Forza 4 Thread

Spikuh · 10-21-2011, 09:48 AM

Threw up my 370z and 240sx project cars into the club garage if anyone wants to try them out. They are both works in progress and both A600 or A599.

The Z feels pretty solid with TCS on, but the 240 likes to slide in the middle of a corner. The front tires also run around 30 degrees hotter than the rears with the inner edge a bit hotter than the outer edge.

I'm gonna try reducing front camber a bit and lower the spring rates or sway bar to try and equalize everything. I also probably need to play with the differential settings since it is now AWD. Hopefully this will help?

LOL I just get a sick RWD 600+ hp car, back down the final drive ratio so that 4th gear is hitting ~115mph, jack the camber out to ~ -3.0 rear -2.0 front, get the accel to about 75% and lower it all the way. I've got some super high scores like 55,000/lap at Maple Valley with a Corvette C1 and C2, and my Nismo 370.

So, anybody want some nice cars? I have plenty in Forza 4, happy to gift one per person if you have a dream car (and no not just the craziest most expensive ones). My gamertag is "DextrousBird71"

Just got my CSR pedals, shifter, and wheel. My rig is now complete.

My times have dropped though ... I gotta get used to the clutch, brake, etc. Fun as hell though ....

I created tanner Foust's ford fiesta and put it in to the club. Tell what you think.

I placed a bid on a unicorn car at auction (after all, there's an achievement for it), and the bid is "under review", tying up 4.5 million of my credits. It's been "under review" for over a week now, and it's really pi$$ing me off.

That's one thing I didn't like about the last Forza, and they've made it worse in 4 by increasing the number of Unicorn cars. The beauty of the digital world is once it's programmed, you get as many copies as you like for free. It is arbitrary and artificial to make something digitally or virtually "rare". Frankly it makes about as much sense as the car wash in GT 5.

But...but...think of weight savings by getting rid of all that dirt and the reduced drag coefficient with that fresh coat of wax!!! It's like... +5whp!!!!

Yeah, I don't like in GT games where there's a car wash, oil changes, and periodic re-stiffening... I mean, whatever, car maintenance is a hassle irl, and it is in games, too.

But what bums me out is that they're tying up my bid money. If I lose 4.6 million creds because the seller was exploiting the game in some way, then that sucks, and in fact, they should have just given me back my dough and said "sorry bout your luck", rather than make me wait forever and possibly lose that money because of some jackwagon.

Yea that would suck if you lost your bid. I'm surprised you were even close at 4.6 million. The bids for Unicorns I saw were all at 999,999,999.

Unicorn cars are kind of pointless IMO. I still haven't gotten a chance to pick up this game yet. How does everyone like it so far?
