ok, challenge accepted
but not today 'cause I signed up on virtual motorsports for the league to see how it goes. around 115 people did, first race today just about after our race.
lots of guys from those teams that top the boards participate, hopefully it will be fun.
I will tell you what I think after the first race, so if its good maybe more of forzaGAF enters

Hyperbole aside, there definitely is an issue as your experience mirrors mine that I've mentioned in this very thread where the game essentially feels like it's speeding up and down.

Work has been a nightmare for the last Two weeks. In fact I am at work right now. Going to try to be at the race today as I can't let my team mate down again but I don't know if I will make it.

Yeah they are, the tyres bother me a bit. Turn 10 said they focused on imperfections, they are too dark, too perfect and draw my eyes off the car.

That scary man, I hope everything ends up being okay.
Are there any good Forza youtube channels I can watch to try and get faster? Online I generally am firmly around middle of the pack but the best people in most rooms beat my laps by 3-6 seconds, no idea how to improve my times and just sitting there playing isn't making me any faster anymore..

Rivals mode is the best way.
Damn SarBear that's awful. Hope everything was ok.

Good to hear everything is ok.
Devildoll: Don't worry I also lost track of time today and didn't make it.

Glad to hear it!
Yeah, the I forgot the time routine on the tightest so least open reaching track... Coincidental
Glad to hear she's ok SarBear, I've had asthma all my life and know how bad attacks can get..

SarBear, I'm glad she's OK, who could have thought a popsicle would be that dangerous!
Now, I've been thinking something...I forgot to make a special set about the Ring. The Enzo!

Next week's race is at Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya.
This will be the final round in the championship. Lots of potential to move up/down, regardless of your league position!
Zorbs, have you finalised any details for the Mazda championship yet?
The Hot Wheel Car Pack was the last regular monthly car pack.
Hopefully they will still release more DLC, especialy tracks.

Infiniti pack should be out this month.

Very cool! Thanks for sharing.
That is an ingenious rig for steering, throttling, and shifting. Very little wasted motion.

And it seems to be of his own design going off of the video. It would be cool if he could make something similar for forza.

did an update change camera angles for nurburgring replays ?
i could swear they were the same as FM4's ?
i tend to forget how good this game looks

Because the touch pad he uses to play is totally an official Xbox one controller..........right?
Watching Jube doing a Destiny painting on FM twitch stream. He's giving some DLC codes away if anyone is interested. Dude is super talented.
I've been watching Jube painting since the Justin.tv days (RIP) before Forza 3 release...he's amazing.
Also, I used the "Xbox, record that!" thing for the first time tonight... I love that game haha.

I don't quite recall the FM4 Nürburgring track cams but i doubt they're the same, given the amount of work they did to this version i guess it would'nt fit or something. There is a camera going from Ex-Muhle to the kink before Bergwerk that's really shaky and dramatic i really dig that camera
Oh God I hope Turn 10 completely overhauls the replay system. I really don't understand why they can't get it right...
Anyway, another saladine1 request for FM6.
I would love to see a Shift 2 type of "works conversion" options or at least something similar for FM6.
As it stands now, the cockpit of a highly modified/upgraded car barely changes(except for roll-cage) to reflect actual intent of said car. The steering wheel stays the same, the seats stay the same, the dash stays the same..etc. I mean, i've poured thousands of dollars into a car with race spec brakes and suspension, 600hp motor and race spec transmission, wide tyres and aero parts..yet....my interior still looks like a factory item.
Also, when you upgrade the exhaust system to a straight through racing item, a pea shooter still resides at the back on the majority of the cars!
It just doesn't look right at all..
Of course, the changes don't need to be made if you add 'stage 1' and 'stage 2' upgrades but if I go all out and turn my car into a fire-breathing track monster, I would like to see it reflected back into the car...
Obviously, SHIFT 2 doesn't have the same amount of cars as Forza so it would be a lot of work for the modelling guys. But if they can pull it off, it would add a great deal of authenticity and a sense of aggression to a race modified vehicle..

When the track launched in FM5 i watched some replay footage and thought "duh, they used the same camera angles as FM4".
But after watching that video i quoted, that's not the case at all, so i wondered if they were updated somehow ? probably just my memory playing tricks on me though.
Those used for FM5 ring are probably the best camera angles in any FM replay to date, even the pesky car clouseups are great here with the shaky cam.
This is the crux of the argument against overbloated car counts.
Personally, I'd prefer fewer cars but with the kind of upgrades you are talking about, and more tracks.
Obviously, more tracks.

Steering wheels should be relatively easy-- just model a few racing wheels (different diameters? Shapes?) and program their displays. Make it an upgrade and replace the standard wheel model with the racing wheel chosen for that car. (I say easy because I assume the steering wheel is a separate 3D model-- it was in most racing games I've seen the inner workings of)
They could reuse straight-pipe models like they have with wings-- the problem being the body kits that move the exhaust exits. Lots of the economy cars cum race cars should get exhausts exiting under one of the cabin doors. Anyway, not as straight forward as racing wheels.
If we can add another everyone's an armchair programmer request, can it be that they fix the UV maps so that every car's lines up with the grid system? So that 0 is along the middle of the car and that the same coordinates match on the left-right sides? I think it is much better in FM5, but there are still some cars that are off.

I had a message from someone on live saying my drivatar was owning them in C class, rather cool to have someone talk good things on live for once!
However what got me is that he said my car had a peppa pig skin and his kids enjoyed seeing it... I never used or downloaded such a skin.
So does forza 5 bullshit and use random skins for your drivatar? that dampens what I thought the game did which was take your AI and cars to race others, seems like a lie to me.

I've gotten to see a lot of clips of my drivatar thanks to my brother, and it seems like the system will use your choices (not tuning) if they're available.
If it's a track or career event that I've driven with an appropriate car, I've never seen it swap out the livery. If I hadn't, then I have seen it randomly select the car and livery.

I have always seen people on my rivals using the same livery as they were using when playing online.
Speaking of which chasing after CrudeDiatribe's RX7 on Bathurst was fun last night.

Wouldnt have had you if you didnt screw up a couple of turns, but driving with all assist off gets kind of squirrely in that car.

Yeah, Rivals uses the livery the lap was recorded with. I have seen Drivatars using liveries you guys have used online.
I will have to find some time to right this wrong. (And not eat dirt on top of the mountain).
