I was testing the trigger deadzones in windows 10 the other week and my launch controller will be fully 'pressed' at about 80% and it took about 20% before it would even start to register anything.
They could be better for sure, that deadzone needs to be 10% or at least tweakable inside forza 6 itself.
My most annoying thing is that my left analog stick has taken a shit and will keep pulling left randomly, the stick itself feels fine but the sensor inside it has gone to whack.

They can be changed in FM5, they go from virtually useless at default to slightly manageable when maxed out.
I am hoping that the Elite controller isn't anywhere near as bad.
Yep, one of my first complaints when the game was released.
Ok just went ahead to confirm it for myself.
When you start a race it starts you at 118F on your tires, after a full lap of Prague in a A700 512 TR it reached 225F and then maintained 230F with spikes into 240F+ when braking and cornering.
After letting the car sit for about 5 minutes it is maintaining around 72.5~F and slowly dropping. After starting a lap again at this temperature of 72.5~ I ended up at 216F after one lap and 230F after the first few turns.
Not sure where you guys are getting the deadzone stuff from, while reading your comments and doing the above test I tried that out also.
I noticed a 3-4% deadzone on the bottom and a 3-4% deadzone on the top of the controller based on applied throttle in telemetry.
Here is a video I took of the deadzones with telemetry:

The 40% registered travel... what?

I don't understand what they're saying about only having partial use of the pressure range.
I just saw this posted on the official Forza forums.
Not that it's surprising but it's confirmed that the ultimate edition is digital only.
I love how they call it "early access" too. No, more like the other copies get to play late.

This, is what I'm saying
Compared to FM4 which has less than a quarter of that deadzone. It's disgusting.

Kinda surprising. It doesn't affect me because I buy digital, but physical LCE is a big deal for a lot of Forza fans.

What exactly is that GIF supposed to prove?
Ultimate editions are partly paying a premium to play earlier.

That deadzone is disgustingly big especially for any half fast driver who is somewhat interested in rolling on the power out of corners.
It's the same for the brakes, causing significantly more lock ups when not running ABS.
Hah, ok.
Keep moving those goal posts, first it was 60% deadzones and now its impossible to roll out power in corners(something I do around every corner).
Can't wait to see the next claim.

Okay, sure, keep at it. It's near misterxmedia levels of funny now...
Now we're into strawmans.

Alright Forza thread got bumped, lets see what's ne.............
No, honestly its BS. I love Forza and Turn 10, but this early access thing is stupid. If the game is finished and ready to play, why block other people who are spending heard earned money on it from playing it? Make the Ultimate Edition better in other ways, don't start shitting on your other fans and customers by making them wait longer for the game they paid for.
This is a horrible practice and I hope it's not picked up by other devs and publishers.
this.
I'll be enjoying the game five days earlier while you complain about it.
It's one of the great things about EA Access.

So no LCE?
Save me a few quid but I like a nice box.

Oft hope is born when all is forlorn.
lol what makes you guys think that "Early Access" means literally early access to the game? that is not going to happen. They are probably refereeing to some DLC content that you get early. If you get to play the game early, that would have been a news of it itself, and yeah it would be pretty shit thing to do.
it was news. you get the game a week early. and from everything i heard this isnt the same as the halo 5 package where you get to preload a week early, its true early access.
Reading helps.
Ultimate Edition owners will be granted early access to play Forza Motorsport 6 on 9/10/2015.
This is not EA Access. This is the full game 5 days earlier, EA Access has a limit.

And you've not giving any reason why he shouldn't complain about it.
EA Access is the full game earlier but is limited to a certain amount of hours.
You also don't have to buy the game to get it.
Why do I?
I'm not here to change peoples minds on things.
Which is what I meant by limit. There is no indication of Forza 6 having any sort of time limit, and I feel it is unfair for people who are paying money to have to wait for a finished game to be unlocked while others who pay a bit more get to play. I mean, I would understand if it's open for all digital buyers....but it isn't.
There is no time limit because we are paying $100 for the game.
If you want it, pay the $100.
Turn 10 is already giving away up to 25 million in game credits and 12 cars for free, you can't deal with people buying the ultimate edition getting extras?
It's not a late release, it's the normal release date.
Physical is getting the game on the actual release date, same with normal digital versions.

I dislike buying dlc in advance (seson passes, car packs, etc) so i'm really put off that the most expensive version is in people's hands early but i'll just bite my lip and stick with the retail disc.

It certainly is. Not to mention no option to get the vip pack if you get the physical version or get the limited edition console.
According to their marketing, sure. I look at the situation more realistically though. If the game can be downloaded and played on the 10th with the Ultimate Edition it's obviously available for the other digital editions too, they've just decided to hold it back.
I don't know if they could supply stores with enough physical copies for a release on the 10th so I will give them a pass on that though I suspect they could.
I dislike this practice in general. I'm not singling out Forza it's just it's the first game I like that's done this.
There will most certainly be a way to buy VIP if you get the standard physical edition.

I really hope so, it's just at the moment there's no option in the store to do so, which has me worried. It's only available bundled with the deluxe and ultimate editions.
Usually I buy the limited edition physical version but obviously that's not happening this time around. Once I saw the limited edition console I figured I'd grab that, sell the code and buy the physical version and vip upgrade. Has there been any sort of confirmation about a vip upgrade or is this just an assumption based on the fact that it's been available with previous games?
If the marketplace listings for the last several Forza games are any indication, it's something you'll be able to upgrade with a separate purchase from the physical-standard version.
Yes I felt the same way when 5 was releasing but as it got closer to release (or on release) it was there. I think they do it like this to avoid confusion for digital preorders and prevent people from buying a separate pack when they are already getting it in one of the digital editions, until presales are over.

I wouldn't worry about the VIP pass. Car pass isn't up for sale yet either, and you know that'll be there at some point.
This, is what I'm saying
Compared to FM4 which has less than a quarter of that deadzone. It's disgusting.
I am measuring 8mm of travel, 2mm of initial deadzone and 3mm of dead zone on the end leaving only 3mm of usable travel. I do feel bad for the controller users.
You just claimed that the deadzone is bigger than the registered travel, my video shows that isn't true.

Ah I see, I hope that's the case. I've never purchased vip separately before so I'd never noticed when they usually put it up in the store. Hype back on track
Your video confirms the deadzones as well. Measure it. Just under 40% of usable travel.
After playing some more PCars today I really hope Forza continues to improve the vibration feedback on controllers. They do great with the throttle/brake on the triggers but pc seems to do a better job (compared to F5) of giving controller users a vibrational sense of connection to the road with all four wheels. I feel in pc as I know almost exactly where that fine line of pushing a car through the corners is. F5 did ok but could be better.
Jesus. Wonder if the supremo new whiz-bang controller has the same problem.
Is it also evident in FH2? I would assume so, given it's the same engine.
Gamescom.
They only have 5 tracks to announce, but I assume we'll get two or three announced maybe through the Forza garage reveals perhaps one every three weeks. The other ones will probably be announced at somewhere like Gamescom.
Im excited to see what they have in store for us with these 5 remaining tracks - whether they're new to the franchise tracks or returning locations.
I hope one of them is a revamped Maple Valley. Maybe extended with a couple of new ribbons.
