I dunno, I thought you sounded a lot like her during the race. Real husky voice. I didn't want to make you uncomfortable during the game so I didn't say anything.

I don't know what it is, but needing a glass of water seems to be common on GAF in January.

Hey guys, every time I try and 'share' my logo design it says to try again later. Any ongoing issues with that or something

Bought this a few weeks back for that 40 dollar deal on Amazon. Been having a pretty decent time although I miss the unlock system from F3. Leveling and stuff seems slower but I'm a casual racing guy so it's not a huge deal I suppose. I miss the awesome music from 3 as well as that was some very chill stuff.

Game looks crazy good though. I just like to sit in the vista mode and admire the 3 something cars I own. Big anticipation for Horizon though as that is my preferred Forza series.

Whoah! The new official forums are finally up. Might be old news to you lot, but I didn't see it announced anywhere.

click here to be instantly patronised by holier-than-thou moderators

Looks like they wiped all previous topics and posts from the old forums.

I guess the launch of the new forum has been keeping Helios busy - too busy to post here and too busy to get Dan to sign our free Xbones, right DC? RIGHT..?

 

[SarBear]

Well, the track selection Rules out the 95 Mustang.........or does it? =)

Up to you! I would have said that good taste did, though. I remember thinking how refreshing that body was at the time, but it really hasn't aged as well as the late Fox-body; the whole car looks like a double chin.

Save it as a new file, under new name and upload the new one, it will work.

 

[p3tran]

hmm.. the racing slicks and no drivetrain change restrictions, really ..restrict my possible car choices..

 

[SCHUEY F1]

So all we can change/add is slicks and a roll cage?

 

[p3tran]

no, we must add slicks and cage, and keep the drivetrain stock, then on top of that, do as we please until we reach the b600 limit.

I think that was pretty common in non-DTM touring car series that were the inspiration for this.

Spoiler

Have blown those series' displacement limits by including the Mustangs and Camaro, but whatever, they have four seats.

 

[p3tran]

yes, but I think my fwd gti, which is light as a feather, will not feel very comfortable when rubbing all around in bathurst for example...
I may need a heavy car, or a awd one

 

[SarBear]

Yea, I'm thinking either the 95 or the 93 MUSTANG. Was gonna do the M3, but seems to be a large gap in lap times between that and the MUSTANGS.

Cant go wrong when you design your car using only a T-Square.

Nobody picking the awesome Ford Escort? Where is your sense of adventure??

heh, I have one ready, I had a little trouble fitting dat v8 inside with our restrictions, but its working now.
if anybody wants, I can upload the test file.

 

[Dee Dah Dave]

So I just got an email from MS giving me a code for the Day One DLC for people who bought the digital version between Nov 22nd and Dec 6th.

Seems they send it by message to the Xbox and also by email to the account.

 

[Mascot]

Tracks.

Any sign of them yet?

not a god damned peep.

well, there was this in yesterdays week in review "Not an update to the game, or new content to play with (though rest assured, we continue to work on both). "

yeeeaaah... cars

 

[derFeef]

Just got an exclusive car pack code from Xbox, per message. weird.

Was it the day one car pack? Do you have the digital version of the game?

 

[Redshirt]

I finally got the Day One pack as well (for Ryse too). It took long enough, but good of MS to fix this.

 

[p3tran]

I cant seem to be able to find a respectable car/setup that fits our specs for the bathurst race.
no matter how I try to put something together, it still is 10+ seconds far away from the top of the boards.
any of you guys having better luck?

 

[Klocker]

Got my day one code yesterday, used on Xbox.com as the message suggested I could and now I still have no download nor have the cars unlocked.

tried the code on box and of course it said was used. Restarted forza several times as well

Maybe a stupid question, but did you know you still have to install it after applying the code?

Go to My games & apps, highlight Forza Motorsport 5, press the Menu button, select Show all add-ons, highlight FM5 Day One Car Pack and select install.

Thanks! went to games and apps and didn't see it. Will highlight add ons and hope it's there.

What kind of lap time are you doing. I think I'm too slow, even though the car feels relatively good.

 

[CrudeDiatribe]

I am sure I got a 2:22 when tuning an 190E, but haven't replicated it.

Yikes, my Celica is too slow. I can do 2:29 and that is doing a pretty clean lap.

notice he didn't give his average time now...

Just saying crude ;-)

lol, I bet his average is still better. Quick question. What is better generally, reduce wait or put more into the engine?

 

[zorbsie]

I always make the car lighter before putting anything into the engine. I want to say there are more benefits with a lighter car than just adding horsepower.

 

[Giggzy]

Anyone need a day one car pack key?

I don't need mine.

 

[CrudeDiatribe]

No, out of the 7 laps I did in Rivals, it was closer to 2:26, and never clean.

I think with Bathurst I would aim to build a car you can drive consistently and comfortably, there are so many places to make costly mistakes.

I don't need mine.

I'd take it, my pre-order took weeks to come in so I didn't get one.

 

[p3tran]

oh shi... double xp weekend on ghosts!!


hehe just kidding, I got two alarms set for today

 

[SarBear]

Just gonna use the 95 MUSTANG. Should be really competitive.

 

[SarBear]

190E/M3 is the way to go, however.

 

[SarBear]

I put the foxbody tune on the marketplace if you guys wanna use it. Does low 21s for me. The low level torgue is really good. Brakes on a dime. Just search GAF

 

[op_ivy]

i put together a 93 stang and am running 22s. the fact that i'm that close to sarbear and p3tran tells me i've dun gud.

not quite as good in prague though...

 

[SarBear]

If you picked the 190 or M3 you'd be much better off. Trust me.

fuck that. five.point.o

in all likelihood i wont make races again, just for fun. or just in case
