That was good fun guys. Golf course +King/Infection = Gold
I almost forgot... can we take movies with this, or is it only regular photos and bigshots?
Any word on a patch to fix vibrations etc. (if it's even on the cards at all)?
Up the club member number! Unless it's a physical restriction thing, then... bugger.Got back in earlier tonight from EscapeTheGrid and just read up on the thread, it's great that the GAF car club is proving so popular and that you pretty much all seem to be really enjoying the game
Phew, what a week!

God damn, those Golf Course King and Infection matches were SO. GOOD.
The Golf Course arena is brilliant.

Yeah I highly recommend a wireless mic for use with the wheel. Either that or maybe have people's voices play out over the speakers.

I don't think one is required, someone just needs to go through the current one and remove non-GAFers.

Is there one spot in particular where you can go flying like that?
Just head to the golf course. Lots of mounds there you can launch off of.

I do wish it was a little more open world like testdrive did, but this is still great

Some of you are crazy.
I've been working on what has to be the fastest speed zone. Got up to 212mph, thinking that might just be enough to pull off 1st. Nope! Came in second with first getting up to 260mph. Don't remember who it was. Hard enough to control at 212.
I will beat you (whoever you are)!

Amazing colours in that, dude. Can I ask what settings you have?I do wish it was a little more open world like testdrive did, but this is still great

The default settings, early morning (I think). Took it a few day's ago in the large format and didn't release they get deleted after 24 hours
Glad I had the lower quality uploaded as well.Spent awhile trying on that one also. Last I saw the highest was 438kph and I can't get past 436. So annoying.

Hey guys, would anyone be interested in this? Not sure if there is a demand for Travis Pastrana Subaru. I put some work in it already and the whole blue base is in metallic to make it look like the original car.
If you guys want it just let me know and I'll finish it

So, uhh... yeah. The Koenigsegg CCX-R.
I'm not sure if videogames can inspire mortal terror, but trying to v-max this thing on the highway with the sound cranked up is about as close as one has come to making me fear for my life.
Holy shit.

Hey guys, just a little tip, if you want to see all the paints in their best quality go to the Garage and there select change the car, now pick the car with the pain on it and select view the car, leave the default camera and enjoy Garage has the best lighting for that and there aren't any glitches like at paintshop.
I wish we could take pictures in the garage or the car club

Yeah it seems strange we can't do this, the cars look so good in these settings.

I'm not an expert but I think it shouldn't be too hard to add the photo option to the garage/car club as a patch or something, it works pretty much like the homespace in Forza 4.
Helios, any chance we might get that option in the future?

Where do i find that classic car left in a barn?
Had tons of fun with this last night, amazing game.
Just one thing bothers me, did they let an intern do the sound mixing/equalizing? One of the worst examples of this so far is the Mini showcase, it's like you and the AI are driving electric cars, all you could hear was the tires squealing.
I really hope they address this in an upcoming patch. As some of you have said it's almost impossible sometimes to listen to engine revs so you know when to shift, you end having to keep an eye on the rev counter which isn't great when you're driving on a road that's unfamiliar.
There's a faint white ball on the map that marks an area where you can find the barn.

Of course! The best way of showing you are the alpha racer is to go sideways across the line. Or if you REALLY want to brag, do a 180 and enter in reverse.
I was having some serious trouble with the wheel when I started and it felt off somehow. Everything clicked when I changed the range down to 720, dpr(dampening) to -1 or -2 and dri(drift mode) to 3 or 4. So much easier to catch slides now with simulation steering and thanks to the CSR elite's adjustable load cell brake it takes a lot of effort to get the brakes locked up so driving without ABS is no problem.
Bought a RUF Yellowbird too. I call it Blackbird now since I painted it black and tinted the windows black. That car is a handful when stock, lol. Had to buy some parts to make it actually possible to drive at high speeds, the car was undrivable at high speeds on the highway with the stock tires and suspension.
EDIT: I wish I could use this little thing that I got on Thursday with the Fanatec . I know there's a device you can buy to make it possible but that device costs as much as I paid for the shifter.

...without the ability to switch to awd, and with r20 being held for pre-reg, vw is kinda borked right now..
also,
T10/PG go ahead and DO THE PATCH FOR THE SOUND AND JOYPAD VIBRATION PLEASE!
a) when you are racing close to other cars, you can hear their engine but not yours. so raise the player's engine volume to 11
b) it is impossible that your "wheel" (the pad) rumbles more when an airplane passes in the sky above,
than when you are struggling at 250km/h in the dirt hitting rocks or in the tarmac jumping around at 300km/h. so fix that too!
already it has delayed, those things where marked from the first hour of the demo..
other than that, fantastic job!

Looks great!
If they stay £60 for a few more weeks I'm gonna go for it.
edit: ^^^ great, been waiting for the analysis.

Very good read. You should create a new thread mate..
I really wish they would hurry up and implement this in a TU. I don't want to finish the game having missed out on rumble effects and louder audio..

Noob question....how do I upload my Forza Horizon pics to GAF? Do I need a capture card or what?

Thanks! But I'm from Holland. Is there an option for EU-gaffers too?

Wow! some amazing stuff there..and this is Playground's first work on the 360, seriously I can't imagine what all these great teams that create such beautiful and advanced tech-wise games in these old ass systems will accomplish with the next gen hardware.
Next week I'm getting the game and will finally join this open world, free-roam awesomeness. ^_^
