I don't think those are LMs, I think they are 62' 250 GTO but without the three holes on the front. :D

BTW, I don't know if there is an English version of this book but it's really great. It has beautiful photos of the most iconic Ferraris in perfect condition (it's like they just got out of the factory) paired with lengthy descriptions (story, full specs, anecdotes, etc...).

If some of you want (and if it's ok with the rules), I could scan a couple of photos. :D

It's still bugging me, number 8 has 3 gills (64) but looks like a 62 at the front. The one above and to the right of that must be the 4 litre but to me just screams "I AM A 275LM!". To be fair though, I suspect the Moet guys got it right ;)

Love 60's Ferraris. I have the first image you posted in a book about GTOs that includes a lengthy and well written description of the driving experience, I'll have to see if I can dig it out.

That is the first time I have heard someone refer to the Veyron as beautiful or elegant. :D

How do you guys know half of these cars exist? I mostly just ignore the spy shots as I never have a clue. Do you guys just do random google searches for supercars or something??

Anyway, this pack is definitely on my radar for a purchase. Not sure how many cars I'll actually be able to buy in-game....but...

Hey Jube, any word on that idea to get credits/ free car with each car pack? :lol

This is the way you do DLC. Dump in a load of wacky, insane, crazy and downright awesome cars (and the ariel atom please :)
I just don't have any interest in variations of existing cars, newer models, etc. I couldn't give a damn if they added another Mclaren F1. :lol

And where is the robin reliant! We needed a reliant vs discovery hopper yesterday.

A few of these cars people recognize from Top Gear (a few of these have been talked about on Top Gear) or PGR. I'll have the car price list to post once all of the cars have been revealed.

Seeing pictures like these make sick when we're stuck with the bullshit compressed crap that can never look like any of these. If we were allowed to have shots like this, i'd rebuy this game. Just sad and annoying.

Not sure if you've tried stitching before Rocksteady (can't remember if you tried it I know Grom and Chrange have done a bunch) you can get great high quality shots from My Forza at that size from stitching.

A quick 4 image stitch with myforza takes me about 10 minutes after setting up my shot, 8 image stitches take me about 20 (not counting touch ups) w/ free slots in my SF. I remember Chrange made an insane one that was what like 20 feet? :lol

So compressed images for photomode is a game-breaker for you?

No wonder the online community kinda sucks. It seems very few people actually play this game because they like *racing*.

When your game is so focused on UGC, yeah, I'd say it's a game-breaker. Photo mode compression isn't only a photographer issue. It affects the painters because their liveries are poorly rendered, it affects Turn 10 because their game isn't shown as it should be (official shots show that lossless compressed high resolution makes the game look 10x better) and ultimately it doesn't affect sale as it should (photo mode should be free viral marketing for the game).

I enjoy both taking photos (must be at 450+ now) and racing (somewhere 60+ hours of driving). Thing is, I race offline. That's because I don't have to wait for matchmaking to find players, I don't get rapped by Audi because I drive a car which isn't a leaderboard car and I can choose exactly the type of race I want to do...

As for the two new spy shot, I don't have the slightest idea. At first I thought it was a Weismann or a Morgan for the second one but it doesn't match. :lol

On a side note, I improved my time on the TT but I know for a fact that I can take almost another second off (failed twice to improve by five tenth in two different sectors) it which would place me in the Top 100 last time I checked. :D
The top time on the leaderboard really is impressive. It also proves that the difference between a wheel and a controller is massive.

Edit : Didn't know the Devon GTX ! Looks good ! :D
The Spyker is... well it's a Spyker...:lol

Jube, do the new manufacturers in the DLC effect the "Buy a car from every manufacturer" achievement?

I'm only missing that one and Gold on all races for my 1000/1000.

It won't add to the achievement, also what cars are you missing for the achievement the Mclaren?

Stitching is cool but I just wish the default image was better quality, I would think one image at 150kb would be better then 4/8 at 100kb, but then most people don't stitch so they still save bandwidth.

I don't think we will ever get the ability to save images to usb pen either, turn10 will be digging into forza 4 now I bet and well f3 will not have anything else added :( apart from car packs because they make money.

I finally finished the 6th season ! Only 1 achievement to go and... 120 events !:lol
I think I've never been this rich in the game, I'm currently at 1,173,000 Cr. and my war chest may even get bigger as I could crack the Top 100 of the TT. ! :D
Now, all I need is some MS Points or a code for the DLC because I'm ready to spend some in-game credits !:lol

Time for some photos now :

Damn, G ROM, you take good photos. There was another member, funnybunny, I think his name was. He also took good photos.


Said I wasn't going to, but might drop the points on this DLC. Such a unique pack of cars.
Anyways, back to the hellish, satan spawn drift challenge. Last thing preventing me from completing the game. Lost 50% of my hair on this damn challenge. :lol

Didn't like the V8 Championship races. I don't mind a bit of oversteer but not with the weight of the V8 Championship cars.

The stock single make races were my favorite. especially the FXX one.

I know there have been stitching tutorials somewhere and i have photoshop CS4 so i know how to Photo-merge. But how have you been able to make such a large panorama? I'm having trouble with a simple 4x5...

Do you use any specific tutorial to guide you? I'm having a seriously hard time with my first.

If that wasn't enough... the Forzamotorsport.net download time is making me almost give up on it completely....

<_< Fix that shit.

So, I fired up a multiplayer game the other night.
Barreling down the main straight on Catalunya. I turned in for the first corner and flew off the road straight into the wall.

WTF?

Turns out Forza just randomly decided to start recognizing I have the fanatec set to 900 degrees! (At first I was a bit disappointed that it hadn't made much of a difference!)

So here I go, learning to drive yet again. :lol

I swear Forza helps you soooooo much with the gamepad and assists (obviously :). Zooming around Fujimi Kaido with the wheel and no assists is a lot of fun. You'd be practically throwing the wheel across the room if it wasn't tied down.

However, I will ask:
PLEASE PLEASE in the next patch turn the force feedback off during rewind, the thing goes mad with reverse feedback! I thought the MS wheel was bad. And PLEASE have the wheel reset to match the angle it is at the rewind point. I don't know how many times I've pressed 'Go' only to find I've got the wheel 360 degrees off from centre.

Wow top 100 nice! You should enter the official photocomps, top 3 get a feature on the turn 10 picks and you also get a car of your choice (2 for first). Great way to make credits or earn a really expensive car.

I don't use photomerge (don't think chrange did either), I just line em up by hand/arrow keys. Here's a video tutorial I made that may help. It's a 3 image stitch.

I think this happen last patch or something. Yeah, the 900 degree is where I set the Fanatec wheel now and it's awesome. My only problem is the shifter ... it's always get stuck going from 4th to 5th gear.

PS: Hey jube when is the next DLC so I can get my MS points ready for purchase.

Oh well. I guess I'll just finish it the old fashioned way, by hand, one-by-one.

Just bought an elite and this game came with it. I'm stunned at how good it is. I don't understand how some people can complain. Everything about it seems outstanding so far. BTW, I took some in game pics. How can I show them here?
