Nice photo; great car too, unfortunately, the turbo kit from stock to sport or race results in zero HP gain! :grumpy::grumpy:

A quick couple to get back into the swing of things. Think I need a little TV calibration though.

Even if you don't think they are synced, they look to have come out beautiful. It's been a good couple of year since I seen a post from you on this topic :lol: You need to add me on Xbox Live too :P

God this game looks amazing. I'm seriously considering getting an Xbox One (hoping that it'll get a discount soon of some sort). I was wondering if anyone would be able to get a picture of the 1990 Camaro in the game, I was hoping that they would of improved its visuals for Forza 6, and I haven't seen a picture of it yet. Also, would anyone be able to tell me if you have the ability to view the engine bay of it in Forza Vista mode? Because I know it didn't have it in Forza 5. Hopefully in the next few months I'll be able to contribute to this thread :)

After reading your reply I bought the 1990 Camaro last night and sorry to say, you still can not view the engine bay in Autovista mode. T10 said that there are some vehicles they will never show the engines. A bit of a bummer but I guess there isn't much we can do about that. I thought they were just unfinished autovista cars but for whatever reason, many cars still don't have detailed engines. Not sure if that is just a cover up for not having the time to complete the autovista, or it is legit that they cant show the engine.

Thanks, thought the colours looked a little washed out when I got them from Forza website but after uploading to Flickr they seem better.

Only just got the one so missed out on 5 (Didn't miss much from what I saw and read anyways ha) Friend request sent btw
 
Hey do you guys know if there's amm I don't know.. a cheat or something.. to keep the flip-open headlights up on cars (RX-7 or F50 i.e.) during daytime races? Oddly they remain closed. Maybe for aerodynamics' sakes :lol:

I think it looks fine. Speaking of calibration...

Do you think its possible to download free software (like off torrent or something) stick a USB in your console, and calibrate your TV? I'll do a search myself.. but was wondering if you by any chance, have had user experience in that regard.

There's software like that? Even if there is, I doubt a TV would have the necessary resources to be able to open some kind of program. What exactly are you trying to calibrate? Are you trying to match your TV and Monitor like Stoney is talking about?

Well, I've never calibrated my TV to begin with, but I'm told it's a must. The colors and blacks, greys, whites look fine on my TV, I do not believe there's any calibration needed. I've tried to replicate some of the photos taken of the game pre-release, and I do not see much difference in quality versus the pre-release screens posted by T10.

I'm fairly certain the factory calibrations for my TV are enough for movie-watching (Cinema picture setting) and Standard (for gaming). Thoughts?

The thing is, when you calibrate your tv to match what is being shown on monitor, the colors are going to be washed out and dull. The default settings for the photoslider are pretty dull, and if you upload a default photo and go look at it on your desktop, that is how your TV is going to look. If you are really into photomode then it is a must, but if you aren't I wouldn't bother.

Look at that photo, this is what I match my TV with, and this is 100% default settings from game. This is done only so that way when I change my photomode settings it'll match between my TV and Computer.

What makes it easier, though, is if your TV has multiple HDMI slots. The way my TV works is that it saves individual settings for each slot. I have one for Photomode, strictly, and I have one for movies and other games.

This is not going to be a gaming setting, you're mistaken. This setting is going to be very dull and boring for gaming. This is solely for shooting photos on FM6. You are somewhat correct on the assumption that most TV's are set to be vibrant and pop from factory, for wow factor.

Well, I'm not into Photo mode like some of you are. So I guess for now, all set. Colors, blacks, greys and whites show up as they should - all detail is visible and there's no black or white crush. Neither are the colors washed out. I'm talking about gaming and movies, not Photo mode.

You should have elaborated, because he's strictly talking about photomode. So with no info I assumed you where talking about the same thing.

Aww man, that kinda sucks, though I kinda figured that to be the case though, the 3rd gen isn't exactly the most popular Camaro unfortunately. I wish it got showed just a little bit more love, but oh well, I'll deal with it, I still wanna get this game anyways just for everything else. Thanks for checking that out for me man. But yeah, I'm sure they just figure they would better put those resources towards the newer cars that people will care about more rather than a car already in the game. Maybe some day though, I can be hopeful right? lol
