This is one for someone who has the game, but you dont always start at the back of the grid do you? I dont mind fighting my way to the front but sometimes its a pain when you only have 2 laps or so.

LunaticAngel posted:Curse you US people and your 3 day earlier release date! This wait is going to kill me. Thankfully, Game usually gets pre-orders to my door on release day, and I have a day off next Friday. Just a pity my post doesn't normally turn up till 2pm+. Do game ever ship early? I pre-ordered the lce from them also, if not im going to have to ignore this thread on tuesday.

Captain Hair posted:Can anyone tell me what this is supposed to be about? Its like they just sent me an email to remind me I pre-ordered it? Is this confirmation that they havn't cancelled my order? It doesn't actually have any new info in it, its just a review of my order, which for some reason they have sent to me again? I've got exactly the same e-mail, i'm assuming it means that they havent canceled the order? idk On another note i've just got 3 more endurance races and I will have finished fm3, then I can proceed to cry that everyones faster than me in the demo.

A5H posted:How many codes should be with my LCE?! I only see 3? This is what I noticed also, no code on any of the emails from game either. I'm hoping the pre-order code might be e-mailed tommorow seeing as the games not 'out' yet idk. Also this game is phoenomenal, apart from the loving lovely boring flat topgear track with stupid tiny coned corners after massive straights and playing hunt the loving tiny apex. gently caress the topgear track its the worst gently caress it im not bitter or anything. I havent even started career yet but i've spent allot of time trying out different cars in the free mode. Also has the europe club been setup yet?

Haak posted:Game (UK) preorders crew, I just got an email for the pre-order bonus car code. I know some people were confused that they only got the other 3 codes with the game. I checked this morning but nothing, i'll have to check later if i've got mine. I didnt realise the 037 was rwd, for some reason I thought it was AWD, but im getting it confused with the delta s4. God I would love the delta S4 in forza, such an utterly mental car.

Munko posted:Quite a fun car to drive, that! Unbelievably twitchy using a controller though. Rivals mode is most certainly going to be the cause of many late nights for many people. Its suprisingly fun to drive and I always quite liked infineon from the GT4 days. The kicker is those two corner sequence where there are gently caress all brake markers. On another note the SC300 is awesome for skidzzzzz  Imma put this in the club garage for A5H to try and tell me its terrible

A5H posted:Basically, on that, there's a degree of camber on the front. Degree of toe out on the front. Slightly reduced caster. Stiffened up everything with no bias towards a softer back. As low as possible. Increased diff lock. Higher pressure tyres on front to reduce snap oversteer and that's pretty much it I think. Wait I thought increasing caster was better for turnin, it definitely helped irl when I got adjustable caster arms but my cars not a skid car.

Cojawfee posted:You don't have to tune anything. Just get sports parts that don't require tuning. Drive the car stock around whatever track you want to test on. Does the car feel too slow? Add more power. Is the car sliding all over the place? Suspension and tires (don't forget about roll bars). Multiple parts can affect one aspect of the car (suspension, tires, roll bars, camber and others all affect how well you can corner). So learn how to tune one part, and use that. Start learning how to tune other parts. The setup spreadsheet is a good place to start with springs and dampers, also it has a gear spreader thing that seems to work well for me. To be fair you are right about most of the lower class prize cars being allright, its just me being fussy.

AwwJeah posted:As a general rule is it a good idea to have wider, larger tires in a rear engine vehicle and smaller tires in the front? Allot of RWD/Midengine/Rearengine cars have staggered tyres. However you dont want to have too narrow a tyre in front compared to the rear or it will get understeery. Unless your dragracing where you can just have skinny fronts and widewide rears.

How the gently caress do you do these topgear bowling things, the score is stupidly high for some reason. Somehow i'm having problems getting enough points with a 500bhp hummer on slicks.

Cojawfee posted:Keep in mind that for some stupid reason there is no rewind in test drive mode. Maybe it's because it doesn't record a ghost, who knows. It's just really frustrating to be testing my car, mess up a corner, damage everything and then have to restart with cold tires Hmmm I tried knocking as many as possible one section at a time but I ended up using something awd and keeping my speed up as high as possible which seemed to work better.
