Couple of quick questions while I make a tea.

Does altering the deadzones like the brake for example compress the input range or clip it? My little brake mod won't allow full travel now.

The other thing is where are the options to join user lobbies? I only saw hoppers last night?

 

[Muerte_X]

I'm online and ready. Can someone on my friends list please invite me to the lobby when its up?

 

[zorbsie]

setting up lobby now. Connecting to game server is taking forever.

 

[m23]

Zorbsie, I added you up, just send an invite when we're ready to go.

 

[SarBear]

Lalala

 

[Sub_Level]

Ready too.

 

[soundscream]

Half asleep......but good to go

 

[SarBear]

Zorbs, da fuq you doin?

 

[soundscream]

He said he was having trouble connecting to the servers. It took me a second to get a lobby going want me to start inviting people?

 

[SarBear]

Anyone wanna throw me an invite? Gt Dead Poul

 

[CrudeDiatribe]

Zorbs, da fuq you doin?

Didn't you dump us as friends on XBL?

...awkward.

 

[Spaceman Spiff]

FR request sent, zorbs. Send an invite when ready.

 

[Terbinator]

All my gamertag searches are returning an error lol. If someone could add me (Soggy Naan) that would be great.

 

[soundscream]

Wouldn't be forza gaf without the initial cluster fuck of a start

 

[Muerte_X]

Am I the only one that can't hear anyone? I turned on party chat...

 

[drugstore_cowboy]

Are you in?

Not sure if I can browse lobbies or it's invite only

 

[Terbinator]

I'm in!

Edit: Apparently I'm the only one in chat xD

 

[soundscream]

At least your in the party :/

 

[frontieruk]

Enjoy the race guys!

 

[m23]

Don't go to party chat, go to game chat.

 

[Muerte_X]

Got it figured out, was in the party but not the lobby

 

[Terbinator]

Just use the in-game chat.

 

[CrudeDiatribe]

Are you in?

Not sure if I can browse lobbies or it's invite only

Now that you are in the party, go into Forza and hit start when prompted in the lower left to join our game.

 

[SarBear]

If you've received an invite, please go to the multiplayer lobby and press the start button to join.

 

[soundscream]

I don't think my Mic works

 

[drugstore_cowboy]

I'm not seeing it. Sorry, dont let me hold you up, gonna try another trial code.

 

[soundscream]

Voice chat is so borked on my end

 

[m23]

Can you hear us?

 

[soundscream]

Can you hear us?

Sometimes but mostly no.

Edit: unplugged my headphones and I can hear everyone now but I don't think anyone hears me.

 

[SarBear]

Did you press the Orange button?

 

[m23]

Sometimes but mostly no.

Edit: unplugged my headphones and I can hear everyone now but I don't think anyone hears me.

No, we can't. That's weird, sure you haven't muted yourself?

 

[soundscream]

Did you press the Orange button?

Isn't that mute?

 

[SarBear]

Isn't that mute?

If it's currently orange, you're muted.

 

[Muerte_X]

Isn't that mute?

It's on mute when its lit up with the orange slash

 

[soundscream]

No, we can't. That's weird, sure you haven't muted yourself?

When the headset is in I hear nothing no matter what unplug it and I hear everyone

 

[drugstore_cowboy]

Have you guys started racing?

I hadn't realised the trial had run out, I was fucking fuming when nothing was happening. Tried the one I got via PM (thx again) but if I've missed the start no worries, haven't got a clue what I'm doing.

 

[SarBear]

....And I lost internet service. Fuck!! Trying to get it back up

 

[p3tran]

we just did the leman test lap. waiting for both your asses!

 

[Terbinator]

For some reason Kinect is picking up my voice. Used it just fine for voice chat yesterday.

My missus wants to watch Sherlock but if I can get away after I will.

 

[Sub_Level]

Noooooo had to quit to help my mom with groceries during the last lap of Mans. Sorry guys it was fun though.

 

[soundscream]

So first time using the Mic and I don't know what's up with it. It lights up to mute and I can't hear anyone when it's plugged in. Maybe the volume toggle is broken?

At least I know Kinect works for voice.

 

[Terbinator]

My connection went to absolute shit on Le Mans. Last two laps was like driving through glue - kept tapping soundscream by accident lol.

I thought you were using me as your super secret breaking technique!


Anyway the 13th is my B-Day and Im buying myself something.

Im conflicted between the choice of the Thrustmater wheel or a new computer........Im so conflicted :/

 

[frontieruk]

gaming rig or media?

 

[soundscream]

gaming rig or media?

I've never had a gaming PC, so that's what I was looking for. But at the same time I wouldn't be doing the bulk of my gaming on it, it would mainly be for racing sims.

But I have like $200 in Amazon credit so I could get the wheel for basically $200 which would ease the pain of moving on from my fanatec gear.

 

[CrudeDiatribe]

Posted my Jag's setup. Turns out the tires weren't skinny at all- just 1960s-era bias ply tires.

Re: spec racing:
Also posted a C500 Clio-V6 (mid engined one) that was used for real life spec racing.

Completely stock Ferrai Challenge Stradale (tuning allowed) would be a good option. It is too bad the F355C isn't in the game.

Will tune up a Miata and a BRZ86 later.

the wheel would be the cheaper investment, but I love my PC, enough to forgo a ps4 for a new gfx card
