Yup. Given that 900 degree wheel owners are a minority I'm sure other bugs that affect more people take precedence.
Is there a bug thread on FM.net?
There are 5 I know of that are irritating but will probably take a long time to get fixed.
1. Heat 2 on Infineon, the left screen in a triple screen setup is always screwed up, either showing the wall, your own car from the other side or some random polygons, it fixes itself when you get to the first corner.
2. Streaming custom soundtracks from a networked PC doesn't work in triple screen. When you get to a loading screen your main machine will freeze. It will also regularly make the game stutter on the side screens and sometimes drop frames on the main screen (this is sort of understandable due to network traffic I guess, I'm not ever expecting a fix for this. So I just use my iPod for custom soundtrack.)
3. 0 Credits bug on 900 degree setting with fanatec wheels.
4. Steering ratio bug on 900 degree setting with fanatec wheels.
5. Vinyl/Design file corruption that people are misinterpreting as the main save game being corrupt.
If what Turn 10 kept saying in interview about incubating shaders and lighting in Autovista is true then thank god for Autovista. I also think that it's a nice peek at what next gen will hold for racing games.SarBear said:
Imagine racing in a cockpit close to an Autovista LOD in 1080p with motion blur, all while you see the sunset when emerging of Eau Rouge, your screen whipers trying to work they way through the pouring rain typical of the Ardennes region and the water sent by one of the 20+ smart AI populating the track.
One can dream, right ?
G Rom said:
I can appreciate the tech being utilized within the feature, don't get me wrong, however I personally think it adds absolutely nothing to this current game. I'm with you in dreaming of a scenario such as that, but judging by Dan's perception of the market, weather effects are irrelevant. :/

This was tacked onto the tail end of the title update info:Yoritomo said:
900° was called out specifically, and there's an address for bugs. I've sent them my Speed Wheel issues.

You did fine. More than anybody else was willing to do especially with being democratic about it. Enjoy the game for what it is.
END WORK ... damn I want to play. My girlfriend mocks me when I have a tray next to my setup with the remote, some booze, and some snacks ... at least I think she does as I have that shit turned up too loud to hear her.

Another possibly "stupid" question. Before I got an invite, I was trying to find where to "search" for GAF lobbies. I am I just missing it somewhere in the menus?

Wake me when your Top Gear lap is below 1:50.skyfinch said:
op_ivy said:
I'm always trying to get in front as fast as possible so I can get a clean lap in for a decent leaderboard position with that config.
Also what is the timing for clutch launches, I think this is affecting my top gear leaderboard time and will obviously affect my drag times. I guess I need to experiment, does the clutch need to be full depressed when the race starts or can I hold it at a catch point without damaging the tranny? If I ty to do a clutchless launch it seems to lag slightly if using manual with clutch.

It was fun, I was only around for two races, then I couldn't find anyone when I logged back in.
Is there an easier way to find out who in my club is in a race so I can join them?

Damn rivals mode. I knew this would happen. Pitting friends against friends, family against family. In a perfect world, we all cross the finish line at the same time.....together, as one.

Yeah, but Dan said the same thing about cockpit views. When asked about them around FM2 I think it was, he said that he didn't like them because he felt they impeded on vision....then BAM...cockpit views in FM3.SarBear said:
So, if he keeps on repeating his disdain for weather now, it should mean we'll be getting rain for FM5.......and night........and better tracks.......and Porsche........
Yoritomo said:
yeah, one of the reasons i'm loving my subarus is the insane launches. the AI at the start of the race even regularly trade paint, bounce, and slam into each other too! i really dont remember them this bad in FM3, and it makes me really laugh that people slammed the AI in shift 2

I usually get the revs up and hit the clutch at the end of the countdown. I noticed I was getting ahead of you on the Top Gear lap, but god damn you are a beast in the corners. How do you get that much speed in the hammerhead?

I'll gladly try my hand at some GAF racing tonight, if there's a spot open. 
I sent an FR to Shortt and Big Takeover, just a heads up. I want to be able to see how I stack up against you guys.

Trail braking, I don't know if you can watch my lap with telemetry on but I'm not braking a huge amount at the beginning of the hammerhead, I brake enough to slow so I can cut the little left a bit before the main right arc of the hammerhead and slow there. The keys to a really fast lap are launch, chicago, and hammerhead. If I could launch better I'd cut about a half second I bet, I'm getting hammerhead right but I need to get chicago down better to get with the crazy fast guys.
I'm a bit late with this response regarding the club, but I just woke up.
The idea that everything will be fine after a month and that we should accept a sub-par experience until then is a terrible argument. What you're saying is that it's OK if most people have a poor experience playing the game during the period that they actually play the game, and that after they quit it'll be fine for those who stay. What kind of logic is that?
I don't think there needs to be a change in leadership, just a second club. It can be op_ivy's club, or the one with a GAF name that someone else said he might start. The only thing that needs to be done is to choose one and then funnel people over to it. If possible, I'd also like to see the GAF liveries shared between the clubs. It's not too late to do this. People are still being kicked from the main club and they'll need somewhere to go. We shouldn't just leave them to fend for themselves, we should actively direct them as well as all new arrivals to the second club.

I am anything but delicate.....Yoritomo said:
I have been trying to learn more with each Forza.
F1 had every assist on
F2 Took off Stability Control, and only used breaking line.
F3 Manual, No line.
F4 Manual/Clutch, no Traction Control.
I still use ABS Im not ready to give that up.
yeah I am trying with no assists and is the first time I am ever using a wheel so is quite a learning experience.. I feel like I lose the car too much sometimes when I shouldn't. any tips? I try to be smooth on it, but if I push it I seem to lose it time and time again.
do you guys use one foot on break and one on gas, or the right foot for both like a regular car?

Not sure if it's like other rival challenges but just do a lap and keep going. Most of the time it's the second lap that is the fastest because it's rolling start.
The key word here is: GENTLE. With the gas and brake (without assists), if you romp on them going into corners and out you are going to find that the car spins out every single time. Ease into them and when you start hearing the tires squeal then you know you are pushing the limits. It is a bit of a learning curve but once you find that sweet spot it makes the game so much more fun!sneaky77 said:
I don't know how you guys do it with the clutch. I have all assists off but I can't make that leap into using the clutch yet. Kinda funny since I drive a manual irl.
soundscream said:
Give up ABS, the punishment will train you to limit brake and trail brake properly. It will be a painful transition but it's worth it. Also adjust the deadzones for braking before you do this, otherwise it's really really painful. I don't turn off ABS to show off, I turn it off because it forces me to always drive with braking pressure in mind.

I don't usually do a ton of online racing, but sure, you're more than welcome to join up. You'll house me, no doubt. I'm more into having fun with Gaffers than beating anybody really. I haven't done too many iRacingish serious bidness races in Forza. All just good fun kind of stuff.shadowkhas said:I'll gladly try my hand at some GAF racing tonight, if there's a spot open.

Because I don't have the wireless headset, and I'm using the Speed Wheel, the first turn I ever did with a controller was when heading into turn 1 with a dozen of these dummies on my ass!

Love this game. Absolutely hate the AI.
I think I may have experienced only one race where I wasn't forced off the track, sideswiped or hit in the rear so far. A lot of the time (although not all) they don't seem to realize you're on the track, occupying space. Other times they seem to know but don't care and will careen right into you - like they're trying to cut you off, but miscalculating and slamming into your front sides.
I don't remember Forza 3 being this bad.

I have a lot of problem with Bacharach Bend (the turn before last). I have hard time judging where I can brake and a lot of time I panic and brake too soon.

I agree, the AI is really bad.

Been playing FM4 since 13:00 GMT. It's now 20:00 GMT and I'm at level 16. Got to say it's a seriously excellent game, far better than FM3. Right now I'm listening to the menu music as that alone is so good!
Complaints? Well, no big ones but; Silverstone is pre-2010 and the Nurb GP is out of date as is the Nord. But that's not an issue as they do all look better anyway. Some races only have 8 cars *shrug*.
Not sure if the AI uses catch up because whenever I race I'm usually in front by halfway round the first lap. Then I keep having the AI on my tail. Hmmm. Guess it's okay (might just be me).
It does look good. A bit jaggy but not unpleasantly so. Love the Homespace and the Auto vista. Going to go mad with the photo's later. And yes, you can make short videos of your replays!
All in all a fine game.

Somehow I think they are taking cue from the other racer (Shift) and want to make the race more exciting .. I think they are over doing it. AI constantly run off the track, run me off the track or just simply pile up on one another.
