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

[GAH_caek]

The speed boosts the AI in FH3 get on long straightaways are silly.

I was grinding for 5 laps on the goliath circuit using the horizon edition huracan, and almost everytime i got to either the outback or surfers paradise section of the track the AI behind get massive speed boosts and start flying at me. forcing me to either block them or let them just walk past, even though i was going 200+ mph.

Ended up finishing 2nd but it didn't really matter, considering i got 700k in credits and leveled like 50 times thats still a win imo :v:

finally, my M1 has reached max shop grade

took about 144 wins, mostly Japan Challenge

Are all the race cars like the Motul GTR in FH3 going to be forzathon things or is there some other way to unlock them?

[QUOTE=TheAdmiester;51218780]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) :

[/QUOTE]

Thanks for the info. I've noticed a lot of my pictures have that weird blur to them. Sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't. Thanks for clearing it up though! Will definitely be doing this from now on.

They're DLC, the race car pack whatever it's called, you can buy it separately or if you got the Ultimate Edition you already have it.

So there is a glitch where you can put bumpers / skirts on a widebody kit.
you can make some nice looking things with it.

Huh? I usually get a huge lead on the straight parts. Though I never use the huracan

Neeeaaattt, going to have to try that out.

I'm still kinda bummed we don't get window decals, if only there was a glitch for that :c

[QUOTE=laserpanda;51218920]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

[Crumpets]

I went back and played forza 2 today and holy shit, did they lose licensing for a bunch of stuff? There are sooo many more customizable options. I totally forgot about all the pre tuned cars as well.

[redBadger]

That last showcase event was a bit underwhelming/

[smileykiller447]

Someone teach me how to sell cars in the auction house. I got addicted to wheelspins and now I have duplicate horizon edition cars and no credits.

[EddieLTU]

Ok the livery is done. Search up in Replica/Throwback

You're not wrong.

[QUOTE=redBadger;51224945]That last showcase event was a bit underwhelming/[/QUOTE]

I feel like the Goliath hypercar race should have been the final event even though it isn't a showcase. It really felt like what the whole game had been leading up to.

I honestly think the last two showcases should have been swapped instead.
The jet certainly looked way more impressive than racing a blimp in the slowest offroad vehicle in the game.

[Nikpo]

Would've been cool to have seen the final showcase event be something similar to the Goliath, like if they had the train tracks go all the way around the map and you had to race the train from end to end.

[evilweazel]

So, has the PC Port seen any improvements with stability/optimization? Last I heard it was pretty hit or miss.

[Hillo]

Haven't had any crashes after latest patch

[TheAdmiester]

[QUOTE=Hillo;51233905]Haven't had any crashes after latest patch[/QUOTE]

Seconded. Usually running at 4K with 8xMSAA, or going to cockpit view at 4K, despite running fine framerate-wise would crash pretty often for me. Now I can have 4K *and* 8xMSAA *and* cockpit view even in somewhere intensive like Surfer's Paradise and it's rock solid.

[Paleman]

Last patch made stuttering much worse for me, crashes considerably less now though. have to run locked 30 fps in order to stop stuttering, seems like if the game doesn't run at a solid 30 or a solid 60 it'll stutter a lot
