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

[img]http://i.imgur.com/XGfK42U.png[/img] this tumor has been getting bigger and bigger after each race, maybe if it reaches critical mass I will get unlimited fps at ultra settings

a giant collar came to watch me race [t]http://i.imgur.com/ROko8p4.jpg[/t]

This week's POTW theme is Classic cars! No modern cars allowed, 2000 and earlier only.

[QUOTE=*Freezorg*;51259438]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.[/QUOTE] It looks like they will be cars: [quote=http://www.forzamotorsport.net/en-us/news/wir_10_21_16]Look for the next update for FH3 arriving on November 2, [b]along with the next car pack for the game[/b]. Next week Johniwanna will have his traditional Clue Thread for those of you who want to give your best guesses as to [b]which cars will be coming to the game in November[/b]. Here’s one tantalizing tease: We’re adding something in November that we’ve never done before in the Forza Horizon series.[/quote] Edit: This is driving me mad, but can someone please go to the Ford Falcon GT F's design marketplace and search for 'BF' in the description (NOT creator) and show me a screenshot of which rims each of the two designs have. Both of the designs are locked because I auctioned off the original cars, so I can't simply re-upload the designs. It would be very much appreciated! Not a joke, I probably do have OCD!

Not the ones I want the designs to have unfortunately. I think what's happened is at one point I accidentally unshared and then reshared each design, so that's why the rims have reset to stock. But thanks so much for checking anyways! It would have driven me mad if each design had different rims, haha.

Woo, warthog event tomorrow [t]http://puu.sh/rVOPc/61d4bbfbc4.png[/t] [editline]25th October 2016[/editline] Oh, here's my POTW entry: [img]http://i.imgur.com/SQypLkB.jpg[/img] And some bonus pics: [t]http://i.imgur.com/vc355WT.jpg[/t] [t]http://i.imgur.com/nr3rFt1.jpg[/t] [t]http://i.imgur.com/hYMswHh.jpg[/t]

I hope the next Forza better utilises the auction system. Like, scarcity could be simulated by having the fifteen barn finds, but each player can only find up to five at random in their world. That way, not everyone has eg the Dino or the Lambo LM002, and so those auctions would not only sell (to collectors who want all fifteen barn finds), but they'd sell at beyond the starting price too.

[QUOTE=venom;51261339](Hakosuka Pics)[/QUOTE] I am still so pissed that the Hakosuka has been in the series for a while now and they STILL don't have the OEM spoiler for it. [editline]26th October 2016[/editline] That and the actual removal of parts from the E46 M3. Like what the hell?

The auction system is kind of weird as it makes the actual store completely useless most of the time. Even if you don't want to mess with bidding almost every car can be bought out for less than the store price.

Can I change my PoTW entry? I've suddenly changed my mind after seeing how nice Midnight Purple(ish) looks in FH3 :v: [t]https://c1.staticflickr.com/9/8677/30552185306_cee0fe3a74_o.png[/t]

today is the day the new 5dx update hits and i'm seeing people already completed their car, talk about dedication and deep pockets

The right racing livery, rims and photo angle can make even one of the most-ugly Ferraris look not bad at all: [t]http://forzamotorsport.net/Handlers/GetPhoto.ashx?game=fh3&id=8039948&full=true[/t] [t]http://forzamotorsport.net/Handlers/GetPhoto.ashx?game=fh3&id=8039299&full=true[/t] Much like how the right selfie can make anyone look attractive, but let's not get into that [editline]27th October 2016[/editline] In hindsight, black rims probably would have worked better.

Mine all looks like a bunch of shit and I've seen what you did on Forza 5 I think, which was amazing too. But like, full day and night settings. If not, no worries I understand. I'm just very envious of how ridiculously good the pictures look all the time.

I don't care about telling everything, I just need to know what you meant.

[QUOTE=TheAdmiester;51268136]Thanks for the compliment. What is it you mean you want exactly? I don't care about telling everything, I just need to know what you meant.[/QUOTE]The numbers of like, your contrast, exposure, colour. You know, those things. I've always wondered how you got them to be like that.

[QUOTE=RobyYe;51268176]The numbers of like, your contrast, exposure, colour. You know, those things. I've always wondered how you got them to be like that.[/QUOTE] Oh, right. I tend to change them a lot to look good for the scene so I couldn't tell you a general one, but here are the specific ones used in that shot. I'll include some tips for each as well that I've learned over time: [B]Shutter Speed:[/B] 20 - Shutter speed is one you want to keep low. For the right amount of motion blur in a shot I go by two things, the licence plate and the rims. If the licence plate is blurred even with low Aperture and the car being focused on, your shutter speed is too high. It should ideally be set to where you can *just* barely make out each individual rim spoke in the preview for it to look best. Also make sure to render the shot otherwise motion blur looks shit. [B]Focus:[/B] 0 - I always autofocus on the car, I never adjust this myself usually. [B]Exposure:[/B] 68 - Overbright tends to look quite good on this, especially in sunny/overcast situations where glowing can happen. Adjust it however you like at night but overexposed during the day is what I do. [B]Aperture:[/B] 4 - I rarely go over 10 unless it's a stationary posed shot. 4 adds just enough background blur to look a bit more realistic. Needs rendering for good effects like shutter speed. [B]Contrast:[/B] 51 - It may as well just be default, I don't really play with it much. Sometimes lowering it to 45 for a tiny bit of greyness looks good for some reason. [B]Colour:[/B] 53 - Increase this with exposure as it tends to wash things out otherwise. Colour of around 56 makes the rainforest look amazing. [B]Brightness:[/B] 46 - A little bit darker than default to add blackness to shadows and the car's interior to mask the driver a little bit more. [B]Sepia:[/B] 0 - But sometimes I increase it to 8 or so if I want a tiny bit of yellow for a "warm" looking scene. [B]Vignette:[/B] 0 - Not a fan of it. Here's another shot since that's probably quite a wall of text: [t]https://c1.staticflickr.com/9/8570/29955043703_d2a4228818_o.png[/t]

holy shit carmageddon max damage is out on pc now, 33% off atm

i noticed that Groove Music now works in Online Adventure in Forza

So, I'm an idiot who wants to earn a Warthog- How in ye gods do you get into games? Is there not any matchmaking or anything?

[QUOTE=ChickenMan99;51273439]So, I'm an idiot who wants to earn a Warthog- How in ye gods do you get into games? Is there not any matchmaking or anything?[/QUOTE] Search for a custom online adventure and you can join one that only plays the Games as opposed to races.

hi guys, potw [t]http://horobox.reager.org/u/Maximum_Mod_1477693472.png[/t]

[t]https://i.imgbox.com/h5d1A2Wu.png[/t] Had a hankering for some Need for Speed since I can't afford FH3 yet. Still bums me out how this game could have been so much more.

welp i finally got the warthog

[QUOTE=EddieLTU;51274913]welp i finally got the warthog[/QUOTE] How much customization does it allow? I don't think I've seen one yet that didn't look just like the Halo version.

I think you can change the wheels and paint it... But the paint job doesn't do as much as you would think.

[QUOTE=laserpanda;51275475]How much customization does it allow? I don't think I've seen one yet that didn't look just like the Halo version.[/QUOTE] Only the wheels and paint, you can make it look like the civilian version at most.
