The club garage should be for precisely tuned, unique, and/or otherwise hilarious vehicles. If there is a vehicle very similar to yours in there already, maybe reconsider sharing it.

I'll remove mine, doesn't help that there is an achievement for sharing something with the club.

Dunno if anyone answered this, but I had the same problem. Its a little file under Xbox Settings>Memory>Forza 4. Its a little file that was doing nothing as gar as I can tell. Once deleted everything was fine.

Go to your garage, highlight a car that you've shared, select it and unshare it.

I think that our club garage should consist only of Unicorns and insane things like R3 Ka's.

No, I liked them too, though a few more would have been nicer than seeing the same ones over and over. Instead you get a picture of your car and the track conditions.

3 and the disk. Your preorder bonus comes from the company you preordered from. Best Buy claims they are emailing it to people, gamestop should be on the receipt, and I am not sure about the other companies.

Someone in the GTCC club who didn't get the pre order car from gamestop needs to try to use the Alpha I shared. Not sure if that will work, but I figured we should give it a try.

We can definitely live without the standard prize cars and F200 cars since pretty much everyone has those. I'd also ask folks to make sure the cars they share are actually driveable, because maxed out econoboxes that can't turn or brake or do anything but ricochet off a wall at 200mph are just a waste of space.

Well yeah, but we don't really need 10 of them in the club garage. Especially when anybody can build one in five seconds now thanks to the free parts.

Plus I have no idea if there's any limits to how many cars can be in the garage at any given time.

They made it so only the top 1% of people who played forza 3 would hit level 150 after playing for two years. At least, that's what they said in previews. Everything after 50 is just cash.

So, I've got an xbox 360 slim 4gb(won it from burger king last year, woohoo). This game has convinced me that I finally need a hard drive for it. I've basically got just enough room for the disk 2 install, but not enough for the DLC that it came with. If I do get one, do I have to start over or will the save still be there from(what I'm guessing) the onboard storage?

This is what I noticed also, no code on any of the emails from game either. I'm hoping the pre-order code might be e-mailed tommorow seeing as the games not 'out' yet idk.

Also this game is phoenomenal, apart from the loving lovely boring flat topgear track with stupid tiny coned corners after massive straights and playing hunt the loving tiny apex. gently caress the topgear track its the worst gently caress it im not bitter or anything.

I havent even started career yet but i've spent allot of time trying out different cars in the free mode.

As far as I have seen the 4gb is onboard flash memory and your harddrive slot is empty. So installing a MS harddrive, or some other workaround, should really just add storage to your xbox and not delete or overwrite what you already have.

Yeah, jumped the gun on that post as I just did a bit more research. Found something I missed earlier, I guess you can use a thumb drive as storage, so I popped an 8gb that I had laying around and voila. The more you know I suppose.

Is there any way to adjust the force feedback level on the MS Wireless Wheel? Or the sensitivity? Or anything? I really want to like this game with the wheel I just bought for it. But after a couple of hours I'm tired of fighting with it every inch of the way. I picked up the controller after an hour with the wheel and ran a perfect lap. With the wheel I'm constantly losing control and crashing. The steering feel is absurdly heavy. And should I hit a bump or get tapped by another car I pretty much lose control, fishtailing back and forth until a wall stops me.

Right now I'm very disappointed in the wheel and I'm trying to give it all the chances in the world to impress me but it's not. Help!

You should be able to adjust wheel settings in controller options. Advanced settings or something. If you want to stop spinning out, either stop overcorrecting or turn off simulation steering. The steering assist keeps you from overcorrecting.

The force feedback is what tells you about your front end grip. When it's strong as you turn, your tires are sticking to the pavement. As the fronts break traction, the wheel will get "loose". The wheel will vibrate as you lose rear end grip.

Real tires essentially do the same thing, it's just amplified a bit to help with the fact that you don't feel the g forces. You can turn down the strength of the force feedback in that menu, though, if you want. Mess with those settings until you get something you're happy with.

Edit: Seriously, try the steering assist. It's done very well, and the only thing you'll notice is that you aren't spinning.

I'm just wondering how the heck you're supposed to see over the instrument panel. It sticks up so much over the steering wheel that it looks like it'd realistically obscure your line of sight unless you're halfway standing up.

The Forza devs said no in one of the developer things. The Hog has massive 4-wheel steering, and does not use rubber tires. They don't have the physics to make it like the game. Not only that, but they're still going for the all ages rating. Even if they put it in, it wouldn't work right.

All the data was included in one of the other packs, so it just downloaded a key and finished almost immediately.
