Thanks! I definitely agree. It would be awesome to have actual license plates, right know it's not good at all, since they are just stickers, and many cars cannot have them, since the license plate area is unpaintable.

My idea is this:

-Add as a body upgrade front and rear license plate options. (Along with bumpers, sideskirts, hoods...)
-Allow us to choose between 3 models for both front and rear. US Spec one (tall, narrow), Euro Spec (short, wide) and Australian Spec (short, wideness between US and Euro)
-Add two more zones in the livery editor, so it ends as follows: (front plate (if installed), front bumper, left side, hood and roof, right side, rear, rear plate (if installed), spoiler)

And everyone's happy. And if you think about it, it's not really a big work. Make 3 sizes, place them on every car (the same work needed to made for the Forza aero kits) and...pretty much that.

I hope someday we'll be able to see something like this!

(Also, the Top Gear Astra license plate is in my..."storefront", IDK how to call it)

Yeah I can't even make a private match. This is destroying my view of the xbone.

I've been playing some online races last few nights. Not sure what's up with yours. Try hard reset of your console, seems to solve most problems.

 

[drugstore_cowboy]

That's a fine suggestion Jorge, hopefully somebody takes note, imo just looking at your photos should be enough to consider making them.

I'm sure T10 have a few triangles spare to model a plate.

Gonna grab the Vauxhall one.

 

[SalientChief]

Really like the shots with the license plates Jorge, shame we can't have an optional blank plate for the front and rear. Something so simple adds a lot to the realistic look.

Yes!

 

[SalientChief]

A few pics of the Mustang and Q50....

I really hope they can. It's a nice customization touch, and not very tech/time demanding at all, considering the results. They don't even need to make templates (like Midnight Club LA did, with all 50 US states, for example), if they need that time for other things.

They need to model those 3 types of sizes, though, not only to make people able to make almost any plate in the world, but also, because some cars need them. Most american cars need a US Spec one, most european cars, have euro sized ones, and some like the Alfa Giulietta, need Australian sized plates, since the grill is in the middle, and a shorter euro plate is fitted in the side of the bumper (in real life, it would be a sightly shorter Australian one, but I don't think they're going to waste so much time looking at the size available for every car, and what kind of plates can fit)

Also, not only real plates could be added, but sponsor logos for racing cars, or maybe a racing number/racer name for cups and races. Oh, the possibilities!

 

[JorgePinto]

And since we were talking about customization...well, there's a lot of things that would be great to see, of course. But there's something that bugs me since the beggining of the series.

Tire brands. I really miss them. Now at least we have whitewalls, which are amazing on vintage cars, but...I can't see a F1 car without "Pirelli P Zero" or a offroad car without "BF Goodrich All Terrain T/A", and of course, remember FM2 for example, where you were able to change the brand of your tires, but...you never got to see it.

I think this is related to licenses somehow, but it would be awesome to finally see them on the cars.

 

[drifter444]

Man I spend more time in autovista and photomode than actually racing. These cars are pure art!

Yeah, I think it helps with the sense of speed on open wheel cars too where you can see the inside of the tyre, driving the E21 in cockpit view I can barely tell if the wheels are rotating or not like when I've locked up. With the Formula E the tread pattern helps no end.

Even some generic branding would be enough for me. Tyre side wall markings adds a lot of character to the car..

 

[drugstore_cowboy]

Just a different colour for each compound (and the ability to turn it off) would be great.

 

[Seanspeed]

So whats the Formula E like to drive?

 

[drugstore_cowboy]

It's nippy and grippy. I was surprised to see it stuck in 'A' class as the car is great for circuits like Long Beach and the TGTT.

It's pretty great, weird the first time you pull away from the pack and hear the car on it's own though!

I had a quick look at the recommended tunes and I think I saw some S class ones there.

 

[Truelize]

Has anyone actually ever played this game in multiplayer? The reason I ask is, I bought my Xbone 2 days ago. I bought forza and titanfall. My xbone is in my routers DMZ (so please don't tell me to forward my ports) and I have an open NAT. I can play titanfall fine with a 20ms ping. I can get all the drivatars and rivals constantly bombarding me while I play forza. However for 2 days off and on I cannot get into a single race lobby. Unable to join messages. This so frustrating. Worst of all I bought the game digital so I'm stuck with it.

Try going into your settings and enabling IPsec. I bought my system on day one and had never been able to get it to work (never bothered finding out a fix) until last week. Switched that one setting and it's all good now.

Tried an S class tune, I think it just added slicks. Car's a fucking grip monster with them.

Checking in for today's races. We are just racing for fun and to mock Spades for getting "Time Exclusive" banned

Race time is 2:00pm EST. Who's in? I know there is a lot of new folks here. Feel free to jump in. Add me, GT: zorbs and let me know you want it. I'll send invites around 2:00. We will test out the new car pack and talk next league series.

 

[Devildoll]

We've managed a whole tournament over the last two months so definitely working

We've had our hickups though.
sometimes being in any kind of party will mess up your ability to join a game, at that point i usually restart the whole console and try to join the lobby in question before getting into any kind of party.

Huge difference between a hiccup and no ability to play online ever.

For sure, i dont know how many separate times make up "for ever" in this case.

 

[zorbsie]

lobby up in 5 minutes. I just have to buy the cars.

 

[Shortt Sirket]

How did the fun races go yesterday? Anyone stream/record it?

 

[Sordid]

Can anyone recommend some C class cars/tunes for an average to rubbish driver? I like using the CRX Mugen(?) because it handles like a champ but the acceleration/speed aren't that great. I've won a few online races with it but if I get bashed off (which happens frequently!) I can never catch up.

 

[frontieruk]

Usual fare, the formula e cars are fun, the rolls goes around the oval quite nicely, even sideways, I flipped the infinity at eau rouge. Fun was had by all

I'd have to have a proper look but there's a RWD setup for the '97 Civic I use often, the 1965 Mini seems to do well online in C class but I haven't taken mine out of D class.

 

[G Rom]

Since I was on holidays, I wasn't able to share my take on some of the new cars until now :

I was a bit disappointed that they didn't model the stationary wheel caps of the Rolls. I wonder if it's a limit of the engine or if they just didn't bother.


Edit : Three more of the Mustang.

 

[p3tran]

great pics from the usual suspects (g-rom, jorge) but also some good stuff from newer photographers 8)

Im a projector guy so I would never do triple screen, but I want the option in there so I could adjust the FOV.

And he mentioned not having to deal with bikes in the video, as much as I hated them in PGR 4 I would love to have some bikes on the ring to make it even more realistic. Whenever someone records a lap on the ring you always see a few motorcycles.

Looks terrific but again like Forza 4 the slightly pitched down angle of the default camera really screws up the view under braking, especially when changing the fov. Nothing but a face full of asphalt.

I'm sure it's only done to increase the sense of speed but if you are going to fuck with something like that it has to be adjustable.

Or go back to F2 and F3's camera.

Wish they'd showcased FH2 like this.

Not sure I could deal with the way the extra screens magnify compared to the main screen.

 

[drugstore_cowboy]

When sat straight on to it you don't really notice any strange effects as they fall outside your line of sight. Triple screens are great for enhancing speed and gaining extra visibility around the car.

Read something on GTPlanet earlier, a rumour of FM going to 3 year cycles. Not that long ago I'm sure Dan said they were optimised and commited to delivering an FM every 2 years.

Could there be anything in the rumour?

200 points to go until the next tier of Forza rewards... I can do it!

that would be absolutely terrific for the game. with three years i think t10 could generate a load more content as well as really add new features (time of day!) with each new game. i really hope its true.

Hey guys, I'm back

What was that? A one week cool off from Bish?

 

[soundscream]

Almost that time of year,had to recreate my best money maker........................not like I would actually get any credits in FM5.

Seriously fix this for the next game Turn 10!

 

[Spades]

So are we joining the Horizon 2 GAF car club, or are we making our own?

Not possible with present day ice bucket technology.

Ask again in a few years.

 

[p3tran]

dont tell me he chickened out?
I expect great content!!

 

[GoaThief]

So where are the good leagues/clubs hiding in this game?

I'm late to the party but I cannot seem to find many at all through Google.
