So, I remember all the awesome fun I had with goons in Forza 2, kinda missed out on the antics with Forza 3, but want to get back in with things in Forza 4. Added my name to the spreadsheet, gt is Swedespeed740. Sorry to say, I'm already a member of another club, but they're not doing much outside of rivals mode. Getting the itch to do some online racing, so feel free to add me/drop me an invite. Also wanted to share this video showcasing Forza's advanced AI  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LuIwuxwpStg

Okay, not to sound completely ignorant, but what does this mean and how can I do it to my router so I can get back into racing? I've missed like the last four or five GTCC races because I can't connect for crap. edit: content: I'm loving the ABC's when I can connect to a race. It's almost better with stupid pubbies as it presents that extra challenge. Though I could do without the ones who try to ram anyone passing them when driving in the lower classes.

Cojawfee posted:What kind of router do you have? Usually the settings for DMZ are around port forwarding somewhere. Give your 360 a static IP and you type that IP into the box for setting something in the DMZ. NAT you might not be able to do anything about, it all depends on how lovely your ISP is. If your ISP doesn't have enough IPs for their users, then you will be stuck behind a NAT (maybe several). I've got a Belkin G-wireless Model# F5D7234-4 v4 if that means anything to you. I'll dick around with it today see what I can do, but I've had awful luck with static IPs on a wireless router. Cojawfee posted:And regarding forza, anyone else notice that cars bought with tokens show up as gifts? Cars I get for free from Turn10 show up as cars I got normally, but cars I buy with tokens show up as gifts with one owner (me). This is a bit annoying. I think the reason for token cars = gifts is to prevent people buying up cars with tokens, selling in game, and having a massive fortune that way. The Turn10 gift cars don't show up as gifts, because they learned about midway through the Forza 3 gift cars that not everyone wanted/liked the gift car, so they'd send either one or both gift cars as "not gifts" so the recepient could sell it and buy something else. They also do this so that if schmo A buys the new DLC pack he can use the money to get a cool car from that, but if schmo B doesn't buy the DLC he won't have a completely useless block of text saying 'you need to buy DLC'.

Hello Spaceman posted:If you're assigning a static IP just make sure that it's out of the DHCP range. That should prevent any conflicts. There's no other reason for any problems. I just turned DHCP off. I had put the XBox on a static IP out of the range, but it didn't work. Wasn't until after I turned DHCP off that I realized I needed the DNS info on the XBox to be manual as well. But that's okay, there's only at most four devices connected to that router (1 desktop wired in, 1 laptop wireless, my xbox, and a kindle). Not enough of a bother to screw around with the DHCP stuff until I move out again. Maybe if I get bored during my time of gainful unemployment I'll fix it. But for now, I've got it set up, I think. Will have to see if I can connect to the GTCC race tomorrow night.

Ha, apparently I put the wrong secondary DNS server on my XBox and was running around figuring out why nothing wireless was connecting. God I hate screwing with routers. So now I have DHCP turned on again, but I have the Xbox outside it's range. So far I've had to reset the router everytime I want to connect, but perhaps fixing the secondary DNS server will fix that. If not, I'll be back for more help. Also, I find it hilarous that the banner ad sitting above while I type this says "PEOPLE WHO KNOW CARS!" with a 2012 Toyota Corolla.

quackman posted:That began happening to me about a week or two ago. For the most part I dealt with it by just not doing rivals for a while then going back in to find it working temporarily again somehow. Today I got sick of it so I gave my xbox a static IP address and DMZed it and I have not had the problem again. I've gotta ask about this agian. I've DMZed my XBox, static IP, port forwarded (not sure if I did that right, though), and may have done something else, I forget... Anyways, everytime I turn on my XBox, I need to reset/plug-unplug the router in order to connect. It'll run beautifully, but after a while the router will just disconnect me, and I have to reset/plug-unplug again. I'd like it to not do this, as I'm not the only one who uses the internet and I don't want to be resetting everyone's connection every 2 - 3 hours just to get one thing to work. To note, I have a wireless router, can't hook it in directly as my modem/router is upstairs on one end of the house, while my XBox is in the basement at another end of the house. I always have had terrible luck with static IPs on a wireless router

Perhaps on a track like Sunset Penninsula? That seems the closest to the Daytona sportscar track from what I can tell. Maybe the Grand Am Koni Challenge? The rules should be readily available, if not, they're similar to some of the higher end SCCA stuff, I believe. I also have the Grand Am and Koni Challenge decals, so if anyone needs one, I can send them out.

Idiot race posted:I could see why at daytona, dont they reach pretty high speed on the banking? I guess you wouldnt want to have an accident on the oval part at high speed in an open top prototype. Not sure about into the banking, as you're coming off the infield before NASCAR 1-2 and coming out of the 'Bus Stop' chicane before NASCAR 3-4. I do know they hit some pretty decent speeds on the back stretch and the tri-oval before braking for those sections as well. Granted, the superbikes use a slightly different infield course which cuts out NASCAR 1-2 altogether, but still uses 3-4. However, if you have enough of a group of cars together, it can be easy to 'collect' other cars in wreck when running on the main NASCAR circuit, and last thing you'd need, I suppose, is an open-topped car managing to find itself underneath another car.

Same price, little fuss (free shipping or on the way home pickup), no lockout worries. I keep a "buffer" of MS points for DLC. I switched off auto-renew and bought a 3 month card, but I didn't let the membership expire before putting it on, so it still wouldn't let me remove the card, saying it was "applied" to the pre-paid membership. I finally got off my lazy rear end and got one of those Visa gift cards with $20 on it and removed everything else. All this hacking is too hard to just ignore.

Basically I buy whatever I want to paint next and I still have about 15 million or so in the bank, it works out pretty well. I don't have any of the uber expensive cars though, the only one that's really tempting is the Daytona coupe. I'd like to make more money out of the storefront, but it gets discouraging when my most popular design has sold something like 20 copies since October. Also doesn't help when it seems that half the design community on Forza's forums are conspiring to have all their designs free as a way of pointing out hackers and copy cats or some nonsense. It's also annoying to find out someone else makes a similar design, but of poorer quality and charging more and they've got more

fuckpot posted:I hate to be 'that guy' but I have noticed a lot of people mentioning features saying it is the last thing that Forza needs to be the perfect race-sim. Those features haven't been weather or night-racing. Now I have read a big chunk of this thread and haven't really seen it talked about that much. The lack of weather and night-racing was the reason I didn't buy this one and just stuck with Forza 3. If multiplayer was a big drawcard for me then I probably would have bought it for that, but still whined and moaned about the lack of rain and floodlights. It's almost as though you guys are okay they left it out and for them to leave it out in future releases. Why is that? We're all big car nerds, and we would all love night racing & weather. We're just not going to go on about it until we're blue in the face. Also, not everyone feels that night/weather is the thing, and that there are other features that they feel are more important or immediate. Personally, I'd love to see race flags, and the ability to qualify or practice before races.

FreelanceSocialist posted:To the vast majority of Forza players, a "selection" of F1 cars is what Gran Turismo's "selection" of Skylines is to us. They'd be much better off with an Ariel Atom, a Lotus T125 or a 2-Eleven, a Caterham Seven or r500, KTM X-Bow, etc. What about an Allard J2X Mk. II? I'd love to see some F1 cars, but I can see where Turn 10 maybe hesitant, as it seems there's a good chunck of people who've become Forza fans with 4, but aren't really car people. I was talking with a friend of mine from college and he mentioned a friend of his not understanding why there was "some crummy Alfa" in the new DLC. But there's more to open wheel race cars than just F1. There's also Formula Ford, the Mazda series, IRL & Cart, etc. I'm sure there's plenty of people who'd like to drive Danica Patrick's car, while trying to feel superior to NASCAR fans. That being said, I'd love to see more Grand Am cars. I thought there were one or two in Forza 3, but I don't think they made it into 4 (probably because one was a Porsche, iirc).
