That wouldn't happen if you were playing Project Cars. Just ask Danowat. Fortunately it's one sale for $20 this week.
I got it on PS4 from some glitch for $3 and I had the same issue.

Maybe RawNuts can hook us up. I PM'd p3tran as well.
Edit: I feel dirty supporting SMS. These are some hostile $^%&.

I spent hours adjusting the controller settings for Project CARS, and went back and adjusted them after each big patch that adjusted anything about the controller settings. I never got them to a point where I thought "this feels right" and I've since forced a refund on the game so I can't launch it again and see what I ended up with; sorry. :/
Pfff wow. Thanks for nothing.

Have a skim through the PCars OT. You won't get the answer you're looking for here unfortunately.
Nothing is usually what people come to expect from me.
Yup, I remember this all too well; searching through threads and trying various people's settings. Trying to get the best controller setup for PCars even led me to browse GameFAQs, gross.
Deem Drivatars, quality AI
You're right, it wouldn't!
Back on topic........
I've sorta lost the will to play FM6, not sure what it is, but I think it's the lowest amount of hours I've put into a Forza game before getting tired of it, and it's a real shame.
What the game does good, it does very, very good, but it just doesn't do enough good to justify my time playing it, and that's a shame, I remember the first time I played FM2 and being absolutely blown away with it, it was head and shoulders above anything else on consoles at the time.
I had the same feeling playing FM4, it was the pinnacle of the series IMO, but I just can't put my finger on what it is with FM6 that doesn't sit right.
The races just aren't particularly exciting, the field is too spread out to get a sense of wheel to wheel racing, the races are too short, and the physics (at least with slick tyres) too wonky, just makes trudging through the career a bit of a chore.
Let's hope FM7 pulls something special off!
Why not put in some online time with us? Or do you not care for online play much?
Oh no, I do like it, but I play at weird times of the day, and my play sessions sometimes have to be cut short at short notice.
I like racing online, but it's not really conducive to the way I have to play games, which usually means me having to stop racing mid-race as I can't pause it, so asynchronous multiplayer, hot lapping, or single player makes up the majority of my game time.
Doing the Can-Am series right now. Proper scary cars man. These guys back then were just not right in their heads.
Home stretch for me tbh so I'm going to keep going. After this only Executive Heavyweights, Vintage Touring and Modern GP are left.
But that means I would then have to somehow get this stupid through the pack achievement. ugh fml

Never in a racing sim have I driven such an emotionally evocative car as that 88 MP4-4 Prost/Senna Mclaren.
(admission: no, I didnt play whatever PC sim modded this car into the game)
Im positive the rarity of its appearance in the sim world has something to do with the thrill I get driving it, but goddamn, driving this car is pure theatre. It feels positively violent when you hit the throttle out of a corner and then the turbo boost kicks in, as the engine roars its appreciation.
No wonder Senna ignored Jackie Stewarts mantra of (paraphrasing) "never hitting the throttle in a corner if you have to back out of it" you have to keep the engine revs up as you navigate a corner so your turbo lag is kept to a minimum as you are shifting to the higher gear.

Hi, i bought forza 5 on release and dint play much because well, it was lifeless.
Im more of a budget gamer. Would getting forza horizons 2 be the right pick for me, or is 6 so far ahead of that game that i would be missing out. I could get horizons cheaper now and 6 when it comes down if its just a marginal increase in quality.

Horizon is a great game, so you should definitely get it. You'll have a blast.
I wouldn't worry about the technical differences between FH2 and FM6 because they're such different games that it really doesn't matter.

OK cool. Horizons is 30 on live here but I'm going to try and find a boxed copy
It's car passes is on sale too, can a more casual gamer like me just ignore that stuff

Yes. The car pass isn't necessary. Storm Island is really the only must-have DLC, so get that eventually if you love the main game.
Also, one car from each car pack is free for everyone, so download those.
Oh right on thanks

Just bought 6 in the Black Friday sale with Gears. Started playing a bit and it really feels like it has the same class of FM4 which was my favorite of the series so far. Love the presentation here.
I did like FM5 but could tell they did whatever they could to get it out for launch and had to make concessions.
BTW, Forza Horizon 2 is really worth it, but more worth it is the Storm Island DLC.

Microtransactions won't stop FORZAGAF!
It's race day baby. 3pm Eastern. I don't know how to do those fancy countdown gifs.
The standings are updated. Get your Sebring times in. Looks like it might rain today, that would be interesting...
We got a new racer just doing time trails and jumped to 14th place. Good stuff Don_Ente!
Everyone is welcome to join us today. If you haven't joined us before, just let me know and I'll make sure to send out an invite.
I'm going to be super rusty out there. Vacation and Fallout overdose will do that. Hope to see everyone out, I promise I won't hit SoundScream. But Shortt is on my shit list!

This should be fun. Between Fallout 4, The Crew and Jessica Jones, I haven't played any Forza this week.

HOLY CRAP I HAVE 2 POINTS!!!!!!
I've only got a little racing in yesterday, most of my time in the last two weeks have been spent playing the HALO's. It's going to be a rough race for me.

My Sebring time: 2:19.223
In case we need a "rain time" - 2:30.192
I should have gotten started sooner on this. My times for the first 4 races (submitted too late for the standings) were:
Rio Coast Rev - 52.942
Indy GP - 1:36.897
COTA East - 54.342
Laguna Seca - 1:40.303

That was a rough couple of races for me! But it was worth it. I don't think I've laughed so hard all week.

I think I was further back. Lost it on the penultimate straight.

I just remember that I sucked, went off track numerous times and rammed you off (I stopped and waited until you passed after that) and that I couldn't hear anyone anymore after joining the party right before the main race... but on the last lap I overtook 2 guys who spun out, so I shouldn't be last... I think.

Right place order for the race or overall standings?
I have no idea about the standings, but if it's the race, I came in last. Wiped out on the first lap and never recovered.

My face hurt from laughing.
Apropos of nothing, I think P3tran could beat Trump.
Also, here's one of the OT threads discussed during the race, since so many of you seem to think this site is about gaming (of all things!).

I look forward to his thoughts on China this week.
Race day schedule:
We will have a 4 lap practice race with collisions off. You will try to get your best time in this race. The real race will use best lap times in ascending order for grid placement. Collisions will be always on, make sure to turn off sim damage on your end.
As always the lobby will be up at 3:00pm Eastern, but this series will happen on Sunday. The race should take 15 - 20 minutes to finish. After the race feel free to stick around and do more races with the group.
Can't make it on Sunday? Join in the fun by doing this weeks time trial. Post your best time on this weeks track before the race on Sunday to be included. Points will be given on time trials as well as the actual race.
Sunday race will be Road America - Full Circuit
Don't forget that the car you use in time trial is the car you use on race day.
Who can join?
Anyone on GAF is more than welcome to join. Just picked up FM6? leave me your GT and I'll send you an invite on race day. Simple as that.
Last week had some amazing discussions during the races. Loads of laughs were had. If you're looking for a good time racing with folks come on out.
Questions/Suggestions? I'm all ears.
League standings are updated. Might have to save up for the shipping to Greece.
