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

clue 1 car 2 the tifosi are ferrari's f1 team's fans, for whatever thats worth

I wish horizon 3 would be more stable. I'm trying to finalize a paintjob on my nissan GT-R, but the game after the latest patch has decided to crash every time i try to copy over a specific grouping of layers to mirror it on the other side of the car. Literarily a few moments after any part of that group is touched, the game crashes, consistently. That did not happen before the patch. Edit: Aaaaaand the game decided to fix itself, welp. Anyways, Are there so far any other cars in forza horizon 3 which have been exclusive to previous forzathons other than the warthog? If there are, i wanna know so i can try and get some from the auction house.

looks like 5dx+ release has been confirmed, december 15 japan first, other countries will follow once everything is done for 5dx

Seriously, which fucking FH3 dev thought it would be a great idea for at least half a dozen Drivatars and regular traffic cars to fuck with your run [i]every single time[/i] you do a drift-zone? Is there a way to turn off traffic? It's incredibly ridiculous how you can't go a single metre without running into another car.

I finally got the game and... i tried to do a paintjob replica of the Top Secret Skyline R33. [t]http://forzamotorsport.net/Handlers/GetPhoto.ashx?game=fh3&id=11870452&full=true[/t] [t]http://cdn.speednik.com/files/2015/11/2015-11-28_05-25-23.jpg[/t]

Launched Forza Horizon, and it promptly crashed when it got to the menu. It took [I]every[/I] Windows process with it, including the computer's ability to connect with the internet. I had to restart every Windows process with MSCONFIG. :why:

Weird thing about fh3 is that it has crashed for me like million times, but never in the actual game world. Sometimes it crashes 3 times in a row when I'm trying to select a car after launching the game, then it works just fine when I load up the world

Youtube recommended me one of this channels vids a while ago and I've enjoyed the compilations of stupid shit that happens in racing games [media]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pqHkqhQ6a7A[/media]

At which time of day do they usually release car packs for FH3?

holy fuck, iracing is so much fun but also so fucking infuriating at the same time. the vr support is great and the wheel support and ffb are amazing. but holy shit, racing in rookies is fucking painful. every 1/4 races i wreck myself out by making a mistake in a corner, but the remaining 3/4 i [i]get[/i] wrecked out by someone fucking dive bombing the corner and ramming me out of my line, or someone who runs off track and doesnt check before rejoining and just fucking sideswipes me off the track and takes me out of the race completely. even worse than that are the people who just shunt you off the track at any opportunity

I just bought Horizon 3, man the download is taking long.

Forza's December DLC car list has leaked on the windows store. 1965 Pontiac GTO 1992 Toyota Supra 2.0 GT Twin Turbo 1996 HSV GTSR 2014 Morgan 3 Wheeler 2017 Mercedes-AMG GT R 2017 Jaguar F-PACE S 2015 Bentley EXP 10 Speed 6 Concept

[QUOTE=ulvemann43;51482824]At which time of day do they usually release car packs for FH3?[/QUOTE] Around 1900 for us

[quote]1965 Pontiac GTO[/quote] More boring American muscle? Lmao. They've got the Ford XR Falcon GT, they should have accompanied it with its Holden HK Monaro GTS rival. [quote]1992 Toyota Supra 2.0 GT Twin Turbo[/quote] Also boring, they should have done the Toyota Supra 3.0 GT Turbo A instead. The game needs more Group A touring cars! [quote]1996 HSV GTSR[/quote] Yay I guessed it right! I would have preferred the FTE TE50, but I can settle for this. But I can't settle for the fact that only 1 of 7 of the cars in each DLC are Australian. There's so much untapped potential! [quote]2014 Morgan 3 Wheeler[/quote] FUCKING FINALLY. Very happy about this! One of my dream cars, if a car can be a wooden tricycle powered by a motorbike engine! [quote]2017 Mercedes-AMG GT R[/quote] Yawn. More boring supercars. [quote]2017 Jaguar F-PACE S[/quote] SUVs aren't really my thing, but it's a Jag, so I'm okay with this. [quote]2015 Bentley EXP 10 Speed 6 Concept[/quote] Concept cars are so consistently wacky that, at this point, they're consistently [i]boring[/i]. .. I guess that I'm very hard to please.

[QUOTE=Zombii;51485111]it seems like any starting position that isn't pole or the pits should instead be labeled instant death[/QUOTE] It's like that in all racing games on public multiplayer. There's often no consequence for people to be selfish pricks, and very few players actually have sportsmanship. There needs to be a system where, if you're a victim of someone else being unsportsmanlike, you can flag that multiplayer match and roughly when the incident occurred, and then there's like a jury of players that watch a replay of that incident and make a judgement. If the player was a dick, they're temporarily banned from multiplayer. The jury system could work if the jury is rewarded for their time regardless of how they rule, eg for every ten judgements a player makes, they get a free car or a 'start-on-pole' card to use.

you can drive anything on the test server? i always wanted a try before you buy on cars

The 3.0 GT and the 2.0 GT are visually the same, if you're affected by the performance model just upgrade it then.

The 3.0 GT Turbo A just has that more-romantic of a story to it; a Japanese maker renowned for boring cars, the underdog, taking on the big European boys for outright victories in the dominant touring car category of the time, in championships all across the world. But then they failed miserably because fucking Ford Sierra Cosworth. But it gets better, because then the R32 Skyline GT-R came along, forced the 3.0 GT to dig its own grave, and then shot it in the back of the head.

I think the morgan is the only car of the pack i have any interest in, that and perhaps the pontiac GTO. The others are just nothing special.

I'd prefer they add more crappy cars. Muscle and supercars are a bit boring. That said Horizon 3s roads only really lend themselves to fast cars and I think it's why I bounced off it and have been playing FM6 again.
