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

got bored so i remade the LFA from NFS World that i once won from a contest because i was 1 out of 5 people who sent their valid entries first. Also remade(ported) it in Trackmania last year.

Haven't gotten around to installing the offline mod though, I wonder if people have set up private servers for it...

I tried Googling this but did not have any luck, so do any of you know how I could share a custom design in Horizon 3, but in a way so that the preview of the design shows things like custom rims and changed ride height? Alternatively, could someone here please search among the Ford Falcon GT F designs for 'BF 40th Anniversary', and see if the preview for that design has the same or different rims as in this photo: [T]http://i.imgur.com/MoTjLQL.jpg[/T] Thanks! [editline]24th October 2016[/editline] It's not that big of a deal I guess, but I'm trying to recreate this car below in Horizon 3, and I want to give anyone who downloads my design a reference for which rims it should have: [T]http://o.aolcdn.com/dims-global/dims3/GLOB/legacy_thumbnail/750x422/quality/95/http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2007/03/fpv_gt40th_hero.jpg[/T]

Sorry for the picture spam. Damn, if only that POTW competition was still going on, I would have submitted one of these: [thumb]http://forzamotorsport.net/Handlers/GetPhoto.ashx?game=fh3&id=7710804&full=true[/thumb] [thumb]http://forzamotorsport.net/Handlers/GetPhoto.ashx?game=fh3&id=7711443&full=true[/thumb] By the way, are you all playing Horizon 3 on PC or XB1?

PC. Haven't had any of the consoles for ages.

PC. The lastest patch pretty much fixed all the performance issues I had with the game, now I can finally say that my biggest complaint about the game is the dreadful, dreadful playermodels they make you choose from. "Which flavor of disgusting hipster do you hate the less?"

Was probably a silly question to ask; this does seem like a PC-oriented forum :v: but I am playing on XB1 myself. Yeah, the player model options were lame. The black chick seemed more like a 'boss' than the others (and well you are the boss of the Horizon festival), so I went with her. I think everybody would be happy if we had the option to wear helmets.

I really just want my dude to be wearing a racing suit and helmet while my Station-Wagon flies into the stratosphere. Hell, they should include those stereotypical propeller caps, just for when you want to be extra classy in your sponge-bob crotch-rocket buggy

[QUOTE=*Freezorg*;51251684]my biggest complaint about the game is the dreadful, dreadful playermodels they make you choose from. "Which flavor of disgusting hipster do you hate the less?"[/QUOTE] I wouldn't mind the player designs so much if they didn't look so lifeless. A couple small idle animations wouldn't hurt to make them look less like a mannequin strapped into the drivers seat.

Like if they were going to make them that bland they might as well have made them cardboard cutouts.

[QUOTE=ProfHappycat7;51252568]I just chose the bearded guy because he looks like the internet comment ettiqute guy[/QUOTE] I can't help but cringe when I see the other, younger white guy. He looks so out of place. [editline]24th October 2016[/editline] So, what's the theme for the next POTW?

[QUOTE=ProfHappycat7;51252568]I just chose the bearded guy because he looks like the internet comment ettiqute guy[/QUOTE] I see that I'm not the only one who thought that. I usually always pick female player models in games but in this one I always regret it as soon as I enter photo mode.

You went and messed with a Old man Silver and look what happened Also you haven't won GX until you've perfected AX cup on master and done all the hard challenges in story mode, get back in there

i'm going too fast

[QUOTE=*Freezorg*;51256246][t]http://i.imgur.com/z7GSW3B.jpg[/t] What the fuck is this driving position.[/QUOTE] The literal 'broomstick up their ass' position [editline]25th October 2016[/editline] Does anyone have any tips on selling in the Horizon 3 auctions? I don't know, I just can't bare to simply delete cars I don't want; I have to auction them off. But some, like the Lambo Urus, I can't get rid of even with the lowest starting and buy now prices. Is there a best time of day to put up an auction? And would you think that other players might prefer to buy a stock or modified car? I've managed to auction off even a Club K's Silvia among many others, but can't get rid of the Urus and a FIAT X1/9.

Here's a top tip: To stop the driver being such an obvious sore in a photo, beyond the clever use of reflections and angles, you can also turn down the brightess in the photo. It doesn't make what's supposed to be bright any less bright, but it makes the shadows somewhat darker, which doesn't make the photo any uglier or less realistic but it does wonders to diverting focus away from the car interior. In this particular example I turned the brightness down to 41 from the default 50, with color, contrast and exposure left at default. [t]http://i.imgur.com/7G4RzJZ.jpg[/t] [t]http://i.imgur.com/3y3klbh.jpg[/t] In this example it made the weird non-shaded anti-aliased bits in the underside of the car (or perhaps it's an ambient occlusion thing?) stick out a lot more, but this doesn't happen in most scenes in the first place so you shouldn't worry about it too much.

So in the November DLC for Horizon 3, they'll be doing something that they've 'never done before' [url]http://www.thebitbag.com/forza-horizon-3-dlc-motorbikes-releasing-november/193927[/url] I don't think it would be motorbikes; that's too much work for a monthly DLC. I'm hoping that it's three-wheelers, like the Morgan 3 Wheeler. Or maybe it could be WRC rally cars? What about proper drag racing cars? Would be even better if they added more Australian cars though. [editline]25th October 2016[/editline] I seriously hope that it's not boring drift cars [url]http://www.idigitaltimes.com/forza-horizon-3-dlc-leaked-hoonigan-car-pack-revealed-podcast-562747[/url]

If they make Motorbikes. I hope the physics aren't total balls. I remember when Project Gotham Racing finally did bikes oh boy were they bad. Not that the cars had physics that I liked much either. But still. Ride 2 bike physics in the Forza world would work pretty well I think.

Well it seems Kirbyguy won the POTW so go ahead and pick the next theme, congrats!

If anybody else was having problems connecting to online sessions, I fixed it by enabling Toledo (whatever the fuck that is) make a command prompt as admin and run: netsh interface Teredo show state if it says disabled run: netsh interface Teredo set state type = default

I doubt it'll be motorcycles. I wonder if it'll be related to online. I'd be cool if it was a feature where you can upload an image file to make it into a sticker.
