Whats the max size flash drive you can use? I've got a 20gb hdd and i've got like 2.2 gig left with pretty much only forza installed.

Up to 16 gig are supported. At least that's what it was at the start, don't know if they increased that in on of the later dashboard updates. I think not though.

Welp. Count me out for multiplayer for a while guys. Account got stolen and, while I did manage to recover thanks to the fine folks at support, they've temporarily suspended it while they investigate and work on getting back the $125 the hacker spent through my PayPal on 10k MSPoints.

So, I've got my account back, but no more multi for a while. On the plus side, i've already filed disputes with PayPal over both charges and i've changed all of my info and passes so hopefully it doesn't get compromised again. Hopefully none of you guys get hit, since apparently it's not a phishing thing so much as a widespread brute-force thing :shobon:

They might not know where exactly it is coming from. Some say it is brute force, some say it is some sort of exploit with some other company. It shouldn't be too hard to add a lockout to the login screen. Bad password five times, you're locked out for an hour.

I wanna see how many of the hacked accounts belonged to people who had PSN accounts and used the same password across both. But obviously didn't think of changing the Xbox one.

Steam Guard is a pretty nice implementation.. assuming you protect your email account sufficiently.

Would like to see more online services do something similar, basically means a crook has to crack two accounts to get anything.

Watch the madness!

The second the account hacking became known as an epidemic I switched auto-renew off my account and moved to using cards only. Same price, little fuss (free shipping or on the way home pickup), no lockout worries. I keep a "buffer" of MS points for DLC.

Also a maximum length password of random poo poo helps.

Really, though, MS needs to figure this poo poo out, stat. It's obscene. They don't give you a gold account?!

My Gmail account shared the same password as my PSN account and I forgot what my PSN password was as I hadn't used my PS3 in like 2 or 3 years. Account got hacked, gmail discovered it quickly and locked it out for me to sort out quickly.

Since then, everything I have a password for is a different password.

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. I've already done the whole password required for every login and the passcode, too.

Email them and ask for a store credit (or partial credit anyway) on another of their accessories, they usually seem pretty receptive to that kind of request when prices change and your only mistake was supporting them recently before the change.


And to ISCI!: BUY IT! Go go go go! Remember the feeling of "Holy poo poo, the game is actually... letting me have fun?" you had when you first got into Forza after Grind Turismo 5? Now multiply that joy a few times just by adding the wheel - which also works with GT if you feel like going back. And PC games.

I just bought the pedals and wheel a couple weeks ago, they're pretty awesome now that I'm figuring out how to drive with them(and I can finally try out PC sims!) but sucks about missing the sudden price drop. I'm hoping they'll drop the price of the shifter or replace it with something nicer at some point soon, $60 was a little pricey for me, though I'd definitely go for it with that package deal

I stole someone's idea of using shoes as inspiration for a livery, and this is what I came up with:




I tried changing the colors up, and I think the car works best with colored rims:


Ready for Wednesday, though the final product has red rims;


I've got the red one up on my storefront (search lljk or gtcc), but if you want it in a different color (or the rims actually colored), let me know and I'll be glad to send one your way.

I don't have a setup right now because I am in the middle of a relocation to Northern Canada, but in a couple weeks time I wanted to start hosting or atleast setting up some endurance races with some themes that interest me:

Longer races, say 45 minutes or so minimum, maybe an hour. It would be nice to have pit strategy become a factor, I'm not sure if accelerated tire wear and fuel usage are possible...


Race Themes:

Australian V8 Supercars versus Nascars
Pony Car Wars! (Any year Mustang, Camaro, Challenger, AMC ?)
Trans-Am races (multi class racing, sub 2.0L and Over 2.0L vintage cars)

It looks identical to the other one but has less power and weighs a tiny bit less.

Also I noticed that the rampage dodge thing is actualy a widebody, might be pretty cool when ive got rid of those horrible wheels.

I dunno it feels pretty easy to drive in comparison with the diesels, especialy once you de-restrict them and they have enough torque to shift the earth.

This car seriously sounds amazing. It's great having it in Forza 4, because the one in Gran Turismo 5 is very inaccurate, it just doesn't sound right at all, and that's half of what makes the 787B so awesome.

So I decided to give the blinged out Bentley Conti GT a spin to see just how much they screwed it up, and immediately noticed that under braking the car won't turn much and makes a shuddering sound like you were driving over rumble strips. It wasn't till I looked down and saw the tach jittering everywhere that I realized the front tires were rubbing on the insides of the wheel wells.

The best part is that it costs more than twice as much as the SuperSport, which is better in every concievable way.

Rampage's Challenger seems to handle surprisingly decent, most likely because of the fat as hell rear tires and wider stance, but I think the car as the same gearing and brakes as a stock Chally which sort of cancels it out. Might be a worthwhile tuner project if anyone can be bothered.


Also, the 787b sounds utterly amazing, especially going through a tunnel.
