Anybody else?? Is this normal? I do 2 or 3 races, decide to leave, enter the game again and it brings me back to the trailer (I can't even skip it) and all my progress is gone, even my settings for the controller and deadzones!

Seems standard for the demos I've played. Can't think of one that let me save.
 
To piggyback what people may be saying about the Ferrari F430 Scuderia, I didnt have too much of an issue with the snap oversteer in the slower corners, but I was having issues with the car wanting to push wide after exiting a corner. Any one else?

I thought the car was reasonably nice to drive, a little bit of throttle stabilises the car on turn in for the slower corners and for a street car the understeer wasn't too bad. Try taking a later apex so when you're on the power there isn't as much turning to do, this may help a little with the pushing wide.

Everything that has been written on the descriptions in the xbox store alludes to the F&F pack being bundled with the Deluxe and Ultimate editions only. In fact... what is even more confusing, is that after you download everything, the 10 year pack (and VIP, car pass) appear in your queue as "pre-loaded", but the F&F pack disappears from the queue and is only visible if you go to the store and search for it. It then says "Play on 9/10".

Got my friend to check and his queue has the 10 year pack, maybe a mistake from Turn 10?

Has anyone noticed that the Ferrari 430 Scuderia RPM gauge has changed from yellow in FM5 to black in FM6? I don't think I've ever seen a real 430 Scuderia with a black RPM gauge, so what could explain this change?
 
Nope. Got the Mustang and some cash. Need the real game already, come on the 10th.

I must be on a roll, I won it every time I played the demo, too bad it won't be transferred to the game.

Also I took the car to the pits at Indy and there's no pit crew, nothing, nada.
 
I don't know dude they look like colors to me. 👍

Nice photos BTW

Hah. There are two points on every picture where I had to erase the loading icon and the "Signed in as" tag, so there might be a little mismatch in tone towards the bottom left and right sides.
 
After spending many,many hours on this demo I've come to the conclusion I absolutely love F6 already..

I was a little underwhelmed to begin with,with the graphics but once I'd played the WHOLE demo (not watched a video or being told by a mate like some on here ) I realised how much of a step up it was over 5.

The handling is different,good different.. You can hold really smooth corners,feels like there's so much more grip and information being given to the player. I didn't expect much difference in the physics over 5 but T10 you've done it again! And I bloody love it!. Even though there's less rumble in the pad to let you know what's going on with the tires you feel much more connected to your car now. The curbs feel really good in F6 now as well.

The sounds are amazing, loving the new tire screeches and track ambience.. Engine noises are top draw.. Couldn't fault it really. Even the menu music is OK now.. Well done again T10!

Racing in the rain is massively enjoyable,I didn't expect to like it as much as I do but I'm hooked on the corvette in the rain on Sebring,a track I was pretty bored of feels fresh again.. GREAT job again T10!.

Graphics wise there's less jaggies than 6 and a more natural looking game overall.. With track lines improved to not have a weird look to them as they solidify as you go forward and texture filtering is also improved.. No blurry line 5 feet in front anymore.. Make this game a slight improvement over 5. Oh and then there's the rain! It looks glorious!!.

I've been massively looking forward to this game and it hasn't disappointed at all.. Cannot wait for the full game now!! The best just got better!
 
How do you take screenshots in the demo my man!? :D
For now you'll have to access it through rivals. View a replay and once it starts you'll be able to see the photomode button. You're going to have to take a screenshot through xbox in order to get it to your computer, though. You won't be able to share it to onedrive, so you'll have to go to xboxdvr.com or xboxclips.com.

How do you view a replay? There's no option for it after a race
 
I actually stumbled upon that yesterday on my own when watching a replay, but the detail on your's looks above mine. Did you pull them from xboxclips.com, or where you able to share directly to your one drive?

When I tried to send it to my onedrive yesterday it wouldn't allow me, and an error popped up everytime, yet I was able to with photos from different games.

When watching a replay? How do you do that in the demo? There's no option to watch replays and it just takes you to the buy game screen once a race or rival event is over.
 
Keep in mind this is the first Motorsport title I play (coming from FH2). My impressions so far:

Graphics: sweet 60 fps, lively surroundings, realistic colors
Sound: very good
Drivatars: Excellent! They feel like real players, I didn't tone down their agression. They were pushing, capitalizing on your mistakes and make mistakes on their own. The only weak part was with the indy cars but I suspect they limited their vehicle's top speed.
Menus: really clean easy and fast
Physics are sooooo good. I noticed that snap oversteer which I am not sure on how realistic it is. Apart from that I loved everything! Night was good but wet racing was amazing!

The only big drawback is that I dont have a wheel yet :'(

From my own experience and it seems quite a few others, a wheel isn't going to provide the best input on FM6

Try before you buy would be my advice unless you have other games you're going to use a wheel for. Imo an
expensive wheel would be a waste of money just for FM6

Some people state otherwise. The problem is that there is no TM TX to try it on FM6, I will take my chances because I will need the wheel for my PC too ;).

I wouldnt bother with a wheel for just Forza games, If however you have PCars and plan on getting AC then a wheel is a must!
 
I had a G27 which I used on AC and PCars. Sold it because I was really unhappy with the feeling. I am getting a TM TX to use on those 2 + Forza 6.
