I still can't get the network errors to stop when I try to connect to people. I seem to be able to host fine. I tried DMZ'ing my stuff, but I'm on a weird setup (Router -> Airport Express -> Airport Express -> Xbox) and I don't know if I'm sticking the right things onto the DMZ.

Everyone, great news! The Goonbus has officially been part of 100 races! I think it may have actually even finished one or two of them as well!

Goddamn finally finished slammington Wish T10 had given us matte paint  But I think this is about the best I can do, lots of wasted layers though.I even managed to get it handling reasonably, its shared in SAEG too. I think maybe rather than weight reduction I should have stuck a turbo in instead.

Can you test drive other peoples cars out of the club garage? I put up a B500 Green, bumperless 65 Mustang with mostly handling upgrades. It understeers like an absolute pig though, unless you mash the throttle. So really, in that car you can choose to go off the corner rear end first or face first. Would love some advise on tweaking it

I put up a C-class civic in the LLJK garage that should be fairly competitive. Try it out.

I've never played any other Forza games and I thought I'd try something simple for my first paint job. I grabbed the Gulf logo from the storefront. The colors look weird on my computer...might need to edit them a bit.

 The Bernese Alps track is absolutely nuts in R1 cars. Ridiculously fast, but still wide enough in most places that you can actually make passes and get in some actual side-by-side racing. Easily one of the best tracks in the game by a longshot.

Huh, it's pretty cool that R class race cars have more upgrade options, namely tire width to allow them to reach the top of their PI class, which should make each of them much more useful. I had a good go of the McLaren #43 F1 and my god the drat thing is like a rocket.

Yeah I've been a huge fan of the T10 made tracks, especially the ones from the original game such as the Dockside (is that what it was called?), Long NY, Rio and Alpine Raceway. I'd kill for T10 to release them as DLC or something.

 Robertson Racing GT is the best R3 car, period. Also, really digging what longer shutter settings do to the flames.

It's probably the "invite club members" feature, it spams the entire club roster and every person in a lobby can do it. It's actually a great feature, it makes filling up the lobby that much easier, I just wish there was a way to enable some kind of optional "I want to play career/rivals mode for a while, don't send me invites" mode without straight up signing out of XBL.

You could turn off notifications in the guide menu. Had fun racing tonight, though I need to take a day or two and do some single player or rivals poo poo to farm credits. Any idea on how long it takes to get the bonus credits from buying both the LCE and Season pass?

ihop posted:Hey that's me at the beginning of the video doing pirouettes on my grill!  Usually you'd want something between -0.5° and -1.5°, depending on the car and setup. The point of camber is to keep the tyre surface flat on the road during cornering, due to the tyre "leaning over" if you exert lateral/sideways force on it. How much that happens depends mostly on the tyre width, sidewall height, air pressure, car weight, and, well, the amount of lateral force itself (which is higher on cars with downforce or slicks). While that all might sound somewhat complicated, it's actually easy to figure out how much camber is optimal, thanks to telemetry. Just open the telemetry screen that shows the live tyre camber. While driving in a straight line, both should be slightly negative. Now find some corners and drive through them at race pace (probably easier doing this on a replay rather than live on track). During a right turn the left front and rear camber should be close to 0°, and vice versa for a left turn. Camber is usually the easiest way to influence car balance - more "optimal/negative" camber at the front compared to the rear will make the car turn in better at the risk of oversteer, whereas more "optimal/negative" camber at the rear will stabilize the car by making it understeery. For RWD cars you'll generally want to have a car that tends to understeer, which can be compensated for by throttle/power oversteer. If the values stay firmly in the negative (which I'm pretty sure they will at -8°) then you're actually only using the insides of your tires, making them overheat, wear down faster and offer less grip overall. Besides that, the more you tilt the tires, the less grip you have available on acceleration and braking in a straight line, so it's all a balancing act. Similarly, toe-in should probably be somewhere between 0° and at most 1°, whereas on toe-out (if you want it at all) you should probably not go higher than 0.2°. Anything more will either make the car very unstable (toe-out) or massively scrub the tires at all times (toe-in) wearing down the tires and reducing top speed. You never want toe-out on the rear tires, btw. Caster is a part of the steering geometry that makes the front tires lean into the turn as you steer, so it basically affects camber dynamically in an overall good way; during turning, the outer wheel leans more into the corner, whereas the inner wheel straightens up. When using a high caster value you can reduce the front camber a bit as the caster effect compensates for it during turning, which frees up more grip for braking in a straight line. Usually it's put at around 5-ish degrees, but that's more of a "what feels/works best" kinda trial and error thing.
