I havent made it into multiplayer yet other than rivals, but the sense of speed is spectacular, and so far to me the biggest noticeable change from 3. I love the way most of the cars when you get them from the level rewards is as close to a pi level as possible so i can just jump in and race. It makes my races against the cpu more competitive because if I build the car up its game over. My A-class Stingray is rediculous fun to drive, and it is in the LLJK garage, as is my fabulous Chevy Spark. After I build up the garage a little more and at least have a car in every class I like I will hop on some multiplayer this weekend and do some goon racing.

TeffaBob posted:So, I've got an xbox 360 slim 4gb(won it from burger king last year, woohoo). This game has convinced me that I finally need a hard drive for it. I've basically got just enough room for the disk 2 install, but not enough for the DLC that it came with. If I do get one, do I have to start over or will the save still be there from(what I'm guessing) the onboard storage? As far as I have seen the 4gb is onboard flash memory and your harddrive slot is empty. So installing a MS harddrive, or some other workaround, should really just add storage to your xbox and not delete or overwrite what you already have.

I will check some rivals again tonight, but I was top in 4-5 of them wednesday night when i was done playing. I got a lot of invites last night on my traditional Halo reach night, and I plan on playing quite a bit this weekend. I am trying to fill my garage a little before hosting some races, although I am pretty much setup for every class except A. I hate S class but will probably do some of that just for the insanity.

xzzy posted:Only Turn 10 can put cars there. They made it way to easy to make money anyhow. For example, getting 100% free upgrades after level 4 affinity with a car company,(although I like it meaning something unlike the last game) and most of the level reward cars a pretuned to the highest PI of its stock version. So I can dick around and not buy a single car or upgrade and make it through all of the world tour. Dont get me wrong, I like me some forzabucks, but its a little obnoxious to have to set a car back to default and then buy the parts I actually want, even though at that point they are probably again free.

GreatGreen posted:Pardon my unlimited ignorance, but how would you even go about simulating gear changes in a one speed transmission car anyway? Wouldn't the rate of wheel spin directly correspond to the RPMs of the engine at all times? Does the engine just kind of temporarily cut the power to the wheels and do some squirrely RPM rate song and dance or something before resuming back to exactly where it was before? Instead of constantly varying, it picks a ratio and sticks with it until higher rpms and then switches to another ratio to imitate an upshift. So instead of switching between 6 gears, it has 6 set ratios that it just changes between. Just like Einteir pointed out, this negates the advantages almost completely of the CVT.

Boaz MacPhereson posted:You must've had something figured out because your best lap was about 2 seconds ahead of me. What was your average, about 2:10? I ended up going with Logue's tune after trying again last minute to fix mine. My fastest during the race was 2:09.445 and I was around 2:10 until the tires were 10 laps old, then it dropped back into the 11's. It was a fun race and I look forward to next week. I will post a couple pictures here of my car tonight, I dont think I can save the design since i used other peoples vinyls, and I didn't have a number on the hood or bumper so I probably dont qualify for the paint award due to giving the finger to the rules.

Idiot race posted:The closest youll get are the buddyclubs in fm3, the k-1 is pretty much an old buddyclub design anyway. Which might be why they arent included, also this might be why there are no watanabe 8-spokes idk. I feel like if they were worried about overlap/copies of other wheel designs they would have left Rota's out completely since every one of their wheels seems to be a cheaper copy of someone else's design.

Falken posted:I would have preferred less races but give all the races more laps. 3 laps isn't enough to get into your groove. It is funny because a lot of people complained about the longer races in 2 and 3. Most of the time you end up out in the lead and its a 6 lap time trial. I see it both ways i guess, and prefer the shorter races because online provides better competition and thats when more laps is needed. Of course this is all IMO.

I stopped in at Best Buy to pick up some compressed air today and played a little bit of NFS Rush that they had on display. Now I dont know if it was the lovely Sony tv they were using, but that game looks like garbage. I know not to expect too much from NFS games, but really, it looked bad. Glad i did not spend the money this year on their game. On another note, I havent seen Jabs around lately, or i have not been checking enough, but is there a regular goon car race wednesday thats not the GTCC guys? The last one we had was fun, but knowing car specs more that a day in advance helps guys like me who cannot tune.

I am an RX8 fan, I even own one, but I do not think the addition of the R3 was really necessary. There wasnt a horsepower boost, maybe the suspension was slightly updated, it was mainly just a facelift, hardly needing to be inserted into the game. That being said I dont think it is a complete dud, and the pack as a whole looks really good.

I said come in! posted:If there's ever a GT6, I hope they copy a lot of Forzas accessibility. That's one of my favorite things about FM4, is being able to drive any car at any time and once I can actually afford to have it in my garage, not having to wait to purchase it. The standard cars really ruined GT5, since they made up so much of the car list. By the time there is a GT6, we are going to be on Forza 6 squared. There are definitely things about both games that would make the opposite better, but I got tired of playing the same game(GT) over and over again. The Multiplayer and customization parts of Forza make it the game for me, and I do not see anything changing that in the near or even far future.

For the Goon series I just built the RX8 quick with the correct mods, I hope, and aero and ran a 1:17:470 with a quick tune. Ill try a non aero tune too, although a couple of those cresting sweepers probably need the aero. My Pi is 450 and i have no engine mods and weigh 3101, so I hope thats all kosher for the tune. Ill even gift and rx8 with the same specs for inspection if need be.

Psycho Society posted:We're using a weight to hp ratio of 9.55 on the rx8 now. I will double check when I get home, but I have no power adders and weigh 3100lbs right now. So I should be good. Is my Pi vastly different than what you all are coming up with?

Fortuitous Bumble posted:When I set up an RSX it came out around 550ish. I tried messing around with the Evo X with the same restrictions and the PI was around the same, maybe slightly higher. It sounds like you still have the stock power and weight configuration though, I believe the way this is set up you should have some room to add power or reduce weight a great deal. Ya so I guess I read through it way too quickly and have a lot of room left... So ill change it and see how crazy it feels. Ya for more tuning. Plus I may clean up my design a little tonight, although it is so tedious it drives me crazy.

Even with the 9.55 multiplier I only have 324 horsepower and a pi of 517 or something around there. Maybe im doing something wrong, but I am in the 1:14.xxx range for lap times. Maybe thats a better scale? I dont know what the answer is, but im sure as heck no where near 550 pi, unless I try adding weight back in and adding hp.

I dont mind extreme, but depending on attendance, it's so big it's just going to turn into everyone hot lapping by themselves. The main turn I have problems with, especially with cold tires is the last cresting left hander before the finish line. The two downhill rights I do not really have to many concerns with.

Thanks for the comments guys, makes up for me getting stuck behind everyone on the inevitable first turn wreck, and considering I was at a 50 PI disadvantage, Ill take third I guess. I was catching those drat evo's at the end, just ran out of time.

Did anyone else have problems with the photo uploader to Forza's site last night? I tried a couple times so I could display the Paintjob minus stickers for the Genesis I will be racing wednesday, but it would never update the pic on my profile. I might tweak it a little more, but since I have no idea what anyone else is running, I probably should not care.

Boaz MacPhereson posted:The aero didn't affect my handling all that much. I overcooked a couple corners here and there, but that was mostly dumbassery on my part. My top speed was completely neutered though. I was running 119 mph in 4th gear on the start/finish straight. Ugh. My aero was slowing me down from originally 143 on the front straight to 136. In total it slowed my lap times by 3-4 seconds. It was a good race, and ill post pictures if the drat uploader ever decides to work for me again.
