No, it's people just trying to stir the pot. It wasn't a problem before Net Neturality, I doubt it will be after it is repealed, if that happens. It still has to be voted on.

I finally finished the last Forzathon on the list and got the astronaut suit. I took my time with this one as I really don't like autocross events, they're honestly another pet peeve of mine.

How big is the update data for FM7? I'll be getting this for Christmas, & I'm curious to know.

 

[HBR-Roadhog]

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

Yes, been doing it since Forza 4

The Zenki Silvia K's with a sport exhaust makes a sound that reminds me of Gran Turismo 1.

If the Drivatars are truly based off of peoples profiles using some sort of algorithm, then I say scrap the current profiles, limit the number of profiles used, use either real pro drivers or good gamers to build profiles for say the Pro or Unbeatable difficulty and do the same down line for the lower difficulty for players of same skill.

Unless Turn 10 sets up a ranking system, the profiles would not be based off of the Forza community as a whole, but from selected gamers based on there skills.

I realize this goes against the current system, but it hard to tell if I'm racing single player or in a open lobby sometimes.

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.

Net Neutrality was a topic long before the current administration. Obama had Tom Wheeler, a lobbyist for cable companies appointed as the chairman of the FCC, to which was once described as "needing a babysitter and hiring a dingo". Ajit Pai has replaced him, and isn't any better. It also isn't an issue regulated to the US; Europeans fought against it as well.

But, this isn't the topic for politics, either.

I really don’t ask or want for much, and I’m not really huge on a lot of supercars, but man I really would like the Hennessey Venom F5 to become available in one of these upcoming monthly car packs. That would be neato.

The game starts out at 67GB, 95GB if you’re playing on Xbox One X or Windows 10.

Monthly updates usually add another 500MB to that.

I cant use hand controllers, hurt my hands, so I only play racing games.

I only have two, GT and Forza 7.

 

[notsofast]

That glitch with the wing still hasnt been fixed? It was spotted just days after release

Think I'm heading in that direction,I cant seem to play as much as I used to,I am too agressive to get a wheel again...I used to break them regularly when I was a kid...

I hope it doesn't.

 

[notsofast]

I hope it doesn't.

Why so.

I was looking for real life liveries for the Aston Martin DBR9 last night and I couldnt find many apart from the factory Le Mans Gulf liveries and a Hexis livery. I'd love to be able to get my hands on some of the liveries that appeared in FIA GT such as BMS, Russian Age Racing, Phoenix and JetAlliance.

When did the prize crates change? There's dedicated car and gear ones now and the mixed ones are gone. They're cheaper too.

>>

New Prize Crates drop in 2 hours.

If they're themed I'm guessing it'll be Christmas/Thanksgiving related.

• All of the special Prize Crates give out Driver Gear only.
• There are crates with varying numbers of Driver Gears in them.
• The best deal is the 4+1 Driver Gear crate.

Since I work on a well-known trading card game, time to do what our community does best: open packs and extrapolate data from it!

• I had roughly 16,000,000 CR to spend so I bought 50 4+1 crates.
• Number of Legendary Driver Gears obtained: 12 (2 crates had 2 Legendaries in them)
• Approximate CR earned from duplicate Driver Gears: 8,000,000

Legendary Driver Gears that appeared*:

• Golfer
• Gen Pop
• Midnight
• Spa Day
• Samurai

Super Rare Driver Gears that appeared*:

• Business Suit
• Farmer
• Riveting
• Real McCoy
• Cyber
• Cheerleader

I imagine the pull rates for high rarities in each new Prize Crate are the same, the only difference is the price and quantity for each.

* Other Driver Gears at these rarities may have appeared, but as they’d be duplicates they wouldn’t show up as “New” for me.

So my FXXK changed from being a nice red in the garage to a quite hideous grey when I started the race,probly a known glitch but I only noticed it recently..

 

[RogsR34UK]

I have taken to doing Long races. It does get me to thoroughly try out the cars. I get a level for each race which is useful. The biggest issue was finding where it was set! Strange to relate it is an Assist (go figure)!

Well, guess I won't be doing the new Forzathon until this is sorted out.

It’s done that to a few of my cars in free play to me as well.

The new 30k mod packs are pretty good, I bought like 15 of them and got a bunch of legendary cards with 100% CR bonuses, and a bunch of 80-90% ones... I'm going to stock up on good mods while it lasts.

It seems like the default paint maps on some of the cars' racing models are a bit screwy. If you paint the body, save it, then repaint it in the default manufacturer color it'll show up correctly.

I wish they would fix the glitch that deletes stripes/accents/etc. on factory colors the instant you try to add a custom color. The Superleggera is a perfect example & has been there since FM6; repaint the spoiler to carbon (which is another old issue), and you lose the stripes....

Since we're talking about paint bugs for a minute.

I always thought it was a design decision to remove stripes/racing liveries when painting

On the main body, I can see that a bit. But it happens when you paint mirrors or spoilers that have nothing on them. By this point, I'm wondering if its a coding issue that forces the car to a "clean sheet" if you try to paint anything custom. Same thing with the decal editor; would be nice if there was an option to just remove everything, otherwise allow the game to treat manufacturer stripes/designs as hidden "layers" that aren't affected by trying to add new designs.

That way, for example using the GT3 RS 4.0, you could add some personal touches or try to recreate a real world PTS color on it without losing its unique design. For now, I have to rely on some super skilled painters (which I am thankful for their talent & shared interest), to get something like this.
