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.

I asked this a few pages back, but I guess it wasn't colorful enough, or it was a stupid question, so I'll risk asking it again. I'd like to race online, but I'm having problems concentrating on my line with other cars on the track. I'd rather not be "that guy" who runs into everyone or takes up the whole track :(. It's very easy for me to do a good hot lap by myself, but throw in any amount of cars, and I suddenly go wide and off the course. Does anyone have any suggestions for correcting this? I'm pretty sure it's just a mindset thing, but I've been playing this game since Forza 2 came out, and it's not getting much better. Maybe I'm just hopeless? Any advice?

I'm the same way - if I don't really watch myself, I'll sideswipe any fucker on the road. I compensate by being overly conservative in the first lap; braking really early, hanging at the back of the pack and letting anyone pass me by. Eventually, things settle down and I can let go a little more without wiping anyone else out. Usually, I'll get up to third or second just from calmyl passing the really agressive guys.
Against pubbies though, no mercy.

I'm having the weirdest loving bug. I can't start the Kaido hillclimb. The car just freerevs, but won't move. With both auto and manual transmissions too. Yet it worked the other day?

Are you using a wheel? My wheel will sometimes not recognize the gearbox and refuses to shift into gear. Restarting the wheel gets it going. If you're on the controller, I dunno what to tell you.

Is anyone else really frustrated with the update on the wheels? At first I thought it was more realistic, and my mediocre driving was becoming more apparent. But as I play, I get the sneaking suspicion that the rear ends shouldn't be coming out so easily and recovering from a slide is drat near impossible, even when I catch it early.

Anyone who made the switch have any tips on how to get used to the 3-pedal setup easier? Is the best way to simply play as much as you can?

Yeah, play often; it's the best way to get better at it. Also, make sure you're using the manual + clutch option, so you have a reason to use the third pedal.

e: Use the settings Falken posted up for me last page (I think it was last page), they are spot on.

Anyway, for the GoonSpec guys that are running tonite with the AI cars, what kind of PIs are you looking at? I've got a 2000 Cobra-R that I plan to run that's at a 545. Does that seem somewhere in the ballpark?

Do you just adjust the first 2 gears to take up the entire powerband, and ignore the other 4? I've always sucked at drag because of rowing through gears, if this is the way to do it, I might have to try it again.

Am i doing this "American iron" thing wrong? I took a stock 2002 trans am and did the math, with the horsepower the car makes and all the useless parts i can tack on (18 inch widest wheels) im still about 80 pounds away from the minimum weight, and cant install braking or chassis upgrades because that makes it even lighter. And with no anti rollbar upgrades or brakes im worried about my ability to race cleanly without taking fellow goon racers out.

320 X 11.4 = ~3700 pounds. All stock parts with giant wheels and bodykits (which make it much slower than stock, btw) only bring it up to 3630. Meanwhile someone in a C6 Z06 is going to cream me.

I'm running into similar issues with my Nova SS. The minimum weight seems really high.

Quoting this again because I'm running into similar problems on 3 different cars- the Nova SS, Plymouth GTX, and Pontiac G8. On the G8, with only the required parts installed, hp is 415 torques are 415 as well. Weight sits at 4133.

So 415 * 11.4 = 4731. There's no way I can fit 600 pounds onto this car.
