I couldn't 'feel' when the rear end of the mustang or viper would or wouldn''t let loose, usually forza is predictable in its handling. It could be a demo specific physics to ensure anyone could have fun................. maybe.

The vibration isn't anywhere near strong enough, thats why you can't feel the rear end come loose.

Like I said before, there is a huge uproar about it on forzamotorsport.net so I see it being patched by the time the game comes out.

GF bought me the special edition for my bday, may have to take another members advice after she bought me tickets to an AFL final and 'wife her'.

dont do it.

as soon as the ring is on the finger it all stops.

Picked it up, yet to play it though. Did anyone not get a book inside their cover or did I just get ripped

Where did you get it from? I know JB are stupid and allow people to return games with codes that cannot be reused.

Yer it was from jb although the case was sealed. This happened to a friend of mine except there was nothing in the case at all, he got it exchanged luckily.

Mine wasn't the special edition or anything so I don't know if that matters

Never bought a game that didn't come with the little booklet... tho if games started coming out without them it wouldn't be surprising really... just have a link to a pdf version on the net and all modern phones can read them easily.

wont be getting it for at least a few weeks. really busy with other stuff.

i dont understand my thinking though, im spending a ridiculous amount of time watching videos of the game on youtube.

Question: are there body kits like on FM? i was watching a review that had a quick 2 second clip of the upgrading screen where it only had the performance upgrade options (engine/suspension/driveline/conversion) but didn't see any aero section.

been pumping it out all night.

pro's

engine/suspension/aero mods seem to be the same

can import vinyls from fm4

money is ridculously easy to make and it seems discounts are easy to get aswell (i already have over 50% off all upgrades)

supra sounds hot as f**k on boost.

roundabout

sliding around city streets is fun

cons

there are no r32/r33/s13/s14's only 370z's, s15's r34's and other nissans.

skyline still sounds shit imo

slighty dissapointed in the map for not having any tight mountain/canyon runs, but it is america so i suppose it reflects roads over there.

only one roundabout (that i could find/see on the map)

no tuning unless i havent unlocked it yet but i doubt it

not as many cars as fm4 but it was expected

could just be me but nightime doesnt seem to last long and i also feel traffic isnt dynamic either (eg less cars at nice wouldve been nice to have)

nowhere to really max a car in a straight line

seems to be a few more cons than pros but the fact is i basically played for almost 5 hours straight so it has to be enjoyable enough to pull that off

edit: also dont think you can do drivetrain conversions anymore, well atleast on the 34 you cant

Edited by drunkn snail

So spent all of yesterday playing, just about to start pink wristband races.

Engine conversions are still in.

Drivetrain conversions are out, (who actually wants an AWD R34?).

Matte paint, cool.

I didn't get a booklet in mine (sealed LCE).

Barn finds are cool.

Seem's I need to buy a Supra...

    • Also, I logged some data from the ECU for each session (mostly oil pressures and various temps, but also speed, revs etc, can't believe I forgot accelerator position). The Ecutek data loads nicely to datazap, I got good data from sessions 2, 3 and 4: https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-2?log=0&data=7 https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-3?log=0&data=6 https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-4?log=0&data=6 Each session is cut into 3 files but loaded together, you can change between them in the top left. As the test sessions are mostly about the car, not me, I basically start by checking the oil pressure (good, or at least consistent all day). These have an electrically controlled oil pump which targets 25psi(!) at low load and 50 at high. I'm running a much thicker oil than recommended by nissan (they said 0w20, I'm running 10w40) so its a little higher. The main thing is that it doesn't drop too far, eg in the long left hand fish hook, or under brakes so I know I'm not getting oil surge. Good start. Then Oil and Coolant temp, plus intercooler and intake temps, like this: Keeping in mind ambient was about 5o at session 2, I'd say the oil temp is good. The coolant temp as OK but a big worry for hot days (it was getting to 110 back in Feb when it was 35o) so I need to keep addressing that. The water to air intercooler is working totally backwards where we get 5o air in the intake, squish/warm it in the turbos (unknown temp) then run it through the intercoolers which are say 65o max in this case, then the result is 20o air into the engine......the day was too atypical to draw a conclusion on that I think, in the united states of freedom they do a lot of upsizing the intercooler and heat exchanger cores to get those temps down but they were OK this time. The other interesting (but not concerning) part for me was the turbo speed vs boost graph: I circled an example from the main straight. With the tune boost peaks at around 18psi but it deliberately drops to about 14psi at redline because the turbos are tiny - they choke at high revs and just create more heat than power if you run them hard all the way. But you can also see the turbo speed at the same time; it raises from about 180,000rpm to 210,000rpm which the boost falls....imagine the turbine speed if they held 18psi to redline. The wastegates are electrically controlled so there is a heap of logic about boost target, actual boost, delta etc etc but it all seems to work well
    • hahah when youtube subscribers are faster than my updates here. Yes some vid from the day is up, here:  Note that as with all track day videos it is boring watching after the bloopers at the start.  The off was a genuine surprise to me, I've literally done a thousand laps around the place and I've never had instability there; basically it rolled into oversteer, slipped, gripped and spat me out. On the way off I mowed down one of the instructor's cones and it sat there all day looking at me with accusing cone eyes as I drove past. 1:13:20 was my fastest lap, and it was in the second session, 3rd lap.  It (or me!) got slower throughout the day as it got hotter.      
    • It sounds like you want what the Toyota Landcruisers have for their roof racks. Wanna know what you end up with? Rust holes in the roof, and water everywhere...
    • Discovered today that if I select reverse first and take my foot off the brake, then select drive, the drive indicator light works and so does the tiptronic gear indicator. 
    • Ok so after much research and talking with knowledgeable people I've got my turbo conversion done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.  Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd. But nothing drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic.  I'm sure there is maybe 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Does anyone here have any ideas?   Cheers guys
