How does one drift in Forza? I tried in FM2 and failed epically.

[Christopher]

Homos use the handbrake.

Perhaps I should ask Han for his lessons?

go into the corner drop down a gear then power, the back end should step out then just drift baby its simple,

 

[Clart]

He has used a quick shutter speed - the wheels are not moving - this will mean sharper shots. He could also be using a capture card - his photos are 700k, yours are 200k

simples

 

[Turkish]

A few of the uber geeks who are well into the photography are using other software like Clart says, the compression/uploading process the rest of us have used via the game/fm.net is what kills the quality.

downloaded the theme at lunch time....pretty pisch tbh.

What about the item of clothing for the Avatar we are supposed to be getting...any ideas?!?

On another note I've sold a shed load more of the tuning set up for drift Toyota, 16 sold now, all at 10k a pop

probably becasue I put "100000 achievment EASY!!" in the description lol

My best drift lap of Fujima Kaido is just over 50,000

I was finding it quite hard, I ended up using my Evo 9 modified to the max, worked perfectly fist time, didnt do no tuning, nothing.

I'm using a 300something bhp MX5 lol. It's no use on the uphill section, I'm making the majority of it on the downhill.

i use an mx5 too. but mines got over 900bhp its a right hassle

 

[Gaz.]

I'm trying to keep the power lower on it. Will have to keep slowly upping the power until i find a nice balance.

Just a quick tip for making the pictures better quality.

I've found a way to get great quality images out of photomode! If you take zoomed in shots and stitch them together afterwords, it'll make a high quality large picture. I'll try and post a tutorial if people are interested. When viewing the photos full size, I suggest comparing the Lotus logo, you can really see the difference! With this method you can make desktop wallpapers, poster prints, or even a higher quality standard 720p image.
This image I went overboard and used 18 pictures, but I've also done this exact same photo with 6 pictures. [http://www.flickr.com/photos/brodelicious/4058315862/sizes/o/in/pool-1242354@N21/] I'd say 6 (3x2) is good enough for 1280x720 forum viewing. This 18 photo one is able to be super zoomed and is over 4000pixels wide full size. Of course it's all about stiking a balance between quality and time consumtion, But 6 is quite easy to do, and will make a huge difference.

(will improve on it later)
The game appears to perfectly rotate around the center axis! This means that as long as you don't move the left thumb stick and only use the left, you can line up the images in any program including MS Paint.
1.Find an angle you want of your car, and zoom in as far as you can (20X)
2. Move back the camera to a distance that you can fit the parts of the car into 2 rows of 3 images
3. Take the photos and use only the right mouse stick to move the camera. Start on the far left, and pay attention to how much area the FM3 logo takes up. You will cut off the vertical left slice of each picture to get rid of the logo. Make sure when you move the camera to the right to take the next picture, that there is enough overlap to allow you to get rid of the logo.
4. Download the Photos to your computer, load them into a photo program, and cut off the vertical left slice of the image that contains the logo. Align all the images in a big enough work area and match up the features.

5. Post it to a photo site like imageshack or Flickr

Example:
Single shot taken in photo mode, comes out at 90kb, and has horrible compression. I found I can't even do contrast adjustments in photoshop the colour information is so badly damaged:

Now look at the stiched together image [Keep in mind I didn't bother doing a row of shots for the lower road, so the dimensions are slightly different]:
http://www.flickr.com/photos/brodelicious/4055446887/sizes/o/

And since it has more information, I can adjust contrast and colour:

Here's a close up comparison for people who can't be bothered to download. The difference is amazing IMHO:

Then since everything is so crisp you can create some great compositions!

I looked at that thread the other day but as soon as the mention of photo editing and multiple pics patchworked together came out I decided I'd pass. f**k that.

 

[Jason_E]

Yeh personally I can't be bothered with it! But there's a lot of people good at photoshop etc. on here

[DannyR]

How do you know how many Drift points you get per drift?!

I just did a drift there and got the achievement for 1000 points in one drift, but there was no score etc or anything on screen?

FFS. Downloaded a tune for the MX5, then had to buy different parts amounting to 50K credits. And the thing is worse on Kaido than mine was originally. Had to turn the xbox off before I chucked it out the window.
