Relaxed, General Forza 6 Chat

[SimTourist]

So that's $1,000,000... Wonder if that covers the licensing fee?

We'll never know.

 

[nick98]

Does anyone else think the Carrera GT is maybe the best, most evil sounding car ever?

That, and the TS040 as well.

 

[SlipZtrEm]

The MLG site is awful. It keeps placing me on random teams, and apparently I needed to sign up again for today's event, not just check-in, so I'm out until next week. 👎

 

[05XR8]

I wonder if someone would buy this in the Market Place, if there were one.

"Slightly used '73 Holden HQ Monaro 350GTS:
Built to HQ Racing Series specifications
12 races
Racing suspension, professionally installed roll cage, racing exhaust, racing carburetor, 3:55 gears, new brake pads, ATS wheels(stock wheels available if needed).
Chassis straight, runs. Will need some work. Inbox me if interested.

Man, just seeing that pic reminds me of a certain feature we had since FM3 and FM4 (forgot it's name). I miss it so much.

It made getting certain cars easier by bidding for them, and earning money fun. Man, can we at least get something similar to it again, as well as gain free parts after obtaining a manufacturer's affinity level up to lvl 4?

 

[05XR8]

When I gained my first affinity level, I was wondering why I didn't get a percentage discount. I kept playing and noticed no 100% discount. That feature was perfect. Bring back the loyalty discounts!

 

[bremics]

I understand why the auction was removed and will miss it, but I truly miss the storefront. Made finding tunes and liverly easy. No reason for its removal.

They do need to do something different with affinity, the current reward is kinda pointless for all the effort.

Credits are easy to get, you'll have a Scrooge McDuck vault in no time and a garage of each car in every color.

I dunno. As much as I appreciated saving so many credits with that, Level 4 is too soon to start getting free parts for an entire manufacturer. It throws a bomb into a major aspect of progression.

I'd be fine with free parts being the gift for a maxed-out affinity, though. Certainly more useful than the current Mod prize.

I had the same thought myself Slip, and definitely agree with you. At least when it is that way (which it should've) it'll motivate you to max out a manufacturer's affinity level to obtain just that, thus making it rewarding after you obtained it. I wish it was that way to begin with... :\

 

[Ryan81]

I've head the Carrera GT revving and doing a high-speed drive-by. They got the sound down very well. They have for many cars, though some sound 'meh'.

Why are banging your head against the wall BTW?

Because for some reason when I posted the comment via my android, all the smiley icons looked the same lol.

 

[prousonhairy]

Has anyone ever looked at some of the crazy stats they have under "my drivatar"? I wish it said what car I was driving when I recorded some of these bizarre ones.

Max lateral Gs: 19.838
Max acceleration G's: 19.999
Max breaking G's: 20.000
Max Right-Front tire load: 76,879 Lbs
Max Right-Rear Tire Temp: 475.9F
Max Left-Rear Suspension Stroke: 27.94 in

I don't really know much about those things, they seem a little unrealistic though?

I could go through each track/variation and figure out which of those max stats came from which track, but not tonight. It's first time I've really payed attention to those, and was surprised.

You would pull those off while crashing I guess.

The front right tire load had to be in the Gurkha at Daytona.

So after long thought and weighing options, I traded my PS4 in over the weekend and got an Xbox One. I will be grabbing Forza 6 tonight

I can't wait! I haven't played Forza since back on Forza 3 or 4 I believe with the 360.

Great stuff, welcome back to Forza! There's a gamertag exchange thread in case you want to add some friends, makes Rivals a lot more fun when you have a lot people there.

Thank you! And I'll definitely check it out. I haven't had time to really set anything up yet.

I really just got tired of the endless waiting on the other side, especially seeing how much more is consistently offered with Forza and Xbox in general. Glad to join you all

Welcome to the club, friend. The bar's over to the right, and the pool table's in the room over. Feel free to help yourself to some whiskey dogs too.

 

[DJTHEKING]

Top Gear Car Pack revealed.


My opinion? Meh, the R8 and FXXK are cool, the Jag XJS is nice and that's pretty much all. And also, WHY IS THERE A SUV there's always one in the pack it's just stupid just like the RR we already have one ffs.

The Range Rover is the fastest SUV from the factory (not including that one off BMW X5 with a V12 LMR engine), so that's nice for some more variety. The Dawn is like the 280SL from last months pack, it's a photomode car and that's really it. I'll give it a go and try to make it competitive for the fun of it. I'm not sure why they included another F-type and another Hellcat, but whatever.

 

[neddyie116]

The mystery begins!!

 

[SlipZtrEm]

My guess was the latest Ferraris (GTC4Lusso or F12tdf), but their lights don't quite match up.

Blech, it really does look like this:

The 280 SL was an enjoyable ride in stock form though. I'm quite sure the Dawn won't be.

 

[Terronium-12]

I'm confused. What mystery? Where did it come from? And why would the older California be teased in any way, shape or form?

I found this picture over at Forza Central in the Forza 6 category.

 

[Terronium-12]

That's one question answered. If it is the older California, again, why tease it?

 

[ALAN ULTIMATE]

Anyone know the P.I of the cars in this latest car pack?

 

[SlipZtrEm]

Hahaha. The XJ-S' bumpers can be removed, and more so than any other car, it looks utterly bizarre without them.

 

[RandomCarGuy17]

Well, the RR Sport SVR got me motivated to start taking my trucks and SUVs racing. I've never really given utility vehicles that much attention. I guess I just never cared for them as much as cars. Though, I did actually enjoy racing the Range Rover against other SUVs around Silverstone a bit and it felt quite quick.

The Ferrari FXX K felt kinda easier to drive than I expected a vehicle of that type to be.

Anyhow; if I made any changes to this pack; I probably would get rid of the Rolls Royce and replace that with the Falcon XY GTHO or Ford GT LM. The Dodge Charger hellcat would be replaced by another group 5 race car; I'm thinking either the Celica IMSA or Chevrolet Monza.

 

[GBalao888]

The Ferrari FXX-K is fast as FXX-K!!! Lapped the Le Mans circuit (without chicanes) at 3:33.563 with it, it actually has a good speed and handling balance with incredible acceleration but you must not get too wild with the throttle.
