I love how friendly everyone is in the RWD games. I've had races where 2 or 3 people have sent me text messages right afterwards, it's really great. If it's a tight race and someone messes up, you almost always get a 'sorry' afterwards. It's fantastic

I know, very polite! I'm probably one of those guys ha!

add me, gt: das chew

definitely share that sentiment. I have sent a few post-race messages if there was a good duel or some good clean racing.

I even went so far as converting all my Subarus and my A class Talon to RWD just to run them in that hopper.

Awesome pics shape!

Man this nurb time trial is crazy hard, I still have not been able to hotlap a clean time either the first turn (trying to do it smoothly) or the Schumacher (i think thats what the turn is called) sends me in the dirt. argh. The top time is a million times faster than me, insane how much faster he is than me :lol

So does the new tracks get incorporated into the single player game at all? I really hope they do and looking forward to more tracks as DLC in the future...Alpine Ring Please??? or Rio.

I would love to see a fujimi kaido style reimagining of shipyard or tokyo.

Anyone up for some DLC racing tonight?
 
I was playing Virus Tag again tonight and managed to get to the end of a round without getting tagged, until an R8 came at me at 915 mph.

With default shutter speed, you can't even see my GT40. I was doing close to 90, so it was a 1000 mph hit to end the game! I had to save the replay to figure out what happened; I couldn't see it in real-time.

I have no idea how he bounced off a Lotus 2-Eleven at that speed...

Took some WIP pics of the Nurb GT time trial BMW. Just doing some last minute tweaks to it almost done. Just grabbed some quick ones on Mugello because I had the photo settings saved from it lol.


Sexy settings, a lot of sepia, I like that.

What are your settings? I want to see if I can mix them up with mine.

Here are the settings I used. most of my settings are just slight tweaks to these.

is the dlc incorporated into the sp campaign?

I asked this elsewhere, and apparently not (if you mean the new tracks).

I really hoped that this would change from Forza 2, but I guess the main focus on F3 is online (also explains the lack of cash given in SP mode)

Even though I'm still WAY off taking decent photos (I think it's due to me using a crap LCD TV) I've found that sepia goes a LONG way in reducing the cartoon-ness of the colour palette used on some tracks. Looks great when done right.

Week in review is up
http://forums.forzamotorsport.net/b...1/forza-motorsport-3-week-in-review-2-12.aspx

Really neat story worth reading through, one of the forza community tuning teams SloPoke had the opportunity to create a livery in forza that would be recreated in real life. The car is on the floor at the chicago auto show. So awesome.
original.aspx

Best part is that the tune and livery are both free and fantastic. :D

Also. crap. I just read the Week in Review and it seem that doing the Time Trial is going to be the only way to get that T10 BMW M5 livery...

Damn it, I'm going to end up picking up this DLC as well... :lol I hate you Jube.

About to do a shoot on Nurb GT, any suggestions on what car to use? Too many to choose from.

Edit: shots of trucks with negative camber and dubs son! :lol Was trying to get a nice shot for the Camber photo competition but wasn't working so I started taking different shots.




Gaf: Photographers I took a bunch of pictures last night of a Mercedes CLK55 I tried to make it look like it does in the brochures, Im gonna mock a brochure together for fun (Im really bored today lol). It should be fun if anyone wants to get in on this just take some shots and post em/gift them to me.

Turn10 should let us choose how many spots of each item time we can have in our Storefront.

Eg, have a total of 50 slots, and you can choose how many slots for each item. I'd love to have more than 18 photos and don't care about the other storefront stuff.

Edit: Great shots, Jube, I especially like the first Range Rover/Silverstone one. There's are using a capture card, right? Ones you sent me the other day looked a bit too saturated, likewise that vid of Nurb you posted the other day, have you managed to get it sorted so colours are looking a bit better or have you had to adjust the photos in FM3.
 
Just downloaded the Nurburgring GP pack, ran some laps on the full circuit, and man is it bumpy as hell. The balance of the car can really get upset in some corners and you better not be overzealous with the gas pedal.

I love the challenge of it, though. Makes me wish they could go back and redo the Nordschleife with this kind of surface irregularity.

Also, is it just me or is the GP track somewhat jaggier than the others? I mean, it's a fantastic looking venue and they've recreated some fantastic trackside ambiance with the crowd, banners and chopper, but the aliasing was the first thing that stood out to me.

Thanks man yea im using the Intensity Pro. I believe Chrange and G ram use that one as well. For the video I haven't figured out, for the photos I haven't had to adjust levels or colors on any. The ones I have done are usually just to get a different look (like the nurb yellow w/ noise). The video I have not figured out yet, the capture itself looks pretty good and crisp but when I compress it it looks a little blurry and saturated (not to mention some ghosting).

I took these last night for the brochure shots. I haven't touched the levels/curve/colors on these yet. Last shots from me on this page I feel like im posting too many pics lol. Edit: forgot to add the big links

yeah, this dlc track is just awesome. they did a great job on it. hugely looking forward to more (monte carlo! spa! .... croatia rally!).

Holy shit jube I think those are some of the best photos I seen yet, perfect balance of light and realism.

F3 is serious wheel porn

Thanks man! yea the wheels and lights in this game are pretty awesome (the R8 wheels are my favorite stock wheels atm but some of the ferrari ones are awesome as well). The Minicooper and the BMW you can just zoom in at 20x and it looks awesome.

thanks for the answer. that's a bummer though. I'm intimidated by this game's online community....i like playing FM3 very casually. it has actually become my go-to podcast game.
 
Jube3 said:
No I wish haha, they showed the cover in the X10 thread and im gonna try to make a car out of that.

OK cool! Look forward to seeing the paint job, nice latest photos by the way, keep them coming, makes me want to play the game even more, just as soon as i get my xbox back from repair.

Nice pics guys,hey is this game still worth getting into from square one? I really liked the second forza but held off on this one.Is the community still healthy? I sold my wheel last year for the 360 so is it worth it to play with a controller?What do you guys think?

it's forza, you've played it. if you liked 2 you will likely like this one. there's plenty of people to play with online, whether or not you'll actually like them, just like mw2 or anything else, can vary.

I play mostly on my controller because of how much of a pain my wheel setup was (wierd area) and It works well. Its not as immersive but you can still be competitive. If you enjoyed forza 2 then ya pick it up. The storefront adds a ton if are not a painter/tuner etc.
 
Just got my Xbox back from repair centre, just in time to register a time on the Nurburgring TT for the two DLC gift cars! Downloading the track now, should be awesome!

When i put the disc in the console, and tried to play from hard drive, it said this game can only be played on the original xbox on which it was installed. So i had to delete Forza Disc 1 and reinstall. I was concerned it was going to delete the whole game, but it didnt, all my cars, designs, etc are still there.
:D
 
Hmm, thats strange, the Nurburgring TT has closed! It says on the website:
Ends: 2/16 @ 12PM PST. By my timings thats not for another 10hours?

I've posted a time on the standard circuit, i'll message someone at T10 and hopefully pick up the gift cars that way, but it shouldnt be closed already.

On the track itself, it is bumpy for sure, i think its a good thing. But there are quite a lot of jaggies on this track, must be something to do with the high contrast and the permanent white line on the edge of the track which does it... Still good track and well worth the purchase.

Nurburgring TT is closed, homeslice. I only just found out about it when you posted, too :(
Can anyone point me in the direction of where it was announced? I can't remember seeing anything in this thread at all about it :(
