Forza Motorsport 7: General Discussion

[randys]

Yes you can create it in free play.

As for the car, it’s in the Rare Class and it costs just under 200k, before the upgrades needed to get it to R900.

If all things are equal(drivertar difficulty and mods), I don’t see why it wouldn’t payout half as much for half the distance, although if you’re VIP, you’ll now get an extra 100% on cash anyway so actually, you’ll be getting more than half for doing half distance in theory. 👍

Drivertar difficulty was on Unbeatable and the class limit was R class to stop P class cars sneaking in.

Car collection, Tier 3 RARE - and I dont see that car.

So now looking in BUY CARS and wait just a minute, there are cars in "car collection" or buy cars that are not the same? Geez, I have so much to learn.

Found it in "buy cars"...So I did the homologation, how do I do that other mod you mentioned?

What is the point of the one section showing tiers vs buy cars?

WHEN I played GT6 I would always install racing brakes and tune them up to max, right or wrong. When I look at this car it says racing brakes installed, in the future when I have a car and I want to do that I just go to tuning and upgrades to see if racing brakes are an option?

ALSO what "car division" do I set it to? Someone mentioned it to "unbeatable", not sure I want that but I dont see that anywhere.

 

[randys]

Another tip, put race difficulty on Unbeatable and race in the rain with Friction Assist On.

Unbeatable gives you 100% credits and with Friction Assist... well you can go where ever you want as fast as you want lol.

I see laps, max drivatars, game type, track scenario and car division.

Unbeatable?

FOUND unbeatable, drivatar or something.

It's the word after drivatar that you need to read.
(difficulty)

More than anything, you need to just play the game, have some fun, and learn what's what. It'll be much easier for you than trying to bounce between the game and internet for answers on every little detail. If you have the sound up, they explain a decent portion of it to you in the talking bits.

Yeah, I am trying to do too much too fast.

The multiplayer thing is disconnected from the server all the time anyway, so it wont matter. I had hoped that would not be an issue the way it was with GT6, though this seems worse, maybe because it is new and there are too many trying to play.

IN multiplayer we are all forced to use same level cars or are we allowed to use a car we have bought and applied upgrades to?

I see I am slower than others in a straight line and while I am using a couple assists right now while I get used to it, seems they are considerably faster. So multiplayer, can we use cars we have bought that exceed the PP number, or whatever that is called?

 

[Andrew R]

Auto transmission will always be slower in a straight line. Each race will have different restrictions, all depends on what lobby you're in.

 

[Northstar]

I only had about an hour to play so I figured I would do the buggy championship on standard length and New Racer difficulty just to get it out of the way.

Great game overall, but decisions like including these and no proper tracks is just dumb. Thankfully they are a very small part of the game.

That explains why the new NSX has AWD.

Makes me want to say NSX five times fast.

I just bought Forza 7 for 30euros. Will I miss many things without Xboxlive? I couldn't complete Forzathon in FH3 without Xboxlive.

Depends on whether you mean not having Internet or not having Xbox Live Gold.

Assuming it's the former:

• No Multiplayer
• No #Forzathon
• No Auction House
• No user-created liveries and tunes from other players.
• No Leaderboards
• No Rivals
• No Specialty Dealer
• No Exclusive Prize Crates
• No sharing of photos, tunes and paintwork.

Assuming it's the latter:

• No Multiplayer
• No #Forzathon for any events which require Multiplayer.

 

[queleuleu]

Thank you, I meant Xbox Live Gold. It's still a bit annoying that I can't win some cars because of the Gold requirement. (S14 in FH3).
After a month of GTSport, I realise how much I miss the classic GT/Forza formula and even with all its flaws, I'm sure I will have ton of fun doing all the events.

i got something for 14 days free when I turned on my machine, I will have to start paying to access the multiplayer, right?

Thanks again for all your excellent help.

 

[ImaRobot]

Oh how wonderful the Ai are..

 

[JR98]

Why the hell does the Forza GP championship have a race at 🤬 Virginia!? There are plenty of tracks that F1 race on and even some that they dont that would work fine (Mugello, Laguna Seca, etc.).

Really don't get it's inclusion since there's already 9 F1 tracks in game anyway.

Not even going to bother with this championship now since I can't even get a single lap done without crashing into a tire wall. Doesn't help that the AI can barely drive the RS17 in the first place.

If only I could skip this race like you could in Gran Turismo...

Correct, that is Xbox Live Gold.

LOL
I like ending when all cars getting away from you - sorry,we did nothing wrong
I realy started disliking dumbatars,i rather have old good Rossi,Davies etc.

 

[notsofast]

How do I get the game to show fastest lap time in minutes and seconds as opposed to km?

 

[randys]

Correct, that is Xbox Live Gold.

This is not a question because I have asked too many but the term

Xbox Live Gold

implies there is a Xbox Live that is not Gold.

OK I googled, I see there is a free version. I see also the paid version includes some programming like movies? Or access to Netflix but you have to pay for Netflix so maybe that means the app or something. Whatever.

 

[Populuxe]

From in-game menu, select "progress" then "options" then "HUD" then "units" then "English". That should do it.

Are you doing a race with a time limit instead of lap count? I've found if you do a time based race, lap times and race time are always set to distance covered.

 

[Snorevette]

It's pretty clear how sloppily some of the cars from Horizon 3 were ported. First of all, any car with roo bars apparently has the option for a body kit in the conversion menu, but the only option when you click on it is the stock body with no option to buy anything else. It's pretty easy to look over this as just a botched job of removing the roo bars, but more egregious is how some of the aero options for a lot of cars have mixed up stats. The '04 Impreza gets adjustable downforce from one of the rally front aero parts rather than the Forza aero, and the Holden Sandman's rear aero options are completely messed up - the Forza aero has the stats of the surfboards (non-adjustable, weighs 60lbs), the surfboards have the stats of the ute conversion (non-adjustable, removes 99lbs), and the ute conversion has the stats of the Forza aero (adjustable, weighs 9lbs).

Don’t do Timed Races, as they are measured on distance covered.

 

[notsofast]

Cheers. Im pretty sure I've already done that so Im looking at km/h instead of mph

I do a lot of timed races so this is probably it.

Thanks. I cant believe I overlooked that. Makes perfect sense

 

[HBR-Roadhog]

You can set a timed race and also set compare lap times which will show you your lap times and awards the win to the car with the fastest lap no matter the track position, distance or number of laps driven.

So for example you could set up a 1 hour race drive 5 laps, set the fastest lap time then go eat dinner while the AI keeps driving and still win the race though you only get paid for the number of miles you actually drove.

Do my owned cars that qualify for the given event show up on the screen as an option for me to drive when I am in "career" mode and trying to accomplish the different series and races?

I see I cant rent a car to do those, I have to buy a car. I need an easy way to earn money, I guess. Thanks.

 

[Nacho Libre]

Yes, they show up.

It seems you don't have the VIP multiplier (doubles your earnings) so the best bet is setting difficulty up (I set it usually at expert-pro, which increases your earnings by 60-80%). Also start by buyin the basic mod crates and fill your slots for them, when you have more earnings, buy the more expensive mod crate. When leveling up, go for the 50,000 credits (but if you see a car discounted to 0, get it as it will increase your Tier). As your level increases, you level up faster too.

Would this work with custom online lobbies? I could see an actual Time Attack series if it does.

Heads up, the Trump FCC is doing away with net neutrality, the one thing that keeps the internet fair and unbiased as to what you can and cant access.

Just better hope your Internet provider WANTS YOU to have access to the xbox site to play your game.
