These are actually very well updated. The Scuderia was a step back from FM4.

Don't you feel the Scuderia was more accurately represented in F5? More bark in the notes and higher detail.

Again the M3, had significantly more detail in F5, but maybe they used a different race exhaust or cam parts to record the sound after upgrade. This version of the M3 from both games sound significantly different between 5 and 6. There's a disconnect.

Recall the SRT Viper's notes from F5? It had that sick "pffffthhh" sound coming from the exhaust as most muscle cars do, on up/down revs and particularly downshifts. They omitted that from F6 - so there's less detail.

The Scuderia was nearly a disgrace in FM5. The pitch was too high climbing the gears & there was zero bark in the exhaust coming under heavy braking.

Not sure how anyone could think the E46 M3 had "more detail", either. The car has always been questionable in sound. It finally has some merit to it.

 

[GranTurismo guy]

Accuracy before detail for me. E46 sounds much better now.

 

[VXR]

Yeah, there's no point in making the sound up. Get it right, even if the car in question sounds a bit meh.

And people said chauffeurs can't drift.
This is exactly why the Caddy Limo is one of my favorites from the October pack.

I agree with this so much for a second I thought I posted it

I wonder if we'll see Stephen Hawking's wheelchair on the next car pack.

Nah, not the E46; was talking about the M3 2004 model, is it? The one which comes with an option to add M3 GTR bumpers and wing.

That is the E46........

 

[Rob192005]

Nevermind,it did work.

That would be FU... GREATLY AWESOME!

Tracking in the rain does happen. The game does a great job of putting puddles in realistic places. I hit a big puddle at Buttonwillow this year and went off into the dirt. That was a rough day at the track.

That's why I said it

It rains at Buttonwillow?

Excellent.

Cool

Cool

And? You were going somewhere with this?

A huge thank you to the community for downloading, liking, and using my designs. I raced some more online Friday night and woke up about 6 hours later Saturday morning to this T10 message! I also have the platinum paint medal for having 1,000 of my designs used by the community. Again, thank you for those that have put in the time to download, like, and use my designs. Greatly appreciated!!

Okay, so how can I find your designs from the game?

I don't know any easy way to do this other than to "follow" me.

Only other way is to get into a specific car then search for my name. Its a bit of a pain. Still not quite as easy as the F4 storefront. But at least a huge leap forward from F5 / FH2.
I also found out if you are in the mp lobby or leagues, you can click that persons name and directly download their paint jobs or tunes while in the lobby if the race is over. That's a nice feature. You might also be able to follow them from that menu but I am not sure.

Pretty sure one of my most popular paint jobs right now is the "OVERSIZE LOAD" limo paint job. First night I put that up I had about 85 downloads within an hour.

I have some of my paint jobs here.

Not very often! When it rains, it pours however.

Yes, I know, this should be posted on the "Glitches and Bugs" thread, but this is a pretty neat and rather useful glitch that lets you get any car in the game for free. Yes, it sounds outrageous, but trust me, it does work. Though the probability of being banned from online is not really farfetched... I think.



Protip: Buy multiple Ferrari 250 GTOs with this glitch, then sell them.

 

[MUSC4EVER]

Pretty sure that has been posted here or on that thread...

Just received this:

Unfortunately, it only has the "base" Forzavista experience. Kinda disappointed you can't open the hood.

Can you take the hood off? Some cars wont allow you to "open" the hood but if you approach the engine area it will allow you to remove any cover on the engine. Same with some of the race for instance the BMW#25. Also the McLaren P1 you can remove the entire engine cover. If you ever hit the "explode" option and the hood doesn't open, always approach the hood or engine compartment and try my suggestion. Even the Subaru Brat lets you sit in the back of the bed where the seats are at.

EDIT: Oh also keep in mind. If you upgrade the engine at all with certain parts or even swap the engine, you will no longer be able to view the engine. So if you do ever want to check a car out, do it before you start swapping engines or engine parts.

Nah. I walked around the entire car. Can't open the hood or the trunk.
