I have checked the car, and sad to say, there are no visual modifications for it.I haven't unlocked it yet, but I'm going to assume the option isn't there; it would be a nice touch if T10 allowed us to switch between the two aero kits under the exterior mods tab.
Esp. considering that Nissan seemed to have kept the actual #23 Nismo Pennzoil car in its championship winning form & the car we have is the #2 Zexel car in its configuration before Nissan turned it into a replica & now use it as a demonstrator due to value of the original car. Additionally, the original car is also now in the hands of the Fuji Motorsport Museum, so it's not likely going to be used again for a long time.
If Playground Games was responsible for such a thing, it would feel much better to play on a controller. Forza Motorsport suffers quite a bit in this regard, particularly with high-end supercars and race cars. The steering does not respond fast enough and lacks connection to the road surface, so I find myself missing apexes and jumping on the throttle too soon. Depending on the situation, it can result in either understeer or oversteer, meaning that I have to drive more conservatively. It's a lot harder for me to know the limits of each car and that's what frustrates me the most. The worst thing about it all is that I have to work a lot harder than I would in Forza Horizon, so I end up feeling a lot more tired. When I play a racing game, I want to feel connected to the car and have fun instead of struggling.Either that, or Microsoft just throws their hands in the air and assigns Playground Games to do a Forza Horizon Sport
Of course it’s all very much ‘citation needed’, but there’s been multiple reports from people contracted to work at T10 that it was truly being made from scratch, but the timeline to actually get the game out was taking too far long, so they scrambled to get it all into the pre-existing engine which is why it’s so fraught with issues.
Yeah I've felt similar for a while. To me, the way the 'car building' system was implemented felt like a really last minute poor idea of 'progression', when they have no other real sense of progression. Absolutely nothing changed about building your car, it was exactly the same as any other Forza game, just with everything unlocked excruciatingly slowly. If they completely revolutionised the games customisation system, maybe I'd be okay with their progression idea, but what they went with was completely lazy.

The high resolution textures download make no sense, the road and grass textures look lower res than FM7 lol
While you are right that the textures themselves appear lower res, it depends on your Dynamic Render Quality setting on the PC at least.
I'm using DRQ at high on PC for 1440p. I used to increase the resolution scale beyond 100% to get a sharper image, but after the latest update/reinstall and without the textures package, I don't really need to. Now the only setting I tweak is anisotropic filtering at 16x.
@Nielsen I know that it's been said countless times before, but we probably shouldn't underestimate how much trouble the pandemic caused during important phases of the development of FM '23. Chris Esaki himself called it "The Dark Souls of game development". Who knows how many corners that had to be cut to still make it in a reasonable timeline? Perhaps I'm naive, but I still hope FM '23 will have a Cyberpunk or No Man's Sky redemption arc, but we'll see I guess.
I could be wrong about this, but to me the difference between the controller support in Horizon and Motorsport, if any, is that Horizon is built around the player experience and FM strives for realism. Thus, the huge majority of vehicles in Horizon are easy to control while the ones in this game depend on the setup, tyre grip, weight and other factors.
I generally tend to run 3/4 front aero, 2/3 rear aero and drop the steering ratio down to about 80% - this makes the maximum lock a lot smaller. There's a few other things such as decreasing the front anti roll bar to around the same as the rear.Tonight I finally got around to buying the Cadillac LMDh. Is there something wrong with this car? It's awful. Instead of a race car it handles more like this Cadillac. It feels like it's steering ratio is way off.
I'm going to have to find a tune for it so if anyone has any suggestions of a tune I would appreciate it.
Yeah there is something wrong with it. It doesn't really feel like a prototype at all, but rather a fast GT car. When you compare it to the 963 it doesn't even feel like they are part of the same class really, although the lap times aren't wildly different.Tonight I finally got around to buying the Cadillac LMDh.

I wouldn't mind but these Cadillacs weren't fun to drive at all for me. I'm considering selling them for funds for next week's tour and also to reduce car cruft in my virtual garage.
I ran both the DPi and the LMDh around Road Atlanta last night. I ran the DPi before I bought the LMDh. Partially because I had not ran the car in a long time and also to give a reference to the LMDh. You're right, the DPi is more on point. Feels like a proper prototype even in bone stock no tuning which is how I run all cars. One negative was that I could not use 2nd gear to come out of turn 7. It will spin the car out every time. So 2nd gear is off limits.
