Forza Motorsport 7: General Discussion

[Omologato]

So I have been having a weird problem since the new patch went live. When I am in a C Class lobby (I mention this because it's the only lobby I go into), after the finish of every race I have a gaggle of cars piling up and obscuring my view of EVERYTHING (I cannot see my drivatar, the new track, the list of other players, etc) for the first good 10-20 seconds before they disappear. I suspect it has something to do with the addition of spectate, but it's seriously cramping my ability to change cars, which of course I still have to wait for the track to load before I try that, giving me 15 seconds or less to choose from my bevy of cars. And no, the remedy is not driving an '04 Civic every race.

Edit: looks like they're aware:

Looks like a new Civic may be coming, though curiously enough I saw no in-game model at all and Slap “famously” always drives in cockpit view on his channel

Maybe somebody can screenshot the pause screen from the start of the race and see if “Honda Civic ‘18” was the car he was in

 

[JR98]

Looks like the pause menu is shown in the background at 0:52. I can’t make out what the make or model says but it’s definitely a B Class Car.

 

[Drex124]

It just says Honda Civic, B 523

 

[Stang616]

The '16 is C class, so it is quite possibly the '18.

The '16 is C class, so it is quite possibly the '18.

That's homologated though, in stock form it's in B class.

With that said, considering you can't feel the g-forces and suspension loads, combined with the fact it's not as scary to do it on a simulator because if you crash all you have to do is hit reset, I'm fairly sure that with an actually good driver, the in-game lap should have been faster than the real thing.

 

[SlipZtrEm]

Don't get your hopes up, guys:

B523 is the stock rating for the existing 2016 CTR in-game.

So they had a gamer in a 2016 Civic and a race driver in a 2018 Civic? It invalidates their whole video.

Yep. I don't think they expect video game obsessives to pick up on these details, though.

 

[-Fred-]

They're mechanically similar for the most part, I believe the real difference, aside from the obvious body, lies with the rear suspension. That's still quite a difference.

 

[Stang616]

It's a 2018, even the caption of the video says so.

 

[Populuxe]

Here's a direct quote of Slaptrain: "I'm pretty excited to be the first gamer to actually be racing a 2018 Honda Civic Type-R."

 

[Nielsen]

The new Type-R obviously will be included in Forza at some point. The question is when, but this video would suggest sooner rather than later.

True, but it seems unlikely the new model matches the 2016 for its PI rating. Possible, since it gains both weight and horsepower, but still unlikely.

Indeed. I wouldn't be surprised if it shows up at some point.

Hmm, maybe another free Honda pack with the new Type-R and the GRC Civic?

I could go for that.

 

[Silver Arrows]

I could go for that.

We already gave the rubes their free car pack with the Hyundai N Pack, don't give them ideas.

Though I would also be down for that, considering the '18 Type R is next on the 'most wanted cars' bounty list.

 

[-Fred-]

Turns out Graeme Rahal ain't got anything on me. How about that Indycar ride, then?

Seriously though, even the most hardcore simulator out there will yield faster lap times than a real car going around a track. Perhaps a VR equipped motion rig would change that, but if you can afford one of those, just get yourself a real racecar instead.

Yes press select car and press back.
It will be normal after that.

I just thought this might be interesting to point out, since I haven't seen anyone mention it yet.

Your pause menu says "Honda Civic '16", but the pause menu in the video:

Just says "Honda Civic". I don't see why the string would be different in the developer version if it's the same car, but either way it's different.

From the official Tweet from Honda:

Honda presents R vs R – a mixed reality race between real and virtual. Watch @IndyCar driver @GrahamRahal in the real 2018 #CivicTypeR take on pro gamer @SLAP_Train in the virtual 2018 #CivicTypeR in @forzamotorsport. See who wins: http://honda.us/RvsR

That should remove any doubt that it is coming and the car in the video is the 2018 Civic.

 

[RaceFuchs]

Cool stuff... much going on with Forza right now. Keep them coming!

 

[PJTierney]

Proper racing

 

[GTPVenomZombie]

Absolutely loving the hatchbacks in FM7! The Mini John Cooper Works '09 has become one of those cars I feel at home with.

The hatchbacks look stunning, they're fun to drive and make for great races. I hope we get more hatchbacks in upcoming DLC, like the newest Mini Cooper S model.

Defiantly one of the good points of FM7, has many decent hatchbacks that are fun to drive and the in game models look stunning.

 

[RazorSharkz]

Wasn't there an thing in the last update about custom grids? Sorry for not reading myself but what does that entail?

 

[Populuxe]

When did this get fixed? I'm fairly confident it still said Dodge Charger just over the weekend...

And now it's back to being called Dodge Charger 72.

 

[Silver Arrows]

good god how can this car be ****ed up so many times over the past few months

 

[-Fred-]

10 e-bucks it won't have the correct engine sound.

I'm seriously starting to wonder why T10/Playground even put this car in the Hot Wheels expansion of FH3 if it was going to have this many problems.
