These threads should be merged, honestly. One thread keeps Forza discussion focused, plus so much stuff goes unnoticed in the other thread.

Yea I agree. The only thing would be the pictures would have to be smaller (like flickr medium size) instead of posted full size. Gram and funnybunny post at that size so it still looks really good. I posted this in the livery thread as well.

Got 3 drifters in my stream having some fun. If anyone here wants to join in on them while they drift just send me a message. Trying to get the right settings down for my connection etc so it might be a little choppy for some.

It's just $5. Hell, I've got $50 in MS points in my account that I only paid $40 for. So I'm really getting it for just $4. I'm definitely buying it. I love getting extra tracks. :D

For you it's 5$, for me it's 5€. Too much in my opinion.

And Jube, are your cars still up? I really loved that Okamiden one, but wasn't sure if I was seeing a dupe during the search last night. Would be thrilled if ya could hook up a bro!

Most of mine are up but the Okami car was Modus'. They should still be up though, dont think he took them down. Search Okami and sort by downloads.

Wow. How much time do you spend tinkering with the settings to achieve these kind of shots?

I dunno when it clicks about 15 minutes per track, once I have the settings I just take a lot of photos. With those settings before I retweak. Sometimes you go take pictures and dont get anything cool :(

Ah yes, sorry. Yours were the JSR ones, right? Did you get round to doing Garam yet? Man, I'll buy it at a high price. I'll be sure to visit the livery thread again tonight for some search ideas =)

I love how the mount for the steering wheel is so prominent in the entire video. :lol

Also, someone should have told him that Forza 3 doesn't have sixaxis control.

Will Turn10 bring back web Leaderboard Filters like we had in FM2?

Not sure if filter is the right word.

If we have a top 50 time with an AWD car on sebring.

We want to be able to see lap times on this track with RWD cars (others may want FWD)

Might want to see who has the fastest Chrysler Barracuda B Class RWD on sebring.

We had this in FM2, not sure why it was left out for FM3.

Yea Che posted about that a couple of weeks ago.

Can't confirm that they will happen. We've done a lot of work on them but with hundreds of millions of score entries, optimizing the use of filters on the web is a challenge. We'll see.

Alot of hot lappers/garages/tuners/online racers are hoping they bring that feature back.

Like I said before it was available in FM2.

If they try I'm sure they can apply it to FM3.

C'mon Turn10 you can do it! :D

I'm really having a blast in career mode clearing out the vehicle/manufacturer specific races. There's some fast cars that could compete with other leaderboard cars.

I think a tuned mugen integra could compete in D class with the celicas.. at least on short/medium tracks. Got about 2 seconds off a top leaderboard time in an untuned d328 mugen integra. Can't remember the track right now though...

Awesome shots, Jube! I went on a mad rating/spending spree on yours and M0dus' storefronts last night. You guys are frickin' talented, that's for true.

Here are some better shots of my WIP on the Katamari Damashii design. I plan to finish the whole layout using the Civic, then upload the vinyls later.

The shots aren't that well planned out, and the quality isn't great, but at least it's better than simply snapping in the Matrix garage. I'd appreciate any feedback!

To Jube3 by request - pics of my Forza 3 rig.

Server rack ... 5 xbox's, a gigabit switch, 1 power conditioner/surge protector and a ups/surge protector with my gaming pc at the bottom.

Obutto cockpit, Fanatec Turbo S 911 wheel, Clubsport pedals, SST lightning shifter and compatibility circuit sitting below in all its naked glory. It *is* cluttered, but the mirror in the back there makes it look even worse.

Closer pics of the screens and the modded SST lightning shifter + the compatibility circuit.

So what's the lighting like in this track? Is it similar to any others?

Seems to have a bit more 'pop' than any of the other tracks, judging by your pics, Jube.

It definitely pops, its lighting is probably my favorite so far of all of the tracks. The grass colors are similar to Iberians baseball like infield if that makes sense. Without the mountains so you see a lot of the sky and Nurburgring forest on the other side of the track.

It defiantly seems to have some very lush greens.

Very interested now they have track DLC to see how/if they can work it into the online playlists.

Uploading my first attempt at an HD video in a sec here. The replay shots for this course are really great. Tv Presentation lots of wide shots that show all the cars go through a turn and lots of long shots down the straights. Should be up in like 30, im no blimblim though so I dunno if the settings will be correct :lol

Does DLC have events added in or is it just a new track? Also do I need an Xbox live account to get DLC?
Click to expand...

Didn't see any events added so don't think so, you can quick race vs the CPU and do the hot laps but the leaderboards aren't up for it yet.

Replay is up but its choppy on Youtube HD. Not sure why its not perfect on my end (saturated and stuff) but it runs fine. Gotta play with the settings more, could also be my browser too i dunno.

"Coinciding with the day our DLC releases but completely independent of the fact, is a short Forza Motorsport 3 server outage, next Tuesday, 2/9, starting 7 AM and ending 10 AM PST. Our IT group here is doing some backend work to fortify our plumbing here to better sustain the growth in traffic we’ve had since Forza Motorsport 3 launched worldwide."

That's today, starting in about 2 hours and 40 minutes from the time of this post. As the Blog said, expected down time, which is only for backend work on the server side, will be approximately three hours.

Saw this on FM.net, I had forgotten about the downtime. Heads up

That is some well fed/watered green grass, awesome.

I will get around to buying the track once I get into the forza groove again, playing single player lately means I will never see this layout and my other racing time is with GT Racing on my touch :p

I wonder if they're altering photo compression...
Click to expand...
Isn't that due to how the game code compresses it, not the servers? a title update would be required.
