Hmm Thrust Master TX or Mad Catz PRF? Thinking Mad Catz for the F1 style quad gear/clutch paddleshift

It seems so weird to me that Infineon and Hockenheim weren't included in Forza 5, as they were first introduced in FM4, so I would imagine the layout and references are still pretty fresh. Also miss the different ToD presets, the warm morning/evening lighting looked so good on Infineon/Suzuka/Hockenheim, even though the only things that changed were literally just the skybox and lighting on cars lol.
It's my biggest gripe with FM5

The madcatz wheel keeps getting delayed, plus from what I have seen it is cog based FFB, and costs more than the TX does at this point. I have also heard that it only has 2 DOR's available, 270 and 900. The TX has a full range of adjustable DOR settings, and even more on pc. Not to mention that the T3PA pedal set is now available for the TX, the Baserboards mod allows fanatec pedals to be used with it (no modding, its a plug and play adaptor), and the T500RS pedals also work with the wheel, and within FM5. There is a H gated shifter coming out sometime this summer as well, and Thrustmaster have a far far better reputation than Madcatz for build quality and customer support. Also, the TX works in all the current pc racing simulations, works with dirt 3, grid 2, and F1 2013 on pc (have to manually configure the wheel though), it even works in burnout paradise lol. The TX is also fully supported on pc for the upcoming grid autosport, which I should have tomorrow via steam.

I have a question. I was doing the Nord+gp layout today in my A-class Viper, trying to beat some of you guys 
and while on my second lap I lost control a little and tapped the wall lightly.
Ever since the tap I felt I lost focus and seemed to be doing worse. although I finished the lap clean, and beat who I was trying I beat, at the end game selection menu (restart, replay, lb's ect) while its circling your car I noticed that my spoiler was gone. What I'm wondering is, does damaged/destroyed aero get calculated in? Or is it still "there" invisibly?

Yes, I've had it on a Datsun 510. It was nothing to do with the controller though as that is the only car I've had it happen so far. It was tuned to Bclass but it's unusable like that.Has anyone experienced their car veering sharply to the the left or right as if the
controller has momentarily lost the plot?

Paul, I have had some connectivity problems with my controllers. Sometimes the controller simply resets in the middle of the race. Sometimes the connection will degrade just a little bit, and I have experienced some random inputs during that. It happens in other games too. I find that playing with fresh batteries reduces the problem.Has anyone experienced their car veering sharply to the the left or right as if the
controller has momentarily lost the plot?

In Forza 4, when looking through your garage, you could press X to see extra stats on the respective vehicles. Has this been removed in F5, or am I missing something?

In Forza 5 you can still do that, but a lot of the other filtering options in FM4 are not there for looking up cars, designs etc.,.
A very simplified option in the car section to looking up cars by class, but other filtering options have been left out.

Thanks for the responses, guys. Yeah, I know about those stats, but there used to be a chart that would appear when the pressed X that would show a bunch of other stats, such as number of cylinders, type of car (sedan, coupe, DTM, etc.), tire sizes, and a variety of other info. I can't seem to find that in F5.

Yep, there's a few other small things that I'd like back. Nothing game breaking but would make things a tad bit friendlier

I think my disc is screwed, The music is all funny and If I accidentally hit a wall or another car, the crash sound repeats itself throughout the rest of the race, A bit annoying to say the least, hopefully a brief clean of the disc might do the trick as there is no sign of Scratches

If you have room, a full install of the game may help.
