I've just had a go with and without it, not sure there's much difference until you start sliding, with sim steering on it snaps back much quicker. Without it I found it much easier to hold a drift using the controller. I also notice it only gave an extra 2% XP.
I've always used sim steering though so will continue to try use it in the full game and see how I go. Getting used to the demo some more and finding it more enjoyable and I'm quicker than I was the other day when I first tried it.

Yea I think that was what I found, if it started to slide it was almost impossible to get it back.

It's weird, I've not played forza, other than Horizon 2, since 4 and I really don't remember the sim steering being as unforgiving as it is here.
I'll probably end up trading Project Cars in for this tbh, PC is amazing but I really don't have the time to put in to it that it requires!

I thought it was a day early. Damn 8 days is decent.
Still, f**k paying £80
Yeah it's £15 more than the Deluxe edition so £30 more than the standard one. Not really worth it for me as I'm going onto night shift tomorrow anyway so wouldn't be able to play.
Seems a bit cheeky from T10 though, hope this sort of thing doesn't become popular, charging people extra to get the game early.

£45 more for me!

Got code for rakuten
I think it's £50 for basic, £65 for the Deluxe with vip and £80 for the Ultimate with early release and vip.
I always used to play disk too but since having Project Cars on digital I figured I'd do that from now on, at least with games I know I'll probably never sell. Makes life a bit easier.

It's good.
Lots of body kits are back, few extra paint things.
Tuning improved and quick.
Gameplay is good.
Upgrades can be slow as it has been on XBONE on all Forzas.
Overall it's great, nothing much different just a mix of the best bits from FM4 and 5.
Lots of cars too, and some great tracks

Stuck Forza 5 on earlier and turned it off 10 mins later when I realised why I stopped playing it in the first place... The AI is f**king dire. Randomly braking... They refuse to race each other and seem to be slowing down to keep a cars length from the next competitor, rather than overtaking them.
Anyway... From what I've read (and may be wrong) but the weather and day/night isn't dynamic, so you either race in the sunshine or the wet with puddles... Race in the day or the night, which is surely a backwards step compared to other racing games?

Not tried online yet.
You can now set drivatar ability, turn aggression on and off. The AI is massively improved on 6, no braking mid corner on higher skilled drivatars.
The dynamic thing I don't see as an issue, unless you are in an endurance race or a race longer than 45 minutes.
Racing in the rain is good though, best water I've seen in a game.
Yea was a pain but worked
you get the codes emailed to you from Microsoft.

I've put a few hours into it FM6 now... and regretting my decision to buy this Ultimate version. It's far from bad. In fact, it's very good in many ways. Nice variation in cars, tracks. Looks good. But I can't get past Project Cars and how much better that feels (to me at least). It's worth a purchase if you're a Forza fan (as I am) but I can't help drawing up comparisons with PCars, and PCars 'feels' better to me.
I'm glad I bought it, but wish I'd bought the bog-standard edition.

See now I'm in the middle and it's pissing me off! Haha.
Project Cars is good but there's f**k all people online and it's all GT3 I'm bored already, I set races up with the caterhams and atoms and hardly anyone joins.
Forza has the online experience but after playing Project Cars completely lacks in the physics department. I guess it's saving grace is the more arcade feel so you can f**k about more, trying to slide and drift in Project Cars can be hard work. Tuning car's like 1500bhp Supra's in Project Cars would be impossible to control also but with Forza you can do it and boot it in the corner sliding out making loads of noise and smoke. It's just more 'fun' I guess.
I'll be trying to mix them up, Forza for a f**k about and Project Cars for a more serious feeling.

play games for enjoyment or go drive a real car.

This +infinity, most people playing project cars believe they are training in a simulator for the next F1 race.
Gaming is about having fun and FM6 gets the balance of fun with decent handling perfectly. I don't want to be playing a game so seriously that I need to worry about knocking 0.001 off of a lap time and getting corners correct everytime.
IMO Project Cars on a pad was terrible and didn't have any feel of "simulation" about it, FM6 does it with a pad better, which lets be honest 95% of people will play with.

I agree. PCars is shite unless you have a full rig with wheel and gears etc..
182, SQ7, Trafic
Exactly, and for 95% of people on controllers FM6 is the better pick up and play game whether you have no assists or all assists.
Yeah. Agreed.
I was convinced this is what I wanted from a driving game, and the PC was the answer to my prayers.
Turns out it wasn't.
As you say, the balance between fun and realistic handling in forza is the right balance for me. The pick up and play nature suits my time constraints too.
To do one race properly on PC would take about an hour with practice and qualifying... then last lap you mess one corner and lose 6 places or blow an engine.
I know "thats racing", but I'd rather the fun/realistic balance of forza.
My regret with PC is not buying hard copy to sell on. Its an epic game but not for me, just don't have enough spare time to get into it enough. +would benefit from a full rig.
Going to get the fm6 demo and try it this weekend. [emoji106]
Fm horizons was too arcady for me. Fun in places though.
Shame forza doesnt have uk tracks.
Loved that aspect of PC.... It was the main lure of the game.

Haha,some ridiculous comments here. Ive been playing racing games on a pad since the early 90s,and nothing has ever come close to Pcars,such as driving a merc DTM at Oulton Park in dynamic weather...such an immersive and intense experience. I dont get these pad comments at all,unless your still playing the day one version. Its on patch 3.0 now.
If i wanted to go play an arcade racer like this,id stick Drive Club on,but it really doesnt interest me anymore.
RS Clio 182
Jesus. Maybe some of us want to do a full practise,qualy and race weekend with fuel use and pit stops. When do you do that in real life? I prefer a bit of thinking and strategy to my games instead of doing a few short races for some XP for a new alloy or a cheat 'grippy tyre' mod.
