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

Dumb pictures that I took of new cars from the FH3 Feb DLC Holden Dealer Team VK with Peter Brock's iconic livery [t]https://forzamotorsport.net/Handlers/GetPhoto.ashx?game=fh3&id=21646283&full=true[/t] Cadillac ATS-V (despite being American, it actually looks really nice) [t]https://forzamotorsport.net/Handlers/GetPhoto.ashx?game=fh3&id=21563389&full=true[/t] [editline]9th February 2017[/editline] Either the Americans have finally figured out how to make great-looking cars, or I need serious help, because I'm starting to like the V-Series Cadillacs that GM have made in the past few years.

[QUOTE=CMB Unit 01;51796353]I suppose so, but it might be good to have skins made by the community to go into rotation for the game content to make up for the lack of official skins. I wouldn't like to see it in public games as default because of the obvious shit skins that would inevitably occur.[/QUOTE] With this system you defo would not be able to have anything copyrighted.

I decided to buy a Horizon Edition Lamborghini Countach and make it as 80s as I possibly could. [t]https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/127428802706931712/279081657175244800/1980s.jpg[/t] Pretty sure I succeeded.

from a purely objective standpoint, what is the best gran turismo game? i.e. if i haven't played a single game in the series before and could only play one, which one should it be? i mostly see a lot of debate about gt3 vs 4

If you've never played any it'd have to be GT4 most likely, purely based on the fact that it's more modern.

Would I be safe to assume my i3 3220 is the main problem as to why I'm getting sub 30 frames on Horizon compared to my 970?

[QUOTE=jazxsora;51804010]Would I be safe to assume my i3 3220 is the main problem as to why I'm getting sub 30 frames on Horizon compared to my 970?[/QUOTE] Possibly, the game is ported from a system with 8 cores and 6+GB of VRAM I have an i7-4790 and a GTX 1070 with 16GB RAM, and I still get drops into the mid 30s sometimes. It generally runs at 50-60 though

I think 90% of my time spent on FH3 has been taking photos [img]http://a.pomf.cat/vbquok.png[/img]

Does facepunch have a forza horizon 3 club?

[QUOTE=legolover122;51814765]Does facepunch have a forza horizon 3 club?[/QUOTE] There's one called FPFZ, idk if it's all facepunch or even facepuncher managed but I see a few other FP names in there, my XBL thing is my FH3 ign

Yea i'm in FPFZ too, same name as on here

I'm in FPFZ as well, it doesn't seem all that active though [editline]13th February 2017[/editline] [QUOTE=Zotobom;51816097]Yea i'm in FPFZ too, same name as on here[/QUOTE] Hey, you're in my race team thing in FH3!

[QUOTE=venom;51816662] Hey, you're in my race team thing in FH3![/QUOTE] Whoa! Only FPFZ person I have is someone called Scarlet something something because (s)he has fucktardedly high stats

I don't even know the purpose of the drive teams tbh, do they increase the payouts or something?

Shiiiet we need to #squad it up in some online adventure or something

[QUOTE=venom;51817248]I don't even know the purpose of the drive teams tbh, do they increase the payouts or something?[/QUOTE] You get line-up bonuses at the end of every race and the better stats your drivatars have the bigger the bonus iirc

I joined it. I hope the game starts preferring FPFZ members for my lineup instead of randos who pretty much generally have shit stats.

My XBL Gamertag is Eofore, feel free to add! I'll be sure to join FPFZ tonight. Haven't played Horizon 3 in a while, just bought Blizzard mountain and waiting for it to download.

Welcome to a Xbone game running in a DX12 wrapper, it handles memory like it does on the console so it ends up using RAM instead of the GPUs memory when it hits around 3gb.

Cruising around with the debug overlays enabled, it seems to average around 7GB of memory usage with 700MB of VRAM usage. I dunno if the counter is broken or something but 700MB is a tiny amount.
