SimRacing General: successor to Forza/Gran Turismo/Racing thread - Games

Might just avoid the S1 class and above generally if I can find the motivation to play it again. Might just stick with F6 for now.

Do drivatars use the cars and designs of the actual player? E.g. Reagy do you have a red evo with gold wheels? Wondering if it's just random or if it uses the real designs, would be a nice touch Also I still cannot get online at all, auctions uploading designs and photos, rivals etc work but I just can't get into an online free roam or adventure session. Seen a few other people on reddit with the same issue but no resolutions yet. I wanted to plan an FP meetup today but I can't even get on to do it :s:

Most of the time drivatars just pull a car they own and a random design.

was getting a strange issue earlier, in the menu where you can customize bumpers etc. of cars, whenever I left the menu it just threw me back in. keeps happening, idk what to do

Can you make your own custom car designs in Forza 6 Apex? That's one of my favorite features of the Forza games.

Is FPFZ the proper club? Just joined up if so.

[QUOTE=Zotobom;51171391]Disabling the Hamachi adapter (not just exiting Hamachi mind, actually disabling the adapter in the Network Center) fixed most of my online issues[/QUOTE] Ya I tried this because I had a separate adapater for an old VPN, didn't make things any better for me. I have had increased stability since though, I used to crash a lot on synchronizing drivatars before a race and don't anymore

I had to *enable* windows firewall for the game to go online, which is dumb as fuck

[QUOTE=zerosix;51169302]No you've been sent 25,000 credits in Forza Horizon 3 Ty for letting me know about this I just got 100k (this is on the forza hub app on windows store for anyone that doesn't have it)[/QUOTE] Awesome. I've had the hub since I got the game but today was the first time it updated. 315k credits and a car.

Gotta love the 22b POTW entry: [img]http://i.imgur.com/v8tauaf.png[/img]

Welp, the exact reason for Forza Horizon 3 sucking so hard on PC is because it's a straight port that uses ram instead of your video card for Video Memory, like the Xbox One. [QUOTE]TL;DR: Engine is using system RAM and CPU memory controller as additional GPU frame buffer memory instead of the GPU memory controller. The game world assets were designed around 8GB of available video/system memory, so unless the memory management issues are addressed this game won't ever run as well as it should on PC.[/QUOTE] [url]http://forums.forzamotorsport.net/turn10_postst75488_Here-s-the-Reason-You-Have-Inconsistent-Performance--Stutters--and-FPS-Fluctuation.aspx[/url] :goodjob:

The new Crown Victoria Police Interceptors are flooding the Auction. I usually search for Buy it Now under 10k when I log on just to see if I can snag some cheap cars, but today it's dozens and dozens of Crown Victorias for 1k.

God damn it I want to drive a crown vic in forza

I feel like I'm commiting some horrible sin by using the braking line and rewind, but it's like the only way I can play the game.

Grab one if you can, its not the fastest but tune it right and its a really good S2 car, handles like a dream, it just likes to top out around 218mph though and takes some doing to get to it.

I've made a lot by buying 3k Celicas and slapping Castrol liveries on them.

How am I supposed to do those D class challenges if online stuff only give me like S1 selection vehicles. I feel like i'm doing something wrong...
