Pretty sure the cockpit view sound does change when you take out sound damping and almost positive this wouldn't be the first Forza to do that.

So here is a short roll call for Sundays races.

Anyone else want in on this? Don't be shy. Races are set to start at 2pm EST and we'll be racing the stock Ferrari 360 CS, tuned by you.

Updated list of racers. See you all on Sunday! I'll start the lobby around 1:45pm EST with races practice lap starting at 2. And those concerned about time, it shouldn't be more than an hour for the two races.

I have no clue on the tracks lol. SIM steering on a pad is so worth it. You can feel every nuance and know exactly when you're gonna lose traction. I lo've it

i gave that up after my first attempt on day one. mapping a full wheel to a pad feels odd. when i get a wheel i'll change it, but on a pad its just strange

Wait, you guys are choosing to race at Indy? Forza fans really do love a bit of self-flagellation. :p

I keep checking this thread for news about track DLC, "expansion packs" and whatnot, but it's all quiet on the Western front. Does anyone have any idea what's happening?

Has anyone heard from Helios recently? Cowboy and I have a vested interest in his continued health and happiness.

Edit: Aw shit, just realised this thread has been moved to the "community" graveyard.

this must be a mistake. this is the forza 5 OT. no place for it in the graveyard!
surely a moderator will take it back to its place..?

This thread was doomed to Community hell as soon as most of the discussion turned to online race meets. A separate thread should perhaps have been started to preserve the sanctity of the OT.

All game OTs get moved to Community after a month, so then we would have two threads in Community instead of one.

I can show you how to take it if you'd like? I admit there's a steep learning curve and it involves being really patient and coasting.

It's a good thing we'll be doing a practice lap beforehand, since I haven't practiced much this past week and Indy GP was hardly one of my better tracks to begin with. First turn is hit or miss, but every damn time I somehow screw up in the left-right-left sequence of corners before you get onto the speedway portion.

It's in the FAQs. It was effected in the past 12-18 months; Our FM4 OT got shunted over there prior to Horizon's release, IIRC.

I'm sure in the olden days threads stayed in Gaming while the game was still being actively discussed. Weird how an arbitrary "rule" got introduced like that.

Great races yesterday guys. Unfortunately using "record that" to keep the standings is hit and miss. I know I came in last and sarbear was in first, and sound scream was ahead of me. Can the rest of the pack tell me their place and I can update the standings.

Yeah saying record that is only 30 seconds, to get the last 5 min you need to snap the app. I was planing on uploading our epic battle for 3rd in the first race, but only got the end because of this.
