Just sent out a couple more SAEG invites. Any of you guys fancy a bit of racing in a half hour?

Just picked up FM4 and having a blast. So thrilled I could change the controls around, I was worried for a second. LLJK is full, so Southpaw, you're my only hope.

GreatGreen: Jul 3, 2007; THIS IS HOW YOU REMIND ME OF WHAT I REALLY AM

When you load up the Top Gear mile long straight track, is the rest of the track physically blocked off or can you play around on it too if you want?

Maybe I should rephrase the question. Is it possible to load up the entire Top Gear track so that all parts of it can be driven on?

Do you guys care about cars with custom liveries (but otherwise basically stock) going into the club garage, or do you really want only performance-upgraded cars in there?

Is there a SA logo vinyl yet? I made the one people used in Forza 3, so I can get on it again if it doesn't already exist.

This game's beautiful, by the way. Simply beautiful.

Search for LLJK in the vinyl group storefront, I saw one or two logos in there.

Would probably need a thread in PGS and an xbox username to sa forums username mapping. And a club leader with the energy to boot anyone who doesn't get verified.

I agree with that; I'd hate to lose my spot to some random pubbie.

Enter your GT and it will show you which friends on your xbl friends list have it.

Edit: I will be on sometime soon and chat with you about this on xbl or send you a message.

Pudgygiant: Apr 8, 2004; Worth it

Taking a vote, would the ka be better or worse if I actually made it driveable? I like that it levels the playing field for the most part by being a greased marble on a glass track but I think it could actually be useful / great at trolling if it wasn't so shittastic.

I applied a little bit ago to GISH, GT: iiInsist. I don't think I can race online though because I'm behind a university firewall, which means strict NAT.

However, this game is still loads of fun just playing offline, challenging rivals and doing the world tour.

Assuming you mean the R3 version, in which case, it's hilarious fun as is. But it seems to be bordering on greatness. Make it just a little bit more driveable, just don't ruin how batshit insane it is.

Working on a project to reproduce my car ingame (not that hard really), and learning how to use the livery editor to make really neat designs. Looking for a tutorial on the advanced aspects of the editor online.

Though it's online, I've also created a sort of rally-style multiclass time attack ruleset.

I just crosschecked the spreadsheet from the first post vs club leaderboard of the Alps A Class intro race. A good 30 or so of the names never posted their SA Name/Tag to the ForzaGoons google-sheet. So - not sure what anyone wants to do about it at this point. Seems a tad unfair to those that were excited back from the last thread.

Of course I recognize many names in the list as goons obviously, christ - even some of the leaders of the Club aren't on it ...

Is there a way to see who's been online in the club last? If it is possible, just wait it out and people will eventually start to get bored of the game.

Yeah - in a month or so I doubt there will be more than 100 active players - especially with it being AAA game season. Only thing that doesn't stop is the worry that we're being invaded by pubbies looking for "glory"

The solution to them is simply more Goon Bus

GISH seems to be gaining momentum so I'm sure everyone will be having proper funtimes either way.

Stumbled across this in an AI thread, thought it sounded kind of neat and might be of interest to the car folk around here.

http://automationgame.com/

automationgame.com posted:

In the upcoming game Automation you will be placed in control of a newly founded car company starting in the post-war era of 1946. You will be responsible for designing your cars from scratch - from the chassis and the engine to its body styling. Your goal is to meet the needs of different markets and various types of buyers. You will need to research new technology to keep ahead of your competitors and expand your company.

While there have been numerous great racing games focused on the thrill of racing, there have been very few about the cars themselves. This is where Automation is different.

Not only will you get the freedom to design cars that look how you want, but you will also be responsible for the technical aspects such as creating your own engines. Benchmark your creations and watch their components in action while you are provided with realistic specifications and performance figures.
Easy to understand descriptions will help you optimise your car, even without prior car knowledge.

There have been several car company games made before, but we feel that they never reached the depth that car enthusiasts have wanted.

It actually looks pretty impressively complex and more than just a spreadsheet micromanagement game. Would be awesome to see things like this in future Forza titles, too.

Does anyone have a decent link to a simple spreadsheet for keeping track of lap-times on each of the tracks? Even an old one for FM3 would be super cool.

Only thing I can think of is human error. Are you positive you didn't miss a restriction?
