citroen ds4 yay !
also the cockpit glitch is great, i had to uninstall the game (cars were loading too fast) but you dont need to clear cache, just selecting a different car gives you enough time to do the trick. Most interiors are amazing, they just lack better self shadowing and ambient occlusion (although some materials in older cars are weirdly 'luminous', completely ignoring global illumination and shadowing) and just as i thought, you can see that cars with "pop-up headlights" have them fully modeled under the hood, despite never being visible ingame (why didn't they include an option to have them showing in homespace at least ? duh) Which at least tells us cars were night-racing ready, maybe they really had to scrap night racing at some point.

Oops - I owe Turn 10 a bit of an apolgy.
A little while ago I complained about the audio bias, and my perception that environmental sounds (particularly the engines of other cars around me) were too muted. Turns out I had the sound balance set to 'Car' for some reason. I moved it back to Default this morning and the difference is night & day. No ideal how/when/why this happened, but... sorry Turn 10 - Forza 4 sounds great! |

So, I turned to the game to see if I could replicate the car and I must say, it went very well! Pretty much an absolute replica of the real thing... Good times.. BADNED, if I can ask, why haven't we seen any Group A race cars so far? |

I just spent literally hours trying to make this car usable in B-Class tonight. I found it so difficult to make the rear end play nicely.
 I read notes and tips from you guys, watched YouTube videos on tuning, just to brush up on my tuning knowledge. I was so convinced that this was just one of those 'untameable' beasts that I resorted to the storefront to find a tune just to be sure whether or not it was possible! I didn't like that tune either (even though it was most downloaded), but before I laid the pony to rest, I figured I would just throw together some parts (handling a priority) and quickly fiddle with the numbers in the settings to my best knowledge. To my shock, not only did this random (yet educated) combination produce a very stable tune, it also was almost 3-quarters of a second quicker (with my driving) than the storefront one and more so the one that I made using slave_munky's tuning spreadsheet! I could not believe it! A whole night wasted, when all it took was something slap-dash and random! Have any of you guys ever experienced anything ironic/quirky like this with tuning? |

In the end, the best way to learn about tuning is fiddling with shit yourself and find out what's what. One mans tune is another man's horror story. Ultimately, if it feels right for your driving style than go with it..

Not sure it's a genuine MOMO, though - not for £8 delivered (lol). Replacing the hollow plastic knob with a heavier metal one apparently makes a world of difference, according to folklore. I'll post some pics & impressions when it's arrrived and fitted. |

Yeah we've known about Motegi for some time now. Not the best track to release as DLC IMO, especially when they could have ported some of the awesome GT4 tracks instead. I'm still waiting for my George V or El Capitan redone for GT5, PD !
Although to be honest, I'd rather get more cars as DLC for GT5 but that's a debate for another thread. :)

Looks like the Challenger 392 is a FH promo car.
My guess : you'll get it if you pre-order FH, similar to the pre-ordering incentives for FM4. Would fit with BADNED's "you'll have to do something". Also, give me this as an upgrade in FM5 please ! :lol
