Okay so I figured out that my nurburgring 2:00:700 time was a dirty lap and ranked 18th fastest amongst those (but still 6000+ rank overall), but my earnings were maxed at 50k each time. Then when I got my first clean lap at 2:10, I was ranked 700-something and was ready to earn 150,000 each win.

I think however the traffic AI sucks rear end and perfect laps are shitsauce and difficult to earn due to lambos dinging my quarterpanel on the last corner. They consistently waste my effort for that entire lap, so gently caress it!

This is the thing about LLJK, the overall tone of the racing really comes down to who's hosting a particular session since there's so many members. I kinda wish there was a way to tell who is hosting a session beforehand since that gives a pretty good indicator of what to expect once you've raced with them a few times.

Not that I'm accusing anyone in particular of being a bad host, just echoing the sentiment that some days I'm more in the mood to do something a bit more structured than a Lol Goonbus Rush.

I noticed there wasn't a BMW 1-series M car in the LLJK garage, so I put one in there. It appears that all the unique cars are truly unique, as I don't have a Mini Clubman or a Honda CR-Z at all. I can't buy them, I can't view them, they might as well not exist.

I'm curious if those cars show up in the club garage, can anyone use them? Or only those of us who purchased the LCE, or only those of us that purchased that particular LCE.

Odd. I find that I can see the Subaru WRX STi (Amazon) and the Mini John Cooper Works (Wal-Mart), but not the Alfa Romeo Guielietta (Game Stop) or the Honda CR-Z (Target). Why? Can those who didn't get the LCE from Best Buy see the 1-series M?

It's terrifying going from 210 something RIGHT DOWN to 40 mph because some AI Jerk is taking the corner a little safe. And the last corner going "Oh god it's clean just careeefulllyy get past this guy..."

The ghost parks on the line when you finish anyways. Unless he saw you start up again, he probably wouldn't know :shobon:

Yeah, literally every LLJK game I've been in has been a consensus, and so far they've all been actual races on tracks with car class restrictions. Except for the one "five Lotus Elans and a musclecar" race, but even that was an actual race. (It was fun being the Camaro, trying to waddle around without hitting people, like avoiding stepping on eggshells)

Heh yeah I can tell you're being really defensive about it. I dunno what to think. I don't like the AI, but I still like the idea/mode.

Perhaps it's also because other people could find that "magic lap" where the AI drivers are not tying up the circuit's most critical corners, which lets you net in the perfect lap. I noticed things were REALLY not in your favor if you're too slow for the first two turns on the nurburgring R3 challenge, but lap 3 was also surprisingly clear on some turns. It's hard to say, as player involvement moves some cars around a bit.

This makes me question just what lap the opponent's ghost was recorded in.

So has Turn 10 said anything about why shared cars are showing up without thumbnails or stats in club garages? Because it really defeats the purpose of having a shared garage if nobody can see what any of the cars actually are.

They show up in the garage, but anyone who doesn't have that DLC can't use them as it just says "This car is DLC and cannot be purchased at this time". So until they make the preorder cars available to everyone, it's not very useful to most folks.

Sorry, I couldn't find it browsing the thread, but what exactly do the steering assists do? I'm using the MS force feedback wheel, and I just noticed I had them on for the first few races I did. Does the game ignore that setting with the wheel (like the way FM 3 changed the steering assists internally when you had the wheel connected?) or have I been playing 'wrong' so far?

Heck is it even meant to be turned off with the MS wheel (e.g. is it meant to be turned off on Fanatech wheels?)

This is weird.

Playing World Tour. In the E-275 BMW 2002 Turbo, Clubman level... it offers me a Nissan E-275 event? Make must be Nissan, year must be pre-1980. I think, I'd like to try that!
So I switch to my E-275 1971 Skyline, and go back. Now, the make/model event is for the F-200 Ford Ka. What?

I guess if I cared I could just go to the event list and do it that way, but am I crazy or is something wrong here? Why is the game showing me events that my car won't qualify for, and then when I switch cars it does it again?

Either I am missing something or?

I've had this happen too - I think it randomly generates 3 events each time you back out to change cars and go back in to World Tour.

Yeah, it's kind of annoying that you have to scale them to do it - change the X size from 1 to -1 or whatever - especially since it doesn't work on groups, just individual pieces. I wish they'd fixed that in the move from 3 to 4, and I'd like to have a text editor that lets you use the on-screen Xbox keyboard to quickly add letters, instead of putting them on them one layer at a time. The vinyl editor is still an amazing piece of work, though, and I can't imagine Forza without it.

You can flip things on the x axis. Paste your group onto the side of a car, go to the other side and press A and select "insert from other side" and it will import everything from the other side but mirrored. Might work on the Y axis if you rotate it first.
