Is anyone else having an issue with the message center? I'm getting nothing showing up from it.

That's been a problem for weeks now. Take your Xbox offline for about 20 seconds, then go back online and reload Forza,

Are my eyes fooling me or did the new update finally remove the custom front aero on Porsche 997 GT3 RS 4.0?

Me too, didn't get my credits for like 3 weeks.

There is one new driver gear in the September update, and it's a drag racing suit.

Yes, finally !!!

Other small things I noticed after the update is that the AI drives better and hangs with you more on straight aways, at least on pro and unbeatable. I swear before this update they were sloppy and slow at times, so to me good to see they give a better challenge. And in the tuning menu the first page where it shows your 0-60 and top speed it also shows your estimated quarter mile time.

It was the turns where I noticed I gained and put ground on the AI. The straights On some tracks they had a speed advantage that was bizarre.

Even the turns now they seem to not brake as hard carrying more speed, I can't pull away as easy.

I don't know if any one else has mentioned this, but with the new update, in the upgrade section when you toggle through the stats when seeing what the part will do for your car, it has added 1/4 mile time in addition to 0-60 and 0-100 times.

You got treed... by a whopping 45 minutes

Haha ah damn lol

The old lady that worked the time booth at Houston Raceway Park would call that camping and ask if you had a nice stay at the starting line lol.

With all the excitement about Horizon 4, I almost forgot to tune into the watch.forzarc.com livestream for all the goodies.

Does it still lift its front end through turns unrealistically though?

Of course it still does. It took them nearly a year to fix a simple cosmetic issue... don't ask them too much!

 

[Nielsen]

The front still bounces funnily. While annoying, it doesn't annoy quite me as much as the fake aero part did. Anyway, the bouncing is not overly pronounced when being mindful of mid-corner throttle control. Perhaps not the preferred driving style for a modern trackday car, but maybe it can be tuned out with a few adjustments? I don't know.

Multiplayer has been unplayable for me since the update. I am constantly having high bandwidth/latency issues since the update no matter what time of day I try to play and with nothing else running in the background. I can't finish a race without having stuttering cars fly into me.

My internet isn't great but it's been good enough to play multiplayer up until now. I can play Horizon 3 just fine too without this issue.

I've had a hard time connect to most multiplayer aspects in the past few weeks, so you're definitely not alone. Although, once I finally connect I dont experience the latency issues you're describing.

Ended up trying out one of those open track meet ups yesterday with @JR98 and @Cowboy. Great fun! It ended up giving us the Nordschleife, and we spent about 3 hours or so on the track just constantly hotlapping. Of course we had a few idiots trying to take us out but other than that it was pretty fun.

Anybody interested? If not, no biggie. Just gauging interest on who's keen to try the new feature (without the hassle of public lobbies)

I just noticed the Xbow GT4 has lost its livery in the car dealer, it's now plain carbon fiber.

Seen that too,.must have been with recent September update. I just went and found a custom livery to fix it though.

After the recent update, is anyone else having trouble loading cars with custom liveries? In my game it now takes somewhere around 20-25 seconds for the most complex liveries.

I was going to bring it up earlier today. Weird stuff.

 

[Dsavage27]

Yeah it's definitely taking longer to load liveries good ol T10, fixing things while screwing up other things

The Free Play is a bit bugged now. When you change the car restrictions and it tells you to change vehicles, you click OK but it takes you straight back to the race settings. If you click Back (Esc for me) it won't.

It's not like the original livery was anything to write home about anyway.

Cut perfect (.000) reactions three times now in drag mode.

Another is that when you specifically lock the car selection to a specific division, if you remove upgrades under "Car Restrictions", it then returns it to selecting all the cars in the game rather than all cars in a specific division.

We want to race with cars in certain divisions without the homologation (like the purely original versions). Either they fix that or add it to the race settings under a category called "Homologation: on or off".
