No aero fix in pits. That seems confirmed. Ouch!!!!!
No community leaderboards? Can anyone confirm that?
No in car clubs? True?
Tyre wear? How's that looking?
Handling model a little forced? Make or break this one.
All stuff being talked about over at FM.net. someone in this community get of their frikkin bone and tell us luddites right now where its at.
1. Not sure about the aero fix since I haven't tried it.
2. Haven't seen any leaderboards which I personally have mixed feelings about. I understand though for other this is something they would have liked.
3. Haven't seen anything for a car club which does suck. That was a great way for people to get together so I don't know why they would have taken it out.
4. Haven't done a long enough race yet to know about tire wear. I will try this later and come back.
I will say that overall I am enjoying it. I think some people have set expectations too high and believe that this should have been something on the level of rFactor for the Xbox.
Beautiful, just completely beautiful. Bathurst, Spa.... heavenly. The sound of the wind you cut through at 180mph on la Sarthe bouncing back off the trees at you..... phhhttt,phhttt,phhttt, just mind-blowing. All the creative exciting ways that I and we discussed that could evolve the game in some way to the simracer I'd like it to be, none of it's there. But it feels so very true to itself. And Silverstone.... so awesome
Instead of editing my original reply I am adding this one to make sure its noticed. There is in fact a leaders board. I just entered a race at LS and it showed one in the lower left hand corner. So I apparently picked the wrong week to stop sniffing glue as there is even an icon for rivals/leaderboards on the home screen in Forza.
I'm sorry guys. They changed a lot of the UI so it's hard to find stuff right now. What I can say is:
No SF or AH, so you have to grind it out to make money. If your Drivatar gets lots of work you make money here, I guess.
Not sure about qualifying but I will set up a lobby tonight and try to see if it is possible.
I will get some time in tonight and get you guys more info. It's very strange playing this game, kinda familiar but different. Lots of changes that I've never seen anyone ask for. You can't free play cars in lobbies, you have to buy or "rent" them but you don't earn CR or XP when you rent. Money grab.
Although there is no SF or AH you can still share paints and tunes. You don't have to pay for them either just the parts for the upgrades when getting a tune.
Honestly I think for some people they should really checkout rFactor or Race07 or maybe iracing for what they are expecting from Forza. I see Forza as a semi-simulator. Its got just enough simulation to make it interesting but not so much to scare away a casual player.
Yea money this time around isn't going to come as easy. But I have been having a blast going through the different series saving up for some cars. Giving it more meaning when buying something.
Tire Wear: In. 2~3 lap races resulted in 7~8% tire wear.
Fuel Consumption: In. Looks like it would last about an hour of driving by my guess.
For the tire tuning folks . . . Tire pressure DEFORMS the tread shape! i.e. high pressure increased M-temperature of I-M-O.
In the tuning screen, as soon as you change the settings, the benchmark scores (0-60mph, 0-100mph, 60-0mph, 100-0mph, g, etc.) are calculated right there within couple of seconds.
So far my MX-5 rear wheel are locking up ALL the time putting the car out of shape at all braking zones. I have to brake VERY VERY gently. Tried rebound dampers, brake balance, brake pressure, to no effect. Only thing I have not tried was the spring rate.
Hey gizzie, you playing this? Want to hear your opinion.
Have spent some considerable time in various forums and I have to say it's looking like a prologue. Has MS pushed a console launch title too early for the sake of it?
A great deal of talk about pop up pay to play stuff?
Beware. The mods are all quiet over there at the moment, but that is SOP.
Once the management at T10 give the nod to their little bullyboys, its going to run with blood. An official forum can only tolerate so much negative press.
Can't even describe how bad it was at the beginning of fm3. It was like civil war, then there was a forum revamp, and masses of folks never made it across. Night of the long knives.

Ya but I don't think I was really bashing or saying the things I am here.
Mostly I just want someone to explain why they fucked some of these things up without asking them that.
Party Chat Eavesdropping Q: How did a friend in my Party hear my private phone conversation? Issue: If the Xbox One controller powers off while you are in a Party chat, the Kinect microphone will activate and broadcast your voice to the Party. This will happen even if you have Muted the controller (to take a call, etc) before the controller powered off. Solution:
If you don't want the Party to hear you, go to the Party app on the dashboard Home screen and select Mute mic, or Leave party.
I would think the new console would support more people in a chat party than 8. Wouldn't 16 be more inline with how many people would be on one team or playing a certain game, or in an online race. Wondering if the netcode has changed/gotten better, faster. FM5 online races are suppose to be through servers correct? Or is it still P2P?
Yeah. So.....

Theres so many questions lol
Can you set up Qualification events up in the lobbys.
Can you adjust how much fuel and tyre usage a car has in the lobbys.
Mandatory pit selection.
Tune in the lobby.
How many people can race in the game at once.
is there a storefront or auction house.
Can you share tunes and paint jobs

Thanks Snappy!
Very informative topic at FM.net

Tire wear IS still tied into damage. Lame.
However it does look like they wear MUCH faster so that is promising. We might be able to do pit stop races without drag tires.
ALL of my info comes from live streaming of guys playing the game. I don't have it myself.
Are car clubs really out?
Why in f***k would they take that out?!
I would have like to see an option for more than 1 club. Not ZERO clubs.

Watching on Twitch tv. Looks like there is no spectate
Ya the more I read the more it seems like they eliminated things that I want.
No saving replays
WTF?!?!
What is "Forza TV" in the menu options?

The tire physics is very very good.
At the end of the race there is an option to save replay. Is it not working?
Everyone online seems to be saying that options isn't there. I saw the same thing on the Tora feed today too I thought.
Clubs look to be gone so a club invite is out. Now it sounds like you can only invite people if you are already in a party with them
WTF was this changed for? I just don't get some of this.
How many people can be in a chat party with xbone?
Not sure but the lobby size is still 16 players.
8 people per party.

Some of these changes are fucking retarded!!
