Forza Motorsport General Discussion Thread

Glad it helped. I was in FM last night doing free races trying out different classes. 95% of everything I tried was leagues better. A car or two still may have exhibited the "dead center" effect but was still better than before. It's kind of transformed the feeling and life of FM for me.

when the next update comes up by the way?

Should be 2 weeks away. Is this the Porsche Update or is that April? I remember seeing that somewhere. Would be great to finally get the 992 Gen. GT3R that's currently (and inexplicably) in Horizon before Motorsport.

April will be the Porsche update. March update is velocity and judging by earlier leaks it's half lamborghini's and half other fast/quick cars.

I've tried about 10 different cars ranging from C-R class. All of them seem to be much better with the newer settings. I have not tested any older cars though. Those typically have the very "numb" ceter steering feel to me.

So, I tried the preset K using the Nvidia app. From what I can see, DLAA image now looks sharper than TAA at native 1440p and the smearing in static elements on track (fencing, lamp posts, signage, etc.) is largely gone. However, the artifacts again become more noticeable if you go down with the settings (quality, balanced, performance and so on).

Ideally, a future update will bring full compatibility with DLSS 4 and frame generation, for those who want it/need it.

Lamborghini SC63 would be great.

It's leaked apparently. If all holds true I kinda can't wait for it. It's the slowest of the bunch but I just enjoy it's looks and it dosent sound half bad irl.

Aston Martin AMR-One LMP1 was terrible irl but was incredible in FM4. Maybe the same sort of virtual luck for the SC63

It's going down a similar path as the Aston AMR-One as a matter of fact. Some say they may pull the program before the IMSA season is over. It's still up in the air if they will even show up in Sebring in a few weeks

Edit:

I had the wrong car.

From what I've gathered, they seem to be banking on customer efforts to keep it going like their GT3 program & claim to be using its time in IMSA this year to develop the car to be ready as such. Which is strange because even they admit the LMDh class is extremely costly for a customer team.

I think Iron Lynx pulling out may have been the death kneel reading between the lines, but I'm not following it super close.

I wanted the MX-5 Cup car for the Roadster challenge. It's a great little car but do you really need to add anything to it? I got it to C500 but in the first race at stock it was just fine. I got to thinking that maybe it's good enough straight out of the box kind of like the real car is.

I had a bunch of Mazdas in my series with the replica 787 orange and green livery. Not just Cup cars but regular MX-5's as well.

in irl there has stock Mazda MX-5 series, slighty modified MX-5 Series and the MX5 cup
i see no reason for we dont have the 3 on FM

Them banking on GT3 customer teams to make the step up to Hypercar is a sadly unrealistic expectation. Even at the current cost, running a Hypercar is vastly more difficult and expensive than running a GT3. Out of all the global scale GT3 programs how many could realistically run a GTP/Hypercar? They burnt the bridge with Iron Lynx which was one of the only ones I can personally think of. Plus with WEC rules requiring 2 cars (unless a privateer entry) might also drive away potential teams wanting to step up. IMSA doesn't have that issue but given the cars performance in IMSA over the past Daytona and MEC rounds, I'm not sure any customers would feel confident in the package they're being delivered. It seems like Lamborghini themselves have almost given up on any hopes of the SC63 performing well since they don't seem to really be all that invested in the actual running of the car. Even Nissan put in more effort with the GTR LM Nismo and that car was arguably worse than the SC63 in terms of results and performance. Lamborghini needs to have a strong rethink on the entire program IMO. If they seriously believe in the cars potential they need to show it by committing more as a factory manufacturer and rely less on a theoretical customer team to solve their problems. It would be a crying shame if this car was relegated to the history books because of a lack of commitment. I'd hate to see another small Hypercar manufacturer leave the sport.

Losing Lamborghini would chalk up to 4 Hypercars that have left the class since it's inception. Glickenhaus, Vanwall, Isotta F were the other few. I do hope Lambo can get it together becuase theres still 5 solid years left of this current format but chances are dwindling quick.
