Worth picking this up for a racing game fix? Haven't played one since Gran Turismo 3 or 4. Kind of jonesing a bit. It's on sale at best buy for $28 with GCU. Thinking of getting Forza 6, The Witcher 3, and MKX with my $65 credit.

You don't want to race against Armenius. He will beat the shit out of you.
My id is KickAssCop. My drivatar is an asshole.
I'm pretty sure I've already added you. I'll have to check later. Mine is ArmeniusLOD.Sounds like someone I need to add.

In fairness, if you play the games regularly it's easy to increase your reward tier on Forza Hub. I've been playing the series since the first one on original Xbox, and I was a competitive player in Forza 2-4. My weakness is the Horizon series, as much as I love it. I still need to go back and finish the first Horizon to get a larger portion of points in my reward tier.Weird, I just shot you an invite, maybe I screwed it up on my end.
Edit: Tier 9, you sir are a serious Forza player.
On the lower Drivatar difficulties a bug still exists that the top drivers will be selected from a higher difficulty. I don't see this problem on Unbeatable difficulty.I'm having a hard time putting this game down. I havent touched my other games since I started Forza. I find myself saying "one more race" a lot. Some things are annoying though (probably been discussed already). Most traces are decided within the first 30 seconds or so. I either get into the front of the pack from the get go and finish top 3 or I get stuck in spot 5-10 and can never catch the leaders. The difficulty seems entirely car based and is all or nothing. I'm only on above average though, so this might change as I move up.
Fantastic game though. How is Forza Horizon 2?

I think Horizon may be available in BC soon. If it happens, I am definitely getting back to it.
If you upload your saves to the cloud they will carry over. It worked with Fallout 3 and Mass Effect for me.Wonder if you can import your save somehow, it would suck to have to start all over. Did they have online saves for it?

You have to transfer your saves on an Xbox 360 if you haven't already done so.Will it do that for me automagically or do you have to manually do it on the 360?
The Lamborghini is AWD, which is why you had an easier time in the rain. You should try running without traction control in the rain with RWD cars. With practice you might find it is a lot easier. On the flip side you may also want STM active until you get the hang of it. Remember that you have decreased traction in the rain, so while you want to accelerate away from the apex in the dry you have to wait until the car is almost completely straight in the rain to apply throttle.It was the 2006 Aston Martin #007 Aston Martin Racing DBR9. I bought a Lambo and everything was good.
The race cars in the game are setup too stiff by default. I would start by setting the springs to around 60% of their default values while decreasing the shock values by the same amount. You could also play around with the caster angle to get a better feel on the controller. I run between 6 and 7, myself, for the faster turn-in, but try around 2 to 3 with the race cars and see if that feels better. One last thing is to try and increase the deceleration on the differential to equal the acceleration value, which will give you more control under braking but might cause snap oversteer mid-corner.I think I used that car, twitchy as hell in the wet IIRC. Honestly the modern race cars are my least favorite divisions. Not enough character between them or something.
Anyone know a good way to check your times on a divisional basis?
You should try running without traction control in the rain with RWD cars.
Nope, without. Either way you're going to end up going nowhere when you step on the throttle, whether that be spinning out or not accelerating. Without TCS you have the ability to step the rear end out as much as you want and still accelerate because you have the freedom to spin the tires as much as you want. The idea is to put the control in the driver's hands to what they feel comfortable and to train yourself because traction isn't a binary on or off thing.You mean WITH traction control. You'd want as much traction as possible especially with a RWD car in the rain.
My suggestions were more in response to you saying they all felt twitchy. But personally I can feel the differences between the different cars. In the 458 I can brake really deep into a corner but I need to balance neutral throttle around the apex or else the car will snap around. In the MP4-12C, on the other hand, I need to brake with more resolve in a straight line, but then I have no problem getting on the throttle early. I believe the wheelbase and track between the two cars are about the same, but the difference being that the former has a much lower polar moment of inertia than the latter.It wasn't that I can't tune the race cars to my liking, its that the modern cars all feel about the same, which makes since because the divisions they run in, in real life, are so tightly controlled they are almost spec series. Biggest difference is in the power delivery.
FM 1-4 had a dedicated leader boards section, in this I can only seem to find it when in the actual track pre/post race menu.
I'm using a standard XBONE controller and feel the same way. I drive with no aids except auto clutch, and I use TCS in race cars. It's more pronounced between those two cars I feel because the LaFerrari has a fatter torque curve and longer wheelbase than the P1.What setups are you all using for this game?
Do you have a wheel and pedal setup or are most of you using a controller...
Because with my wheel and pedal setup I don't feel like the cars all feel about the same. I think the LaFerrari and P1 couldn't feel more different.
