Forza Motorsport 7: General Discussion

[SPhilli911]

It boggles my mind that a company so large as Turn 10, making a billion dollar franchise, doesn't have the capability to launch games without modeling/ sound errors, especially errors that existed in previous games. Another example is the 991 GT3 RS, still has the incorrect rear wheels as it did in FM6 and FH3. Though sorta less important, the Fiesta ST still has incorrect badge placement since FM5 (though that may be a result of input by Ford). I forgot to check, but I wonder if the 2017 Focus RS still has the "ST" logo on the steering wheel like it did in FM6.

Small details, sure. And with 700 cars, maybe they really can't catch all the things. But, if those problems existed in previous games, you have to wonder why they don't correct them.

The other night I experienced a few issues that have only happened since installing this game.

1. Game froze up during downloading and installing of multiple hoonigan cars to my garage. Had to perform a soft system reset.

2. During an invitation race my xbox just decided to say "Goodbye Alan" and logged me out of the game for no apparent reason, the xbox stayed on.

3. Hooligan mustang completely missing its alloy wheels, car was literally floating on its tyres/tires!

Those visual damage mechanics though..

Looks like T10 received the damage modeler from PD when they gave up their sound guy!

Exactly what I was thinking!

Just did my first race with the Ford GT LM at Maple Valley. My first impressions are that this game is a bit more intense feeling than Forza 6. Had to disable the annoying camera shake but otherwise this game is looking and playing good so far.

That can be turned off?? Oh thank goodness. Going down a straight made me feel nauseous.

Yep, just go to the HUD settings in the options menu and it's the 3rd one down

Is it also possible to turn off the ugly wobbling of car parts? The bouncing windscreen wipers look like a graphical glitch and it's just wrong when the side mirrors on an Audi RS4 are shaking as if they were attached with gaffer tape. These visual gimmicks are a disservice to the car manufactures to be honest. It only looks fairly accurate on race car rear wings.

The bouncing windscreen vipers

Viper's on your windscreen?! Better call a snake handler!

Thanks, now corrected. The occasional joys of being a non-native English speaker.

I agree. This was a small detail I liked at first, certainly on the classic cars, but when a brand new car's windshield wipers are also shaking, it's just odd. I did notice the side mirrors shaking but I thought that's because I hit a wall. You're telling me they also shake all the time like the wipers? Hmm

The example I brought up with the Audi RS4 wasn't related to any prior collisions or damage. Always shaking when cars pick up just a bit of speed.

Just in case The Racing Monkey's method wasn't quick enough, Super GT found a way to rank up even faster.


I already started using this and my own strategy is simple to get cash if I level up unless the car in question costs 50,000cr or lower.

EDIT: I'm now in Tier 7, yay.

The 'Storm Chaser' achievement just popped for me...

And I didn't even race in the rain... And I haven't since the first day of Ultimate Edt release.

It's good for XP... It's not even close to decent for cash.

You guys NEED to check this out! All credit goes to InsanoRacing for finding/discovering. 👍

Spoiler

I've been doing this glitch just now and I promise you, it'll boost up your tier level super fast! I'm currently at tier 12 because of it. Just follow the instructions in this video (except doing the 50 lap part).

 

[RandomCarGuy17]

I'm confused, you're telling me it's not good for cash when it allows you to level up faster? In return, allows you to earn cash prizes from leveling up faster.

Basically what Toko posted in the spoiler.

Just that guy talks too much. And there is an easier method combining both the XP and this "money/rewards" method.

I won't tell how to do it though.

You can find it easily on google and/or youtube!

What happens if you bypass the 30 second race and go straight to the drift? Does it not allow the options for the race to end automatically?

I honestly don't know as I haven't tried it.

Yeah, I saw his post right after posting mine.

 

[Phoenix]

Anyone figured out what the max car tier is yet?

 

[-Fred-]

I've done it a few times and honestly it's so boring to do I'd rather get the XP and money the hard way... at least that way you're driving.

 

[RandomCarGuy17]

Well for me, I'm not doing the drift xp trick all of the time as I also think it can get really boring. I'm just doing it for a few sessions, then hop back into some regular races.

 

[TokoTurismo]

I'm just glad to do these glitches since the cars in the game are pretty expensive, plus you need certain cars to fully complete the career mode soooo yeah.

The auction house is going to be pretty worthless with all these Glitches going on.

I completely agree.

I hope they patch it sooner rather than later. Yes, i've done it a couple times. But I still hope they fix it.


Though, if anyone wants tips on which car is better to use, get a hold of the Sauber C9. Upgrade it and reduce the aero values to the lowest and it will go 415-420 km/h on the straights on Daytona. Hitting high 34 second laps.

I couldn't get that method to work, the 3 lap method and 30 second timed race. I tried it 15 times, so I'm just using the Ram drift method now.

Why 3 laps?

It works wonders with just 2 laps.

Also:

Spoiler

when pressing restart after the 30 second timed race, click continue on the 1st place screen, but on the credits screen, wait at least 1 minute before pressing continue.

254MB update anyone?
