Forza 3

[Ja5on]

But that means me buying a 360, Chwissy. And I don't know if I can cope with two attacks of the Dark Side in the space of month. An iPhone one minute, then a console the next? <shudder>

D.

go for it mate, ive gone back to x360 and loving it.

 

[ado]

As I never played against you guys I want to have a game. Anyone on tonight?

 

[Cuppa]

Also I would like to get involved in some CS Forza action tonight

Ado add me: pennant11

 

[Cupster]

I make a good back marker, lol...... BURNDAWG172

 

[Christopher]

[Rhino172]

just made what was imo a crappy design for my Toyota Trueno, put it on storefront for the sake of it for 4K and 2 mins later someones bought it lol...

someone has also paid 1k for the even more crap one i made for my honda fit lol


EDIT: just upped it to 5k and someone else ha bought it lol. Bumped it up to 10k now...

 

[Christopher]

My Veyron will dip below the 20sec barrier for a mile. Beats the 510 by a decent margin!

ooooo, not git a veyron yet. Its gettin the 510 off the line which looses time. Im only using 3 gears

 

[Christopher]

Yeah, it's 1350bhp/1250lb ft. Silly!

 

[Turkish]

w**k under braking mind

 

[micallef1990]

anyone on forza now. add micallef1990 and ill start up a game

 

[Spiezels]

Can you mod cars without paying/ to just test in free run etc. Or is it only once you've paid for them in career.

 

[Pete Nov]

Pete Nov is my XBL tag if anyone wants to add me.

 

[kpowell911]

anyway of finding what tracks you have raced at?

 

[powey]

V8 supercars are nothing short of brutal tbh. Wasn't expecting the back end to be quite so lively lol

Lol, drift on :rasp:

 

[Ja5on]

i'll be up for some online racing later tonight

 

[MaLicE]

i should be on later for some xbox live

 

[Ja5on]

just done a race on the monteras extreme track online. I won. 6s a lap quicker than the others in a standard car I then get kicked lol

 

[mikey_172]

any one up for some drfty action later ? on the hanger track

 

[RSi Dave]

I dont get the Warning Triangle, why does this show?

Sometimes i can be following a car in its slip stream and get it, or on the oval tracks get it for driving in a straight line. Seems odd.

Also annoying how they haven't removed the slowing down if you accidentally go off the track in a shicain or the run off areas seem really slippy and stop you from accelerating.

Overall though i love it, i am completely addicted to it. I am also liking the storefront, i made a cisco logo and i managed to sell two of them which is quite cool.

 

[Turkish]

The "glue" grass/dirt is to stop people making big cuts and cheating.

The uncertified laps come from impacts with cars, barriers, heavy landings where you bottom out, cutting corners and drafting (which was used to cheat leaderboards on Forza 2)

 

[Gaz.]

I got one for nothing yesterday! No loss of traction, no bottom out (was on a smooth piece of track), no lock up braking (as I wasn't on the brakes) nowhere near any kerbs/grass/run off tarmac as I was going down a straight, and a couple of seconds ahead of the chasing car. It's annoying as I was on a corker of a laptime too

 

[iain187]

i get the warning triangle all the time before i even get to the first corner without going near any other cars.

it's proper buggy.

 

[Turkish]

TBH if you guys are genuinely concerned about getting laps at the top of the boards you need to take it to the hotlaps rather than trying in race.

 

[Christopher]

Your best laps won't be anywhere near the top either. None of us would be!

 

[iain187]

im not, i was trying to do a clean race to see if there was an acheivement for it like in F2 but after all my efforts there wasn't

Stupid game

 

[Gaz.]

TBH if you guys are genuinely concerned about getting laps at the top of the boards you need to take it to the hotlaps rather than trying in race.

It would just be nice to get a clean lap without one TBH. I know Time trial is the place to get a proper decent lap in without the distractions of other cars.

I supposes for the sake of cheating but its supposed to be a simulation, why not have flags for crashing people out of the race or something?

Also, where has the dirt gone. In Forza2 when you went off track some dust would be kicked up. This appears to have gone in Forza3 which is a shame.

 

[Turkish]

GT5 uses a flag + rev/speed cap penalty and that's far from perfect too. Not seen a system yet that either works properly or penalises appropriately.

 

[sneeks]

At Level 14 now and starting to win the better cars, loving the game so far and very glad I bought a 360 again.

 

[Brazo]

Went on my fave track earlier, Mugello and they have done it proud.

Thing that annoys me the most is the starts, the car shaking like a shitting dog really puts you off your start! Is there a way to turn it off?

 

[Adam]

On a side note I'm loving Alkaline Trio - We've Had Enough as one of the songs in the game

 

[kpowell911]

Currently got my hired driver doing an R3 Endurance race whilst I watch Wolverine on Blu Ray

I know I wont get XP and only half the cash but f**k driving an R3 car for an hour + lol

 

[sneeks]

I agree it is annoying.

 

[Adam]

The FXX is a simply fooking awesome R3 !

 

[James.f]

I need a decent A class car guys, what do you recommend, because my Twingo goes round bends then as soon power is supplied im in the barrier ffs,

 

[powey]

exige
