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

if you did not get a silvia s14 during forzathon you can pick one up in the auction for a whopping 1.5-2million credits

Shame the rocket bunny kit on the S14 looks pretty bad and the LODs keep going wonky for me Lots of fun to drive though

god damnit, the new patch ruined my ability to use my g25s shifter while using my thrustmaster wheel and pedals. [editline]15th October 2016[/editline] aaaand that took like 15 minutes for the game to crash. gg.

Does anyone know how to browse trough the liveries and designs in Forza Horizon 3 without actually owning the cars? It worked in Forza 4, I could just enter a keyword and not bother if I owned a car or not, only look at the liveries, however, I can't find this function in Horizon 3.

FH3 just crashed and as it did so it flicked through the textures that were being loaded (I assume) It just displayed maybe 15 of them for a split second each, stretched across my screen and then it crashed to desktop What a strange strange game

Congrats to redBadger for winning the last PoTW! :toot: [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/8CCnsgF.jpg[/IMG] Pick the next theme!

Yay! Ocean/Beach for the theme. You don't have to be on the beach or the ocean, but has to at least one has to be in the picture.

Love the editor in this even if its very simple! And my favorite shot of the day: [t]http://i.imgur.com/vmMv9Ci.jpg[/t]

Ooh, that's a good theme Excited to cruise around and snap some pictures

This will be my POTW entry then: [t]http://i.cubeupload.com/iGEqXO.png[/t]

Here's something i made for a league that never happened [T]http://puu.sh/rLsOV/5b0711918c.png[/T] [T]http://puu.sh/rLsQb/98265560f1.png[/T] [T]http://puu.sh/rLsQR/c89cbce75c.png[/T] Still some unfinished stuff, the rivited steel doesn't continue down the A pillar, flames don't line up perfectly, some panels are wrong because UV hunting etc, but it doesn't have a reason to exist anymore so eh

I, quite frankly, am a genius. [t]http://i.imgur.com/gO0Po7G.jpg[/t]

Really damn confused how AI works in this game. Couldn't win a race because the guy it puts #1 in the lineup gets such a large lead its impossible to catch up, no matter how well you drive. Had to turn it from highly skilled to new racer just to get a lead on him, and even then he was on my ass the entire time. Legit had to ram him off the road and into a tree to get a clear win. I'm so salty at this game rn :v: That being said, is there any way to change the starting grid? It always puts me in 9th every single race and I dunno why. I'd prefer it to be random.

The perk starts you in 1st.

I managed to glitch my Horizon Edition GT to have no tires until i went back to a festival site. [t]http://i.imgur.com/0NThoDC.jpg[/t]

where are the pictures taken in photo mode saved to?

[QUOTE=Marzipas;51217735]where are the pictures taken in photo mode saved to?[/QUOTE] What I normally do is hide UI and print screen instead, so you get a picture in your native resolution and no watermark. Otherwise, download forza hub

[QUOTE=redBadger;51218119]What I normally do is hide UI and print screen instead, so you get a picture in your native resolution and no watermark. Otherwise, download forza hub[/QUOTE] But then the DOF and motion blur looks like shit because it's not rendered fully.

[QUOTE=dustyjo;51218640]But then the DOF and motion blur looks like shit because it's not rendered fully.[/QUOTE] Take the picture, back out without uploading it, and you'll be able to hide the UI and see the fully rendered image. Don't move the camera or else you'll need to render it again. When it says processing completed is when you should press back, then you hide it and printscreen (I recommend WinKey+PrintScr since that automatically saves a copy to My Pictures\Screenshots). Doing that gets the best of both worlds, you get the fully rendered effects but none of the compression you'd get from grabbing the image from the Forza servers.

Hope i'm not late with my potw entry. [t]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/16349584/Forza/potw_beachpic.jpg[/t]

[QUOTE=redBadger;51218682]Doesn't do the same effect when you press X to focus?[/QUOTE] No, that's just altering focus. Taking the photo actually renders effects like DoF and motion blur properly, I have an example of just the DoF from Forza Apex here (but the motion blur gets much smoother too) : In photomode with UI hidden: [t]http://i.imgur.com/3o8eNse.png[/t] In photomode with UI hidden after processing image: [t]http://i.imgur.com/gJRdNUc.png[/t] The better one still isn't perfect as it still has that sort of grid shape showing up in the DoF, but it's not there if you don't have the DoF set to an extreme value. I was just using a really high setting to demonstrate but you can see how much higher quality it is regardless.

Why are drag races even a thing in FH3? Everyone uses the caterham with the same tune. I think the only time I've had fun with a drag race was with only D 100 cars, because it was basically a quarter-mile demolition derby. Also shitty first attempt at a custom paintjob [img]http://i.imgur.com/MIRbw6Q.png][/IMG]
