car's color, I'd love to be able to actually see the car!
-Proximity arrows. Having an arrow telling you when you have a car near you can be really useful
-Like someone else suggested earlier. The ability to disable some of the camera view so that we can quickly switch between 2-3 of our favorite cameras would be awesome.
I think that's it for now lol... I'll add more if I think of anything else.
EDIT: Hahaha MrCompletely... Great mind thinks alike.

Totally agree on the drivatar liveries...they suck 95% of the time.

I think these should be optional if they were implemented. I like seeing other's cars how they have them.
I agree.

Both posts have things I really want.
-I would love cinematic camera for replays. Having to cycle through them is a pain in the ass. I like that as an option, but at least give an auto camera choice that gives you cool views on cinematic moments.
-Rock/Metal - Yes please!!
-Anna - Can you hear me now?!

Loving this game so far. I've barely done any races, I find myself just driving around aimlessly. Here's my first attempt at randomly throwing my car off-road and seeing what happens:

I honestly, cannot wait to just do this-is it time to go home yet?
Great feedback mate, can see you've done this before
Will pass it on to the team, some good points made with some nice justifications.

This is already in. When you're selecting a colour, press X and it'll go to the standard rotatable view, clicking RS gives you different stages of zoom.
Ray Wonder
Founder of the Wounded Tagless Children
Isn't that after you select your color?
It's actually in the screen after the one where you pick the color... The screen where you have to press A again to confirm that you really want to buy the car. X doesn't do anything on the screen where you actually pick the color.
Also, I guess the console doesn't support Japanese characters for Gamertags? lol
They really do need a Rock/Metal station. I mean, those bands play festivals!
For me, I just keep it on the classical station.

LOL, I have seen this exact same characteres today. Is this person on gaf?
According to the icon it's a playground employee.
Also, didn't get a screenshot in time but I just got another pop-up for sometime (didn't notice what type of score it was exactly) but I had "1" and the guy over had 999 999 and was just a long line of squares like that for his name.

That right, I forgot about that. But, you can pick the first colour, go to that screen, press X, then press B, and you can pick your colour with a rotatable camera.

Question for you guys: do you notice bad pop-up/pop-in in the game?
Either the LOD system is really aggressive or there's something wrong: distant shadows, trees, cars all noticeably "appear" while you're driving.
It really ruins the great IQ.
Maybe there's something wrong with my hdd (the game was bought digitally)?

One thing I noticed this morning (this was with my digital copy) was quite a bit of pop in, once on my BMW wheels where the edge of the rim popped in and once driving to the festival in the Lambo the first bend you go round the cliffs popped in, anyone else notice/had that?
I was thinking of leaving it open until this weekend, so that it'd be easy for everyone to join whenever he got the chance.
As long as it is somebody's friend who joined, and there is space, I guess there is no reason to panic, yet
That is the reason we have them lists though, so at whatever time we choose we can lock and clean and whatever
Is up on the dpad supposed to trigger photo model or was that just the one time they introduced it? Once you get the camera icon perk you often use photo mode, so it would be really helpful to have a direct button to bring it up. And as far as I can tell, up on the dpad isn't being used for anything else?

You have to hold it for a second or so.

When can you create a club? I tried last night but the clubs tab is grayed out.

Not trying to be rude but how can you judge a feature based on less than one week of play?
The VIP rewards are usually stretched out over a year if not more of the games life. There will be plenty of benifits to come, just give it a chance
in the past that's all the VIP was and it was well worth it. The instant bonus we are getting now with the wheel spins is just icing on the cake IMO.Car clubs are locked until you finish the 3rd championship and the showcase event. After that train race, you're given the option of joining/setting up a club. You can either add from the club of a friend (under "Friend's Clubs"), or you can search for the clan by the shorthand designation.

If taking suggestions...
How about adding in a camera change button to some of the other control options? It is missing for some reason.
Plenty of unused buttons on some of them, default 12 to be specific for me, and no button to change the camera which in this game is critical so you can change depending on terrain, activity or view preference
Also... regarding DLC cars... after doing some barn challenges and remembering how quickly that was over in fh1, how about some kind of mini game for finding dlc cars in the world?
I realize some people will just want them all dumped into the garage as quickly as possible every time but maybe there is a way?
Would like to extend the hunting in the open world challenge a bit.

I don't even have OCD, but every time I pause I have to scroll down all the Club messages to clear all the new ForzaGAF member notification. Seeing 9+ all the time is not acceptable.
I suffer from the same thing. lol. I can't let it go, I have to scroll over there and get rid of it.

When you get a barnfind, do you get to do a special race with it when you get in it?
Drive the wrong way on the freeway. You earn skill points pretty quick that way.

Any All Wheel Drive fast car will do. This is the easiest and best method

Nice, thanks!
Hope they don't patch this out by the time I get the game lol.

No...when you find it you get a little cutscene and then it goes to get repaired...after a while you get the notice to go pick it up from the garage to add to your collection
And here I was spending a ton of time dodging traffic on the highway.
Will go to the airstrip tonight. Thanks.
