I probably should have entered something for the alps contest, it's the prettiest track for photomode (Camino Viejo is also nice). Indy is pretty boring by comparison

You do make some drat nice liveries, sir.

That DLC pack is tempting me much more than I thought it would. I wonder what the cost breakdown for buying individual cars is going to look like - because if it's like 2 bucks a car then I may as well bundle. If I'm gonna bundle up I may as well get the season pass, right?

Oh no - I've fallen into their perfectly laid out trap. :master:

I wish boardering for letters was easier, but this is as close as I can do for now. Things missing: hood pins, exhaust holes in the rear of the car, and that stupid bird decal on the rear quaters that I aint even gonna try.

To do borders on lettering relatively easily, group all of the text you want to border, stamp and bump it up and to the left a couple notches, stamp it and bump it down and to the right the same amount, and then if you need to, stamp it one more time and sizing expand it a couple digits vertically. Works easiest if you change the hue of the new layers and the transparency on the to-be-bordered text so you can see where the new layers sit exactly.

Well to be perfectly honest the kangaroo in the crest looks like a long cat with huge floppy feet as well so you can't be too far off.

Can anybody scan the QR code in the DLC trailer at about 00:20 seconds in? My phone seems to be having trouble with it.

Edit:
I decided to bite the bullet on the wireless speed wheel. Amazon was $10 off and BF3 gave me a $20 credit with them, so getting it half off wasn't too bad. I'll be sure to post my take on it.

Is this based on a real car? Because I could be wrong but I don't think Nissan would ever be spelled out like that. It would be in English letters or it would be 日産. :spergin:

Watching this video of Le Mans 1955 makes me wish there were more 50's race cars than the Aston and the Jag. Hopefully the Porsche 550 will show up again via DLC if they manage to sort out the rights. There was a Merc in that video too that had an airbrake, the idea of a car in the 50s having an airbrake is blowing my mind and would look awesome in Forza 4.

I want DLC that has more everyday cars. I want to have races on Fujimi Kadio with stock Ford Windstars.

I want more 70s Le Mans race cars. But the 50s work too.

Let me say that watching the aero work on the Bugatti Veyron SS tonight blew my freakin' mind. I knew they were implementing it this time, but since I usually race in-cockpit and haven't been racing against Veyrons, I had totally forgotten it. I decided to watch from the rear as I got the 241 mph achievement, and watching all the things that wing did was just awesome.

They have DTM, I'd love to see some BTCC cars make the cut too. Would.make for some awesome full field races.

We could have BTCC rules too, ie smash the poo poo out of anyone and be a dick in general on the race course.

Wait, that's just pubbie races.

Getting annoyed at the servers. Several times now--tonight included--I can join an invite, get the "connecting the lobby screen", hear other club members chatting, and then get booted out.

Revenant.Eagle: Oct 4, 2005; I know you think you thought you knew what you thought I said, but I'm not sure you understood what you thought I meant.

So are both car clubs full? Tried to join both and they both indicated they had reached maximum capacity. Any alternate clubs to join or should I just try again later?

# ? Oct 28, 2011 04:55

ANAmal.net: Mar 2, 2002; 100% digital native web developer

I think 50. You get a badge thing for 25, so it goes at least that high.

Try 50. Badge only goes up to 20 though.

Edit: gently caress, beaten.

# ? Oct 28, 2011 05:00

You start getting a crap load of money at level 10+ on those manufacturer affinities. So it pays to grind them out.

T1g4h: Aug 6, 2008; I AM THE SCALES OF JUSTICE, CONDUCTOR OF THE CHOIR OF DEATH!

Yeah, between manufacturer affinity and driver level after 50, the game just seriously piles on the cash like it's raining money. It owns.

# ? Oct 28, 2011 05:18

I'm glad it does, because there are some very expensive cars in this game, and i'm a big enough of a sperg that I want to collect all of them. Console racing sims are like Pokemon to me.

GT is AkGara, tagged with something like 1995 Skyline GT-R R33 LM LeMans, but as most goons, we also tag everything with LLJK

That reminds me, what's up with the storefront saying I got money but when I go to collect, it never gives it to me?

It's not at the moment but I can upload it to the store if you like!

Ak Gara, you need to hammer on the 'receive credits' button 5 or 6 times before it will give you your credits in the storefront. It did the in Forza 3 too and I'm baffled as to why they didn't fix it. Your GT-R LM is really nice by the way

drat. I saw an RUF Rt 12 R in the auction house with a pretty low buy out price but couldn't buy it because it's 'exclusive content'. Why even allow them to be put up if no one but an LE owner that already has it can bid on it? Or maybe no one can?

Do they ever drop the restrictions on LE cars?
