Happy New Year everyone, here is to Year 2 of (hopefully) 10+, also 25th anniversary of the original first Forza Motorsport (2005)
I hope the year feels like the end of last year was for FM, lots of fun updates, new fun cars to drive and awersome tracks with great returns
By the way, when the BMW Update is suposed to be announced next monday?

I think that the V8 Supercar division is the most fair in terms of AI strength of any that I've ran so far. Or I guess a better way of saying it is that it's more like what you have in the lower classes E, D, C, B instead of the AI tweak that has infected S, R, and P.
I can run level 5 comfortably and I've even ran a couple of races at 6 and been very competitive IF I've started towards the front. You can't start in the back half of the field because there is still a cluster wreck of cars in the first couple of turns and the lead AI just runs off. Still can't understand why this far into the game's life and we still cannot choose your starting position in free play.

I don't know. I only run quick races. I don't want to go through a full race weekend (practice, qualifying, etc).

May I ask where you got that Visual Target mod? If not, a backup of the Visual Target folder?The track lighting looks better than in visual target mod but the interior lighting and reflections are so much better in the mod. The lack of rough surface reflection or even on some fully reflective material reflections and the complete absence of RTGI in the cockpit makes it look worse than the mod. The interiors in the mod looked soo good thanks to RTGI and full correct RT reflections that it made the materials and shaders look alot better.
Left is the mod and right is patch 15 maxed out with RTGI

The Xbox Commodore has the FM7 horsepower (620) instead of the 650 that both the base game Holden and Ford have, and none of the engine upgrades seem to put it at the right level to the existing Forza AUS "spec" so perhaps that is why.
It also doesn't have the Dunlop branded tires, which is just cosmetic of course.
Interesting that it's not just a re-livery of the base-game Walkinshaw Commodore, but still a very weak addition to the game in my opinion. I get they needed something Australian, but any of the other missing Aussie cars would have been a better addition, like the XR, FGX or XY Falcons, Holden FX sedan, hell even the Sandman.

Agreed. When I saw Eagle Rock as the first race I really scratched my head and couldn't figure out why they would use that track for a Ute, not to mention it was already used in the previous series. Why not Yas Marina, Grand Oak, Mugello or Kyalami? These tracks don't get used nearly enough in single player. And even with the lack of branding and modding that reward Holden supercar should very well be in Forza AUS division. Some sloppy work T10 did with update 15.

They need to take Eagle Rock out of the rotation until they can fix the awful AI. If you want to run it as an oval that's fine but the AI just wants to barrel into those first two turns of the "A" section causing a traffic jam and then they brake check leading onto the oval. I think the next time I see that in a challenge I'm just going to start from P1 and see if that will eliminate some of the chaos.
I was looking forward to the Ute challenge but I was very disappointed in the track choices. First off that stupid Fraggle Rock. They don't run full Road Atlanta just the sprint section. But the topper was Bathurst at night in fog in a thunderstorm. I hated that.
The Xbox rewards Supercar is not in the Forza AUS division with the other Supercars?!?! But the regular Holden Supercar is. When I saw the Xbox car was the reward car I sold the Holden Supercar I bought a few days ago since I didn't think I needed two of them. But now if you can't run the Xbox one with the other Supercars I need to go back and buy the regular one again.

I've noticed the 2013 Holden Supercar V8 has few differences compared to the 2017 one:
Less power but higher downforce compared the 2017 Holden
The engine sound is different.
I didnt go in depth further but they are the most notable differences i could see.
So...this Holden has the highest car value of the game ????

Yeah the Xbox Holden felt like a duplicate,i dont know what turn10 doing for this Holden getting on the same division as the MX5 cup. Really stupid from them.

THERE may have been no ex-V8 Supercars enter the Invitational Class of the 2022 Liqui Moly Bathurst 12 Hour, but that’s not to say there are none of them

From what i know in surface level, PG job roles tend to be more long-term than the T10 ones, so i guess they feel better stay in PG, also there has the distance between UK and USA West Coast.

its not just microsoft tho, most big tech and/or big gaming companies cheap out their jobs in seeking more short-term profits, they purposely do it cut costs so their top top heads like Satya can win some extra cash and company shareholders also be happy anough to not fire him and his company buddies

It is possible the vacancies have been filled but they haven't updated the site yet? As it relates to Forza, they probably only update it once a monthIt seems that as of January 2 of 2025, the vacancy of art director at Turn 10 has not been filled...

Also, as mentioned above, geography might be the issue with T10 and PG. I mean who would want to leave an England currently under a foot of rain/sleet/snow to go and work in sunny California

Why leave the rainy, gloomy weather in England for a similar climate in the Seattle area??? 😉Also, as mentioned above, geography might be the issue with T10 and PG. I mean who would want to leave an England currently under a foot of rain/sleet/snow to go and work in sunny California

I had another one of these weird races tonight. HSV Maloo, Class B, 10 laps Road America. Level 5.
Look at how far the leader finished in front of me. 36 seconds. And how much faster their fastest lap was than mine. And also look at the gap from me back to 3rd place, 25 seconds. But the odd thing is is that the leader car did not start out from the front and just pull away. On lap 3 I was in 3rd place behind it and the car that finished 3rd overall was in 1st at that point. We all went into turn 4 almost together and that Mercedes got around the Challenger going up the hill to turn 5. I got around the Challenger on the next turn so I was right behind the Mercedes going into the Carousel. But then the Mercedes just took off like a rocket. It made that 36 second gap in just 6 and a half laps. That's just not right. That's like if the Mercedes was a high A class car racing all B class cars.
I guess this was just a glitch but it really frustrates me. Between this and the atrocious AI and the bashing that is still happening, I'm really losing my patience with this game.

Whereas I had great fun at Mount Panorama in the dark, pouring rain, level 8, started 10th and quickly got into 6th but from there had to really work at it to get to the front by the end of lap 3 and held on to win. 🙂 Plenty of divebombing into corners leading up to skyline and subsequent backouts by me as I was quicker through that part of the track. Ace fun!

They really need a flag system. Unbelievable. I got spun out after the AI decided to divebomb without any opportunity to take the lead and sent me from 2nd to last.

Would you believe a Drivatar named Sydney Scum (!) spun me on the uphill straight of Panorama while going for first place? I did have an incredible recovery and two laps later I had the pleasure of putting they on the wall, took the penalty and still got first place.

Just saw this screenshot in the Forza.net forums, if true this would be a fantastic update with the M Hybrid V8 and M4 GT3
And interestingly a new to Forza 3.0 CSL (the one in the game is from 1975)Similar threads
