That one sounds way more hopeful. Fingers crossed.
EDIT: The person who said that was the one who was talking in relatively technical terms with the CPU stuff, so he seems to be a bit closer to the dev team than a PR manager.

I'm playing some multiplayer league races (introductory) and everyone is so much faster than me. We are all maxed out at Class D (400) yet by the end the leader is a half lap ahead, and I'm middle of the pack and still not able to cross the finish line before the timer runs out. Can someone explain to a Forza online noob like me?

Are the leaders using the 1965 Mini Cooper by any chance?
Your right. Looked him up, he's actually Voodoo (for some reason, I didn't look at his username!) or Christian Guirguis the Gameplay Engineering Lead for FM6. He also did a really detailed post on FFB Wheel Support for FM6

They're working on a fix for the sound btw.

No, I even bought one and upgraded it to D400 but it won't let me use it. Must be natively D class I guess. I don't even know what car I should be using to be halfways competitive in this league thing. Nice thing is, no collisions, everyone is a ghost.
What track were you running? You might have had a handling car for more of a high speed circuit. Also, the D-Class Mini Cooper is broken atm hence why they took it out of League play.
I've had success with a few cars in the D-Class League, the main ones being the 2001 Acura Integra Type-R and the 1990 Alfa Romeo SZ Sprint Zagato. But it's all down to your preference really and what type of track you're on.

Nope, it's still in there unless it randomly self-destructed after that V8 Supercars event I failed.
Nice! It's a great sounding car, can't wait.
Got distracted and went racing again. Already have a pretty decent assortment of cars and trucks.
Oh? I didn't see it in the OP. That's good, then! I'm still on the fence about picking this one up.

Just checked, it is indeed in the OP, just above Nurburgring:
If you're on the fence, then naturally I have to ask: have you played the demo?

Continuing on the discussion from the other thread about braking sensitivity etc. I've had the same issues with the braking feeling too sensitive as other people, strangely this wasn't an issue for me in Forza 5.
I've just been playing around a bit with brake pressure in the tuning menu and have some interesting results.
I just checked with my Maserati GranTurismo at A650 with roll bars, racing brakes/suspension, racing tyres with full width upgrade front and rear, and minor tweaks to ride-height and camber and here are the numbers:
100% Brake Pressure(default)
Braking Distance
97km/h - 0 = 36.8 metres
161km/h - 0 = 92.3 metres
71% Brake Pressure
Braking Distance
97km/h - 0 = 28.5 metres
161km/h - 0 = 75.3 metres
This thing was a pig to drive last night, now it feels much better. That's a big difference in braking distances, not sure if that's a bug or how it's supposed to work? It seems a bit extreme.
The trigger still feels way too sensitive though, you really have to feather it.
Note: I'm not a tuner's arsehole, so laugh away if this is normal. I tried the brake pressure tweak with my Ferrari 288 GTO @ B600 with similar results(even though it's on stock tyres), although it's best result was with brake pressure at 81%.
This enabled me to get a top 50 time on Hockenheimring with my own tune, (although there are only 1200 times up so far). However, I was having trouble with the GTO's braking/handling before the brake pressure tweak and slight adjustment to camber/toe-in, now it feels much better.
Feel free to add people to friends for Rivals/lap times/multiplayer etc

That's the first sentence in the OT.
Are you using ABS, or braking help?, how are you braking, trigger to locking point (strong rumble), or trigger all the way down?.
No, it's still ridiculous, sounds like someone being slapped in the face with a wet fish, can't believe more people haven't called it out.

You can sit in the rear jump seats of the Country Squire in Forzavista. Truly, we are in the next generation.

Anyone fancy a new paintjob?
Also, the old Red Bull Zonda, Martini La Ferrari and Apple Computer McLaren M23 are also up and ready for grabs, can't take pictures cause I don't own cars yet.

God I wish I had access to a one for this. Looks glorious, always feel like I'm missing out on the forza series. Enjoy, guys 
So some guy on reddit did 50 laps of the 'Ring and these were his rewards:

Horizon 2 has kept me busy since launch, and was hoping I'd be kept busy til H3. I probably will be, but I'm getting caught up in the F6 hype...
The hype is real. Easily the best Forza since 4, and probably better than 4 even.

If you mean a driving line assist that changes color depending on how fast you're going into corners, then yes. Forza's had this since at least FM2.

Don't bother with Forza 5, wait till you have money and get Forza 6.

I don't understand, why can't I take a car into the career mode that's been tuned up?
I'm not against have specific fixed spec series, but part of the Forza genre is taking your shitwick CRX to 200MPH in career mode.

That's insane. But pretty fun seeing all those rewards chime in. He wasn't the most lucky on those early spins though.
Ah, thanks. Thought so.
What is the point of the male / female driver option?
It's an option, however, it's not an option that is communicated to the player at all (unless you stumble upon the 'change driver' option), neither does it say what, if anything, it affects.
They really should have fleshed the option out and made it, even slightly, meaningful too the game, just feels like they are paying lipservice to making it an option for a female player.

It's a clever and convenient way to excuse the really awful Drivatar behaviour

Rewind completely bugged as well, sometimes works and sometikes doesn't.
Completely wrote off my car and no Y promot popped up and there was no option to do so even without the prompt.

I'm currently not using ABS and no braking help. Braking to locking point.
Awesome as usual HD!!! Will be looking for them all, I had loads of your previous ones and they all look really good!!
Yeah, it's one thing I miss too..
I used to love taking my Golf GTI into GT car races and leaving them for dust.. a 4WD 600HP Golf was a laugh..

Prompt can be switched on or off, it's not needed for rewind to work.
Were you trying to rewind close to the finish of a race? As you can't rewind right at the beginning of a race or close to the finish line on the last lap.

Thanks. I just realised I could just download Storm Island for now, while jealously but happily watching F6ers enjoy the game

Forza 5 download codes can be had for very little money now, so if you want to try the game it's not going to cost big money.
