Hot-damn I was tempted to pick up F3 after learning GT5 isn't the game for me.

My racing wheel damn exploded last night playing NFS:Hot Pursuit and finding a new replacement aint gonna be easy - at least not by retail.

I recently bought a blandtacular new Ford Focus but kinda wanna recreate it in F3!

Jube3, if you have another code for the Stig DLC, PM me, please. :D

It might just be enough to get back into Forza 3 after so much NFS Hot Pursuit. :D

I managed to snag 3 more codes, so I sent you, Kamkor and Shaneus a copy :D
 
Sorry if this has been asked 30 gazillion times already, but whats a good wheel to get for Forza 3? Couldn't really find anything by browsing through Amazon.

I'm looking for something that would work on a lap, or at worst on my coffee table in the living room. Don't have the money or space for a full-on setup.

I heard about a Fanatec wheel but couldn't find it. Same deal with the MS wheel.

GT5 isnt the game for me either, but the dualshock seemed to work great. The 360 controller in Forza 3 just isn't tuned well enough to make subtle curves and adjustments. Once you get past the dead zone on the stick even the slightest pressure pushes the car too much, so in replays my car looks like its being driven by a drunk - which is only true some of the time ;P

From what I've read, you're shit out of luck unless you want the $500 Fanatec wheel. The MS one has apparently been discontinued and the new official-ish wheel doesn't have any force feedback at all.
I'd just keep scouring eBay etc. for a second hand MS wheel... with any luck now that there's that other game available, people will be more likely to want to get rid of the 360 one in favour for new and shiny.

Fanatec just announced a new wheel but you can only buy their wheels from their website, maybe that's why you couldn't find it. The MS Wheel can be found used too.

Also, you're probably the first person that I heard saying that the DS3 is better than the Xbox 360 controller for racing game... :lol




BTW, nice photos Broman1978. You really got something for the tires though !:lol
I think I'll get back to Forza photos when I get the Jalopnik pack. I'll have the 1M Cr. waiting to be used for those cars ! :)
 
OK wow. There's no way I'm shelling out that kind of cash for a game peripheral. I was honestly hoping for some kind of casual solution, but looks instead like I'm SOL.

Its true, but it depends upon the game. NFS: Shift with a controller works perfectly for instance.

With Forza 3 there is a deadzone, then if you apply even the slightest pressure your car will lurch, and then *after* that point you can make subtle adjustments, like trying to hold the line during a long curve.

With the dualshock in GT5 it feels like there isn't a deadzone. You apply slight pressure and you get a slight result. So its easy for me to handle cars at speed in GT5 because my car will only lurch if I want it to.

So while Forza is the better overall game for me than GT5, the controller is whats keeping me from truly enjoying it. If its that or spend a serious wad of cash on a wheel I may just have to make due with GT5.

Any word on when we will be able to purchase the Stig pack as DLC on it's own? Considering I can't even find the Ultimate Edition here yet and I already own most of the DLC anyways.

The list of cars has been published :

1971 AMC Javelin-AMX
1973 BMW Motorsport 2002 Turbo
1970 Chevrolet El Camino SS 454
1971 De Tomaso Pantera
1982 DeLorean DMC-12
1987 Ford Sierra RS500 Cosworth
1990 Mercedes-Benz 190E 2.5-16 Evolution II
1978 Saab 99 Turbo
1983 Volvo 242 Turbo Evolution
1957 Ferrari 250 California


I'm glad the 190E made it in ! :D
The California is unexpected and will probably cost two arms and two legs !:lol
 
If anyone has another one of those DLC codes Ill swap u a CRACKDOWN 2 DLC code for one.

I also had a question about changing the cockpit view settings so Im sitting further back. Ive had this game since launch poured hours and hours into it without knowing this can be done. Now I know it can be done though, I cant figure out how the hell to change it.

so guys, as someone who has 49/50 achievements on Forza 3, how can I get the latest stig garage and such for my copy instead of forcing me to buy the whole game again?

And with the California, I'll be utilising the custom soundtrack feature of the 360 to play both Oh Yeah by Yello and Love Missile F1-11 constantly

Oh, and with the DeLorean I guess I'll had some Huey Lewis to the mix :lol


Anyway, so is this the last pack or is there one more?

the one car to get me to buy a dlc car pack is missing (lancia 037), so no purchase from me :(

The 037 is one of the exclusive car of the Ultimate Edition unfortunately...

Shaneus said:

I don't think so. BADNED hinted at some cars that aren't in this pack (Syclone and 635csi) and we've seen a photo of a laser scanning of the Mitsubishi Starion. Add to that the files found on the UC dvd and there could be up to two more packs.
All of this is speculation though...

Tell me more (or link me)! I haven't heard about any special files on the UC disk.

Isn't that just all the cars from the Forzalopnik contest?

Having unique cars in different SKU's is irritating as fuck. Bringing out an 'Ultimate' Edition and then continuing to release DLC is also fairly irritating. I just want a copy of Forza where I'm guaranteed never to see a padlock in the car dealership.

FOR EscortRS1800 77
Should have been in the game on day 1. Now we know it is on the disk, but we don't know if it will ever be available. Idiocy.

There are a lot of cars from the Jalopnik contest but also some recent one like the Peugeot 407 Coupé, the Audi RS3 (we would only miss the A1, Q5 and A8 to have the whole Audi range !:lol ) or the Toyota FT-86.
If I had to guess, I'd say that we'll get one 2010/2011 car pack and one or two classic car pack before Forza 4 is released. If they drop those car pack every two month, it would get us around june which magically is around the same time as E3 where Forza 4 will probably be unveiled...:D

I'd buy this pack just for that Sierra Cosworth, but alot of cars in this pack really appeal to me. Hope to see the Escort Cosworth appear at some point though - having that and the Sierra together would have been too good to be true.

Loving all those Fords and Pontiac's on that list, fantastic. Having a little '78 King Cobra and making it into a beast would be a great laugh.

Getting the Ultimate edition tomorrow, excited to jump back into this game.
