So I just got the game, and it's the first racing game I've played since like the N64 days. I like it so far, but...

It seems like every time I tap the break or turn my car, the back of my car goes spinning and it's just chaos. Am I doing something wrong? I swear for at least 90% of any given race the back of my car isn't in control. Very frustrating. :(

Have you got it on 'Normal' or 'Simulation' steering setting?


I've been playing on a shitty 32" 720p LCD ever since the game cam out. It looked great but finally got my 60" 1080p Panasonic plasma out of storage and holy fuck at the difference!
The game looks phenomenal on that set.

Normal right now. Simulation seemed like it might be even less predictable! Lol

The normal setting should settle things down a bit but it seems that your trying drive like it's an arcade racer. You have to really slow down at the corners and try not to take them too quickly. Once your into a corner, feather the accelerator and don't just push down straight away. Slow and steady is the way to go.
I suggest you put on some aids like traction and stability control just to get a feel of things first. Once you start getting a little more confident, take off an aid one at a time to see how things feel.

Please Turn 10, look into the accel and deccel deadzone issues. They need tweaking from your end because no matter what we do in the settings, they still don't behave properly.
This is backed up by a shitload of people too..

Oh, and the lack of tuning options before a race is getting ridiculously annoying...

So I reached Driver Level 10 but the achievement is not unlocking. Are there any known issues with that or am I doing something wrong?

Quoting myself just to update: I got the Forza Lifestyle achievement - Driver Level 10 - but only after I had already reached Driver Level 10 and played one more game. After that second game I got the achievement.

You can rent the McLaren P1 in free mode and do the challenge there.
Click to expand...

Oh ok, thanks. I was wondering about that, but the challenge says "Your". So I assumed we had to own it.

EDIT: Didn't pop for me. Hit 245mph for a good 5 seconds on the big straight of Le Mans, no pop. Finished the race as well to make sure it didn't pop at the end, nope.

I love how now, if you put a supercharger upgrade, the whine is heard whilst in idle.
Sounds menacing with a V8.

Also, holy shit at the idle of the Stingray 427 after some exhaust and cam upgrades. Lumpy as shit!

This game gets way to much shit for its graphics here. The game is stunning most of the time.
Click to expand...

Maybe I'm just easy to please but I think it looks phenomenal.
My girlfriend doesn't like games, nor my Dad (he actually hates them) and both were completely blown away by the visuals - although they don't see many games so that probably has something to do with it.

GAF is so jaded.

So after a week my controller batteries started dying and for a moment i was playing without rumble/trigger feedback..

Man it's a different game. You don't realise how much of a difference the triggers add to the experience until you play without feedback. (ok, assuming you've gotten used to the game abit)...

Hold on, friend! I'd love to share with you some swell news about the Windows 8 Metro UI! Wait, where are you going?
Ok, so I'm really enjoying FM5 but I tend to play in short spurts so I don't have many cars, I'm just having fun racing in my MINI. For the first time I decided to try free play and drove one of the F1 cars, I know this is obvious, but HOLY SHIT at the difference in speed. I felt like I was playing in fast forward. So much fun.

Hmmm, mine popped on that straight going 395 km/h despite the achievement saying I need to go 402 km/h. It popped right after the straight.

Went on a buying spree with all the cars being discounted. Bought the Atom and realized you can totally cheese this game through free play mode.

I had a quick go of Forza 5 at my buddys house today, have to say that I am more impressed with the bone than I wanted to be. Graphics were excellent, but those triggers! Damn I want those on PS4

cheese the game for credits?

i too went on a massive spending spree. didnt think i could rack up 3 mill, so bought the dbr9, atom, 458, skyline, etc. would be nice to get a few high end cars (maybe the 908) before the weekend is over

New Forza Rewards are available now. Tier 5 gets you 5 million credits!
Click to expand...

Shiiiit I am Tier 4 and I just claimed my 4 million credits! I will make the most of this before the 50% off finishes up. This coupled with grinding on Indy will help me get pretty much all cars I need to finish the game.

The best way to take advantage of this is to use the Lotus E21 on the Indy oval track, turn off all assists and set the max drivers to 16 and I do 40 laps. Just before the race use the bonus tokens VIP received to buy the 2 hour XP boost(which I think costs 200 tokens). Doing the above will net you about 100,000 credits per race, then an additional 6 driver levels which is about 190,000 credits for bout 290,000 credits in 30 minutes. So in each 2 hour block you can make over 1,100,000 credits. I've been grinding all day.

I think there's still 6-7 hours until the 50% off cars ends too so there's still plenty of time left to get in on it.

Edit: Damn, just hit Tier 5. 5 million credits it is.

Do I have to actually do anything to get my free 1 million credits? I logged on earlier today and got a measly $10k from my Drivatar after 91 races but other than that there is nothing in any of the messages about my $1M. I got the free F1 car via the messages but no cash.

You have to go to the forza website, under the rewards category. That is how I did it anyways.
