So I won every race in the seaker championship but didn’t unlock the achievement. I did get the achievement for beating it.

It still shows I didn’t beat it. And it didn’t appear on my Xbox.
That achievement is for the "Elite" seeker championship. You must first win the driver cup championship then more races are unlocked in the seeker series including the 125 mile Nurburgring race. You have to complete all of them before you get the achievement

I think that there is another achivement for the basic seeker championship which would be high up on that list and if you were awarded the car then you would have gotten that achivement already but the elite one will take a while form there.

So... why the hell don't you get credits for 50 laps at Daytona? I thought they fixed the damn glitch?
I have always gotten credits when running 50 lap races there.
 
Funny, the car that I could get in my next level up is the Chevrolet Monte Carlo FE. I'm of course skipping it, I only drove it once just to crash it.

Or you can take it then sell it on the auction house when it comes. Also any one know why the Diablo SV has a reverse light on whenever you put the brakes on?
 
I don't do joke builds, I build a car to drive, not for a laugh. If I want a laugh, I'll watch Seinfeld.

Hey, that's the donk, right? Being born in the state I was, and also enjoying the Houston area for things like that, even though I won't do it myself means I can enjoy my "'Chevy Ridin' High'"
 
Yes and it's honestly one car modification trend that I loathe.

I like some of them myself. Others tend to be hideous. I look at it as a joke, since there's only one of it's kind in the game.

I wonder if someone was playing Midnight Club: Los Angeles and thought of this.
 
I actually like the Chevy Donkte Compto! Yeah it looks silly, but you can tell the guys at Turn 10 were having quite the laugh when they made that thing. And honestly with the right tune, it's actually a formidable opponent in A class.
Ask @JR98 and he'll tell you. :lol:
 
Has anyone elses free play been broken since the hoppers/rivals update? 95% of the time the game wont load the ai. i just get stuck in the pit lane with no way to start the race

FDC loads just fine

I haven't had any issues like that myself. I think there is a setting for start type which by default was rolling start and I have not changed it. Every race I have ran in freeplay starts on the track and rolling already. maybe check the options or advanced options on the setup tabs

I have a spare code for #2; looking for the GAME UK suit if anyone wants to do a swap.

Anyone experience fps drops when racing in the rain w/ cockpit view? I read this thread: https://forums.forzamotorsport.net/...-in-Hockenheimring-rain-and-cockpit-view.aspx

They seem to be right, I tried cockpit view on Hockenheimring in the rain and it does show lower FPS. Who QC'ed this? Along with Forzavista being a shell of itself, every week it's coming to light this was slightly 'rushed' for the X next month. No "rock solid" 60fps for the first time on console. I guess they figured they would patch away anything, but then again, according to their 'KNOWN' issues thread, they don't seem to be aware of it.

Well, I beat the Forza Drivers cup. My last race was the prototype group racing class using the Ford GT40 and that was fun.
Now, the elite events are open for me to enter, but I think I'm going to take a break from it.

Well that’s a very sad day indeed. I know some DLC tracks have been a bit unstable, but it’s poor when the base game does it.
 
So now that I have a few online races under my belt, I have got to say: it is extremely difficult to pick a car in the time given with all of the loading the game is trying to do. And just forget trying to give a driver feedback during the same time.

And if you're getting lapped, for the love of all that is holy, get out of the way. I swear the only time bad drivers seem to be able to find the racing line is when you're trying to lap them.
 
No argument here, and you'll see that I never presented it as a rule, rather it was a suggestion of exercising better etiquette.
 
You should definitely use Looking for Group, you're always going to get bad drivers in hoppers.
Have you found it useful to create an LFG, and then bring all of those players into a Hopper?

I am guessing if you had a group of 16 or so it would be really easy to kick problematic players.

The thing I like about Hoppers is that they’re always full and you don’t need to manuallly set up races. The only downside is that you get people that either don’t know or don’t care about what they are doing.

To be fair, it seems less of a case of rushing the game and releasing it with bugs, and more of FM7 really pushing the original Xbox One to its limits. Still, it's been a rock-solid 60fps experience for me, apart from the occasional frame-skipping online experience that seems to be solved only by restarting the console (unless it restarts itself).

As for Forzavista being a "shell of itself"... Graphically speaking it surely doesn't seem that way - and as far as the cheesy introductions go, I think those were actually only available in FM5. I'd also wager that the reduced focus on the encyclopedic aspect of Forzavista came under pressure for the community that for the most part deemed it useless and actually asked T10 to remove it completely (a thing I'm glad they didn't). Still wonder why they took out the data displays, tho...
 
Well my hands are cramped up beyond belief, but the upshot of that is that I’ve beaten Newgardens time of 1:43.807 with a 1:43.774. :eek:

That was done without TC and given the top guys are running it, I’m gonna go back and see if it can give myself some extra breathing space should Newgarden decide to take another swing at it.
 
Hoppers are terrible.

And the private servers are only working for me and friends under a VPN. Unbelievable. We're in Brazil. :(
 
I can't believe how half-assed they were with the hoppers. Sure it looks cool to see the different cars and drivers chilling in pit row, but what's not cool is how much the darn game freezes. Unacceptable.
