I have a hard time getting through R2 race (season 5 carreer?). Any tips Gaf racers?
I also find Fanatec gas pedal to be too responsive, any quick fix to make it stiffer (aside from taking it apart and replaced the spring).
May be I will go for that upgrade pedals set...

That knob isn't for adjusting the travel / stiffness... it's for adjusting the vibration feedback on the pedal. :lollord pie said:
You adjust the rest using the spring tensioners.
Should be something on it in here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=54iQktxDQOM&feature=player_embedded

ClubSport are ok, accelerator pedal is rubbish, far too soft.
Brake late. It can take a bit of adjusting in terms of how late you can actually wait til stomping down.antiquegamer said:
Steering is also very quick, so late braking and late turn-in.
Be brave through fast corners. The cornering speeds you can carry get pretty impressive.
Throttle control is my biggest problem at this level. I lose more time due to mistakes in this area than I do anywhere else. If you use traction control, its probably not much of an issue, but without it, you really have to learn to be patient. You cant put a lot of throttle down at first, but they very quickly get to a speed where you can just floor it, so you need to learn where these points are.

I think I used the FXX for R2 races, much easier.

That car is a beast, not many cars can match it in R2.drugstore_cowboy said:
I think I have pin pointed why the single player is so boring, after racing four 7 lap races to clear the 700hp cup I come to realise that the last 40 minutes spent doing that was only about 1 in 200 cups complete, there are too many races that I did not do when using the calender, it's a bit too much.
I am racing these on easy/normal too because the last thing I want to do is not come first and have to race it again, the last and only achievement I need before I am 1000/1000 is that all gold one, most boring achievement ever made I think.
Next time please change it to "race in all races" instead of "all gold in races" then I can play with the settings I want without fear of having to re-race when I mess up.
I don't use a wheel yet, so maybe it is the throttle response on your kit, but here is what I have:antiquegamer said:
I don't use any assists except for suggested brake line (it's either that or rewind a lot when learning a new car in a track I haven't played in a while), so I will advise against pressing the brakes hard. One thing I noticed is that for way too many corners, the suggested drive line goes red when it should be yellow with R2 and R1 cars. When you go back to the throttle, don't ever press it hard, as you already noticed the cars are very tail happy.
The best tip I can give (other than knowing the car and knowing when to floor it) is to wait until you are at a reasonable RPM point and drive in a straight line (if only for a moment until you correct your line) before you finally start pressing the throttle hard. Once the car has enough forward momentum you can bravely drive out of a corner at full throttle.
I don't know if you have this habit, but I know a lot of people do because of regular driving lessons. Regularly, gears are for accelerating and you can easily drop 2 gears with some cars when slowing down. With these cars, don't skip gears. Down shift as soon as possible as the cars don't accelerate forward at a low RPM, they accelerate sideways. I read about this habit in a book by Sir Jackie Stewart, and I have to say that with other cars I agree (that you can skip gears). With these, try to have your RPM as high as possible. After knowing a certain R# car it becomes considerably easier. It's a very different driving style where you are supposed to nearly always be at maximum revs.

I like them, maybe I am a bit of a whore for them but I like to earn them where possible, without it I would probably play the game for 5 minutes in photo mode and then turn it off now that I have done the 6 year carear and raced online for a long timeSeanspeed said:
It's also the last one I need to 1000 the game, would be nice to finally earn it by 2012
When I lost my old gamertag and made a new one a few years ago I replayed forza 2 all the way through again but this time did not earn the 1mil online achievement, it was good fun. Doubt I would have ever done that again without the achievements to push me along.
The car looks so much better without the front bumper. Ruined itWazzim said:
I like the Initial D one
Is there even a point of adding body kits/spoilers to your cars? They seem to ruin the performance on EVERY CAR I've tried it on so far. It degrades the stats on my NSX for example. Haven't got any super quick cars yet though. I'm level 14 at the moment. I think the latest car I got was the NSX-R GT.

The PGR4 website was so much better for getting my photos and stats fast. Hope Turn10 fix it.TheOddOne said:

I miss my FM3 save
I know the pain. :lol
Exact same way I deleted mine....with a usb pen. :lol Wouldn't be so bad with all my other games, but over 120 hours makes FM3 the most time I've invest in a video game ever.
PM sent, Jube. Thanks.

R2 class cars are by far the toughest to drive for me(No assists besides ABS and Manual)
I wondered why the R1's were easier then I realized the R1's have massive amounts of aero grip which R2 doesn't have.

Odd, mine seemed to change the strength of the vibration, but I think you're right... I think what's happening is that it's detecting 100% force at a different point (when I change the potentiometer) and thus vibrating harder, earlier.lord pie said:
Should have come with a manual. :lol
As for the vibration, it's not very good. You can actually see the motor moving if you turn the pedals upside down and press it. When I first got mine I thought that it was broken.
It wasn't, it was just crap. =/

Yeah, thorttle is my biggest problem (I have traction off). This was why I ask about how to make Fanatec pedals stiffer so I have less tendency to stomp on the gas and send my car into a spin.
Thanks, I will give your suggestion a try.

Not finished yet with my Knicks car waiting to see who we get in free agency this summer before I ad some details.

This game fucking sucks. Worst Physics in a "sim" racer I've ever seen. On what planet does an under-powered FWD car oversteer? Clearly the designers made this game so every car can fucking drift around corners like Project Gotham. I hope the team at T10 is throughly embarrassed by this crap.

Question: I deleted the last two DLC packs to get the connoisseur achievement, but I also downloaded the VIP bonuses tied to those two packs. Am I safe, or am I boned?

Some more shots via Chromatic9 @GTplanet
WOW at the first shot...
Have you gone back into the game since you deleted those car packs? You get a message that says "if you continue those cars will be removed" etc. Which custom cars did you lose, just the Lotus Evora T124?

Wait, those were deleted? Uh-oh. I'm gonna need all the custom cars that were handed out that were tied to the last two packs, the Lotus you mentioned and the ones in the supercar pack, and the Radical that was in my garage that was tied to the supercar pack.Jube3 said:

A nice Mass Effect livery.

The packs from the retail game (and any dlc) become available to everyone in the free play modes, but in the main single player career you need to buy them like normal.LQX said:

After a long break (thanks, SSF4), I started playing Forza again last night. And by playing, I mean spending hours in photo mode.
