The secret transfer car is the HKS Time Attack Evo, so you should add that to the OP.

the HKS evo is a (maybe transfer) unicorn. The secret transfer car is the DMC delorean.

From BADNED's list on Forza Central (most accurate):

"2006 HKS Time Attack Evolution CT230R [Unicorn / Buy in Auction House]"

People with an early copy said the secret is the DeLorean on neogaf.

I read the Evo on the Forza forums, so now I'm just all kinds of confused.

Cannot find server gifted me an LfA because he is awesome, however it shows up in the game as a "missing content ". The ultimate edition pack isn't for download on xbl, so am I pretty much sol?

There is a sample pack that you can download and it will make the car visible. You will not be able to drive it, but it *might* import over to Forza 4, although I've read conflicting reports as to whether it will or not.

I bought a new Xbox so I can actually play this thing, finally. The only cars I need off the list in the OP are the LF-A and the 69 Camaro SS. Could anyone help me out with those?

I can throw an LF-A your way, but make sure you either have the Ultimate Pack sample or the Stig pack; otherwise, it'll show up as missing content. And as already noted, I really don't know if it'll transfer to Forza 4 if you don't actually have the Stig pack.

With the Camaro, you're very likely SOL. You can't trade Unicorns, and I don't see Turn 10 giving any out anymore.

I don't see the stig pack or ultimate pack on xbl. The only thing I see is a trailer for the ultimate pack. Anyone got a link for either?

You can't buy either; only download a sample, but that's all you need to get the LF-A in your garage. The only way to get the actual packs is either by winning the Stig Pack (which contains the LF-A, the 550 and some lovely Merc) or buying the game all over again (gently caress THAT).

That aside, did any of the previous Forza's have an Ariel Atom, even as DLC? Wanna drive that car.


Due to the way Turn 10 models cars and their suspension, this is an impossibility right now. Maybe in Forza 5.

Yes...Ha ha ha...YES!



Brownie posted:

Really? Any details or anything? That actually sounds like an interesting read. I wouldn't think it would be an issue but maybe I've no idea how the Atom's suspension works.

I just remember discovering that thing in PGR3 and it being the best part of that game.

Basically, Turn 10 doesn't model suspensions is what it comes down to. This is really obvious on certain cars in Forza 3, like the 250 TR which is almost open-wheel up front; where the suspension should be is just blank nothingness instead. They've posted about this on their blogs quite a few times, responding to fans demanding the Atom and Caterham 7 be added.

Aug 13, 2008

Brownie posted:

Right, but why do they refuse to do so? Is it because they don't want to animate anything or is it the complexity or what? If they're just laser scanning all their cars then they wouldn't really be able to do that with the atom, so if that's the case it makes sense.

I imagine it comes down to hardware. Suspension components would be pretty resource-intensive if they wanted to model them properly to fit with the rest of the game, and given that they've already had to make some pretty significant compromises in Forza 4 (i.e. no night racing) to make the game run smooth and look good, it just doesn't seem like they could pull it off. Remember, the 360 is very old by console standards, and I'm sure that Forza 4 is already pushing the old bastard to it's limits.

Forza 5 on the Xbox 720 will (hopefully) not run into these limitations.

So does anyone know if unicorns (or locked cars in general) can be shared in the car clubs? Seems like a bunch of dudes here wanna drive the 69 Camaro SS, which I have and would gladly share, but they're locked in Forza 3 and so cannot be gifted. I'd like to set up some kind of Unicorn sharing thing so we can all drive all the Unicorns without needing to get them all individually (took me over a year just to get the three in Forza 3), but I've not read anywhere saying that they can or cannot be shared.

I really hope that they can...

This is gonna be the best thing for dicking around, although I am a bit disappointed that they put an actual ball in; I like having a car as the 'ball' in 3. Granted this was mostly because by the time we'd get around to car soccer I'd be too drunk to do anything anyway, so I was always the ball so I didn't have to try and do things, but still :v:

Front engine, RWD muscle cars only. Then we could recreate the redneck figure 8 racing we have around here.

Same here. We should have a NoobGoons club or something because I sure as hell don't need to be taking up one of 100 slots in a club that's got people ranking in the top 10%.

I think it'd actually benefit you dudes more to be in a mixed club. Good tunes by guys who know how to tune cars can go a long way to helping you get faster, and having more experienced racers to explain racing techniques and to follow around the track is invaluable. Hanging out with faster racers will inevitably help you get faster, even if you're a true blue newbie who has no idea about anything in racing sims.

Just don't expect me to be any of these, because I'm still prone to embarrassingly dumb mistakes and poor racing techniques despite being someone who should know better by now, and I still can't tune anything past D class.

Yeah, they really did fix the hell out of the PI system. AWD cheater cars are properly costed now, so you can't get top tier handling and speed in addition to their insane launches.

Yeah, while there's a lot I really love about this game, this is so far my favorite part. I can be just as competitive in a heavy, burly muscle car as I can be in a nimble little Ferrari or an AWD Subaru, and that's AWESOME. And I don't even like muscle cars!

On a totally unrelated note, the Esprit is a loving baller car and everyone should own one and drive one any chance they get.

What do the colors on the Select Event Grid mean?

e: Also, is there any sort of structure to how the races are organised horizontally and vertically?

Grey means you have no eligible car for an event, blue means you do but aren't in it, green means you're in a car eligible for that event.

They are mostly structured by type. You'll have one column of Euro Tour and going up or down in that column means going up or down in class, as an example. This doesn't hold true for all of them though; the first few 'chunks' of events aren't organized in any particular fashion.

After doing the Veyron challenge, and passing class E cars at 200mph, i've fully realized the awesome sense of speed that this game is capable of conveying.

We did some multi class racing at Camino Viejo the other night. Half in F class, half in R1. I was in an R1 car and caught a few F class dudes in the downhill run to the hairpin, and oh my god it was loving terrifying. The sens of speed in this game really is amazing, and at narrow tracks like that, it's insanity.

On that note, we need to do more R1 and F class racing because it's as fun as it is scary.

I remember I used to have Lamborghini Countach posters all over the my walls when I was young. They ALWAYS had several of them for sale each year at the school book fair.

While the car looks very 80's, I still love it.

The Countach looks pretty badass, I gotta agree. Too bad it drives like plain ol' rear end, though. When I drove it in Forza 2, I thought that they must've gotten the handling all wrong until I did more research about the car and found out that no, it really does suck.

The Espada is my favorite Lamborghini, but it's probably never going to be in a game. It probably also drives like rear end as well, so no big loss I guess.
