Forza Motorsport 7: General Discussion

[Stang616]

Yeah that looks like Scott Dixon’s PNC Bank livery for sure.

Different livery on the Brawner Hawk than in FM6 as well.

That's the 50th anniversary livery for Andretti's Indy 500 win. Seems like a good tie-in for 2019 spec Indy cars.

 

[-Fred-]

The liveries don't match anything we've got in game anyway.

 

[nyrmetros]

Definitely need some more IndyCar action here.

[willbsn13]

Let's hope T10 will finally introduce the supposed AI overhaul this coming month. They still have yet to do that

That's not coming until next game, Esaki said this much on a forza friday a few weeks back. Basically would require complete coding overhaul, not feasible for FM7 (obviously for the new game it's likely)

 

[nyrmetros]

I'm sure the one dude who consistently posts about Indycars coming to Forza has busted many nuts at this.

Did you know that a Champcar is an Indycar, but not all Indycars are Champcars.......?

Does daytime always look so gloomy and almost foggy in this game? It's almost like the default is overcast.

As far as the tracks I normally play, yeah. Sebring does have a bright sunny day where you can see the haze from the heat, but it feels rare for the game to select it.

 

[Dsavage27]

They need to allow us to pick the time of day along with sky conditions, I mean they are halfway there already with the weather effects selections which are already good.

I drove Sebring last night and noticed the heat haze effect but the overall sky still looked more overcast. I've mainly driven real world tracks so far so I'm not sure how the Maple Valleys etc. look but I drove VIR the other night and the cars on the other side of the track looked like they were in a thick fog bank. There's not the bright sunshine like Project Cars 2 has. If there is I haven't seen it yet anywhere.

 

[RandomCarGuy17]

Okay, I want to get off topic for a second and talk about dlc cars. How does Turn 10 go about picking cars to license and model? I'm sorry if it's mentioned before, but I just forgot. I just want to rationalized for FM7, some vehicles they picked for 4x4s like the Ford Bronco in the Barrett Jackson pack. I just feel like there could've been better picks from Barrett Jackson over that Bronco.

 

[Stang616]

The Bronco is Mr. Jackson's personal car, so it may have been part of an agreement.

Ah, that can make sense.

Okay, I went a bit controversial than usual and created this video:

I know they won't, but I wished they would add another track as dlc. It would be perfect timing to add a new track when they're adding new IndyCars to the table.

 

[Dsavage27]

Exactly and Mid Ohio or belle isle would fit that bill nicely.

 

[PJTierney]

I highly doubt a new track is coming, but that’s fine by me. Forza Race Regulations is all I am after and I hope it turns out good

 

[Nielsen]

Now there could actually be new track coming, but we're better off keeping expectations low.

 

[-Fred-]

Not a fan of the current gen Indycars at all, but hey, if it makes people happy, so be it. I'm still hopeful we'll eventually get a proper IMSA "refresh" with DPis and current gen GT3 cars.

 

[Jezza819]

Yeah that would be great. I was shocked when I bought the game last weekend to see the old SLS Mercedes GT3 but not the newer AMG GT3 cars. But I should have expected as much from a company that just crams everything into "GT".

 

[Mr Fahrenheit]

I completely forgot that details on new Forza Motorsport game is coming up on May 7th. I'm guessing that is what "Motorsport Concept Development" on Forza Monthly announcement must be about.

I'm not really expecting E3 reveal level of information dump, but it'd still be interesting to see what kind of concept they're trying to go for.

Champcars would be the Holy Grail but UA18 is the next best unified IndyCar thing!

 

[nyrmetros]

Exactly and Mid Ohio or belle isle would fit that bill nicely.

We can hope and wish!
St. Petersburg
Mid-Ohio
Portland
Toronto
Belle Isle
Pocono (IndyCar / Nascar)

There are actual a lot of current and former IndyCar tracks in Forza 7......

 

[Nacho Libre]

Personally, I would be happy if they patched the baked artificial lighting (headlights, night time racing) even If that would mean leaving the original Xbox One behind (I just upgraded to the One X...)

I was just trying to get back into the game, finish off the final forza cup series ect. But somewhere between when I lasted played and now something happened to the PC version, Don't know if it a windows update or game update but it is literally unplayable right now. I have a locked 60fps but then it will dip into 30-40 fps range and cause a lag spike before going back to normal. I'm sure its not my hardware since it's over the recommended for 60 fps and it did it even after I unlocked the framerate and was pulling 150fps. I put in a support ticket but i doubt it will get any attention.

Could it be a driver? I heard that is a driver issuse that is just as you described in the previous version. It allegedly fixed in the the new one.

Yeah I've had exactly the same experience since returning to FM7 on PC. What card and driver version are you on. I'm running RTX 2080Ti with latest driver.

I'm using an AMD RX590 8GB, I was thinking it could be the driver but if anything it's been worse with the newest driver I tried 19.4.3. @PzR Slim since you are using Nvidia I am starting to think it might be the windows updates then? A little look on the reviews in the windows store shows some people also getting the bad performance after the new year.

Actually, yeah it could be Windows. Twice this year it was confirmed by Microsoft that updates were causing issues and the latest started last month.

What are you guys using for antivirus? I was having issues as well, but once I uninstalled AVG it was back to normal. Seems others have reported the same.
