Hello all! Is it possible for new people to join the league? I've finally got an XB1 again after mistakenly selling it when I didn't quite have much money, and I had Forza 5 on my account so I figured I'd check this thread out to see if anyone is doing online races :)

My GamerTag is phleg01 and I've popped in a 55.557 at Catalunya in the Mugen :)

Munish23, you should totally do it. I feel bad posting the 0 everytime too. :)

Mad_Ban and drifter444, I added you both to the Forza GAF players list. Add people from there and swear at us when our drivatars knock you off the road. League races are open to everyone, don't be shy join us 2pm EST. Check my post from the previous page for the race restrictions.

Keep those time trials times coming. I'm going to try and get out of last place tonight but I don't think it's going to happen.

Just popped in a 54.950 without a setup. I'll play around with gear ratios this afternoon and try to get close to the frontrunners.

Just thought I'd pop in a few laps as I'm getting back up to speed with the TX Wheel.

I'm loving the wheel, now that T10 have finally fixed the wheel/controller issues, I can have my controller alongside and seemlessly switch between the two, using the controller for chat/party stuff as well..

Yup.. :D

This was posted on the Thrustmaster facebook page on the 20th Feb
FORZA 5: The new update of Forza 5 (available since yesterday) solves the conflict between steering wheel & gamepad controller.
It's now also possible to use “Xbox One Chat Headset”!
For this:
1)Plug Headset on your gamepad
2)Turn On the console with your gamepad
3)In console menu, SIGN IN to your profile with the gamepad
4)Launch the game
5)Inside the game, press “A” on your Steering Wheel
6)SIGN IN to same profile with your Steering Wheel
7)With your Steering wheel, you can now access to MULTIPLAYER and chat with the Headset even if you play with a Steering Wheel
Click to expand...

Finally, you can use the controller for painting, photomode, forzavista, but then use the wheel when racing.. How many times I'd have killed for this in FM3/4, and so glad it's finally sorted!

I can set up the lobby, so everyone add CrudeDiatribe or trust that you're friends with someone else racing. I haven't driven my Evo VI yet, it's been that kind of week.

Same here. I don't even appear to be able to join the game without joining the party.

It is a shame this post got buried at the end of a (50pp) page.

I was last on the Bugatti circuit, I would of been closer but it was the first time I've actually raced using manual gears, so got overly flustered when I cocked up and went for a drive in reverse and couldn't work out why :(

And wasn't it sirkets partners views? I'll be honest I really was having issues following the conversation as there was a horrid reverb every time someone started talking.

Haha, I do apologize. Liz and I love to be terrible and horrible when we are hanging out together. Sometimes I forget to censor myself around other people.
